We report a case of Marfan syndrome (MFS) in a South African patient, which is extraordinary because of the large constellation of clinical, radiological and vascular anomalies in a single patient. A literature search from 1950 to date did not show a similar report of such extensive clinical characteristics of MFS.
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is one of the most common inherited disorders of connective tissue [1,2]. It is an autosomal dominant condition with a reported incidence of 1 in 3000 to 5000 individuals. There is a wide range of clinical severity associated with MFS with classic ocular, cardiovascular and musculoskeletal abnormalities, while some patients demonstrate significant involvement of the lung, skin and central nervous system. The diagnosis of MFS relies essentially on the fulfillment of clinical diagnostic criteria as outlined by the revised Ghent score [3]. We report a case of MFS which is extraordinary because of the large number of clinical, radiological and vascular anomalies occurring in a single subject. A PubMed search was conducted on MFS in humans from 1950 to date and showed close to 2000 citations, none of which presented with such extensive clinical characteristics of MFS in an individual. Furthermore, a Google� and Yahoo� search of images related to MFS did not show a similar case.
An 18 year old black male, with no previous medical history, presented to the casualty department at the RK Khan Hospital in Durban, South Africa with atypical chest pain. The chest pain was present for a duration of 1 month and occurred in the early hours of the morning, lasting for approximately 3 minutes. There were no associated palpitations, autonomic symptoms, pre-syncope or syncope and the pain was not related to respiration or food intake. On further enquiry, the patient volunteered that his "different appearance" prompted him to search the internet to determine if other people had features similar to him. The internet search suggested that he may have MFS, and this was the primary reason for him to visit the hospital to find out if he indeed did have MFS. The patient did not have a family history of a similar problem. On general examination the patient was comfortable at rest, extremely tall (2.1 meters) and thin with typical musculoskeletal features of MFS. These included arachnodactyly with positive wrist and thumb signs, pectus carinatum deformity, hind foot valgus, dolichostenomelia (< 0.78), increased arm span/height, scoliosis, dolichochepaly, enophthalmos, downslanting palpebral fissures, malar hypoplasia, and retrognathia. His total systemic score was 10 based on the revised Ghent nosology. Figure 1 demonstrates the patients typical clinical signs of MFS. The patient was normotensive with a sinus bradycardia of 60 beats per minute. The first heart sound was soft with a murmur of mitral regurgitation graded as 4/5. There were no clinical features of infective endocarditis or cardiac failure. Respiratory examination demonstrated pectus carinatum and was otherwise normal. Ophthalmology examination conducted by an ophthalmologist revealed a left dense cataract with lens subluxation but no dislocation, iridodonesis, an old retinal detachment and minimal light perception. The right eye had a clear lens with no subluxation or dislocation, but showed iridodonesis with myopia. Laboratory tests were within normal limits (full blood count, urea and electrolytes, calcium, magnesium and phosphate, liver function tests, growth hormone, prolactin, troponin T, creatine kinase).Chest X-ray (Figure 2) showed an increased cardiothoracic ratio of greater the 50%. Echocardiography demonstrated prolapse of the anterior mitral valve leaflet with moderately severe mitral regurgitation and aortic root dilatation measuring 5 cm. The ejection fraction was 65% and no evidence of aortic dissection was noted (Figure 3). Computerised tomography (CT) (Figure 4 and its subsets) showed dilatation of the aortic sinuses of valsava extending to the ascending aorta. The aortic root was dilated measuring 6.3 X 6.4cm. The ascending aorta measured 3.1cm. There was no dissection or calcification of the aortic wall. The arch of the aorta and its main branches were within normal limits. The root of the main pulmonary artery was dilated measuring 4.1cm. The rest of the pulmonary arterial system was within normal limits. A suprarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm was noted with length 15.1 cm and diameter of 5 cm. There were no features of dissection, mural thrombi, or signs of imminent rupture. The right kidney had dual blood supply, with one artery arising from the inferior portion of the aneurysm and the other from the normal aorta inferiorly. The single left renal artery arose from the inferior aspect of the aneurysm. All renal arteries were patent and there was appropriate and symmetrical enhancement of the kidneys. The coeliac axis and the superior mesenteric arteries arose from the abdominal aortic aneurysm. The inferior mesenteric artery arose from the normal abdominal aorta. The lung fields were clear and the cranio-cervical junction was normal with no subluxation. There was pectus carinatum and a left scoliosis of the upper thoracic spine. Dural ectasia with posterior scalloping of the vertebral bodies was noted in the lumbar sacral spine. There was expansion of the sacral spinal canal and enlargement of the sacral foramen. The patient was counseled on his medical condition and offered surgery for his mitral valve and aortic root dilation. After consultation with his family he declined surgical intervention. He was discharged on losartan and subsequently lost to follow. Prior to discharge informed consent was obtained from the patient for publication of this case.
Marfan syndrome is almost exclusively inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with most patients harboring mutations involving the gene (FBN1) encoding the connective tissue protein fibrillin-1 [4]. In less than 10% with typical marfan phenotype, no mutations in FBN1 is identified and mutations in a gene encoding for transforming growth factor- beta receptors (TGFBR) maybe responsible [5]. While most individuals with MFS have an affected parent, about 25 % have MFS as a result of a de novo mutation. Our patient had no family history of MFS and genetic testing was not performed. It is important to note that even in the presence of a FBN1 mutation, the diagnosis of MFS relies on fulfillment of clinical diagnostic criteria according to the revised Ghent nosology. This patient had both cardinal features of the disease such as aortic root dilatation and ectopia lentis and systemic score of 10. Mortality is related to cardiac complications, which is frequently associated with aortic dissection. Although the index patient did not have evidence of dissection, the aortic root was markedly dilated. In addition, mitral valve prolapse (MVP) was identified on echocardiography, and this is found in about 40-54% of patients with MFS [6]. About 25% of patients with MFS and MVP have progressive disease with moderate to severe mitral regurgitation [6]. Heart failure attributable to MVP and regurgitation also represents a major source of morbidity and mortality and will require mitral valve replacement, similar to our patient. Based on current guidelines from the American Cardiac Society [7] this patient requires elective replacement of the aortic root and mitral valve replacement, but he declined surgical intervention. He was instructed to restrict strenuous activity and was commenced on losartan. Because of his sinus bradycardia, the patient was not started on beta blocker therapy, although this has been shown to decrease myocardial contractility and may also improve the elastic properties of the aorta [8]. While we respect the patient's decision not to undergo surgical intervention, the life span of patients with classic MFS is markedly decreased if untreated.
Marfan syndrome is one of the most common inherited disorders of connective tissue and this index case merits consideration because of the wide variety of ocular, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and vascular abnormalities occurring in a single patient.

Maison Alaïa announced in Paris the formation of the Fondation Alaïa at 18 Rue de la Verrerie. The foundation will be located at the same place that the designer had worked and lived, and where his exhibition and shop are also located. This new foundation can be considered an extension of the association that was founded in 2007 by the designer himself and his partner Christoph von Weyhe, and his longtime friend Carla Sozzani.
<p "="">The exhibition called "Azzedine Alaïa: Je Suis Couturier" will be curated by Olivier Saillard, and will be launched in January at the late designer's headquarters which will showcase Alaïa's "heritage, style, icons, and savoir-faire". Saillard explains that this exhibition is more of a homage to the late designer, who was deeply admired by everyone in the industry, and especially Saillard who feels deeply about this project and considers it an honour and a huge responsibility. "Azzedine did the work. Now it's up to us to build his memory." Saillard explains.
Approximately half of the pieces in the exhibition will be from the designer's iconic evening wear pieces, while the other half will display pieces for the designer that will be revealed for the first ever.In the spring, the exhibition will be presented at the London Design Museum, to coincide with the momentous inauguration of the house's first London flagship store on 139 New Bond Street.
The foundation will be a safe house for all the treasures that were created by Alaïa during his lifetime. It will be managed and looked after by all the loyal talents that constituted the Alaïa family for the past 30 years. The foundation will also collaborate with cultural institutions to display its collections and moreover, it will provide grants and donations to "young fashion visionaries" thus continuing the Alaïa vision and legacy.

You may pump in some crazy places
While it's wonderful that companies are now required by law to provide lactation rooms and breaks to nursing moms, you may not be pumping there all the time. Have you ever had to go to the bathroom on a long road trip and you're stuck in traffic and, and…you just pull over and pee at the nearest gas station restroom, even if it's filthy? Sometimes biology takes over and you just need to do your thing. Breast milk let down is like that, too. Your breasts may get full and hard as rocks and need to do your thing, even if you're in the car on your way to a meeting or commuting on the train. You may want to invest in a car adapter or a battery-operated breast pump so you can pump on when you're on the road. Though you may cover up, people may catch on to what you're doing. And expect the cloth to fall so that you're less surprised when it does. Even if you're pumping in private, you may forget to lock the door or pull the blinds and co-workers with the very best of intentions may still walk in. Rest assured, they are always, always, way more embarrassed than you are.
Working helps you connect with yourself again
"It's so nice to have adult conversation!", "I feel like my pre-baby self again!" and "It's good to not have to focus on the baby for a few hours," are some comments I hear in every class. Let's face it, before you had the baby (and while you were carrying the baby) it was all about you. Since having the baby, you're trying to guess what that cry means, wondering if they'll sleep for that extra hour, and hoping that that cough won't lead to something more serious. When you go to work and can "just" focus on the job for a few hours, it's a relief. Life just became a lot more simple, even if it's for a few hours. Also, if you like what you do, it feels good to return to something that you have a level of competency in, something you're good at. So many new parents have that "am I doing it right?" feeling; it's a relief to go back to work where you know what you're doing and know how to do it well.
You don't need to lose the baby weight before you go back to work
One of my favorite quotes from my doula is, "It took you nine months to walk into this, it will take you nine months to walk out." Since maternity leave is rarely nine months long, it's not realistic to expect that you'll lose the baby weight before you return to work. After all, maternity leave is an opportunity for you to heal, to bond, to just lay in bed with your baby if that's what you want to do. It's not about going to the gym and shaving pounds; it's about being gentle with yourself and taking time to feel out this new role. And let's admit it; those stretchy-waist pregnancy jeans are seriously comfortable. Might as well get a few more wearings out of them; nobody needs to know but us moms.

The easiest and the cheapest way to get to Brest from Minsk is to take a train. The ticket cost depends on the type of the train: it may vary from € 2.5 to € 10. There're several trains during the day, so you can easily choose the best time for you. If you're thinking of going to Brest on weekend, make sure to get the ticket in advance. There's also an express Stadler trains (the trip takes only 3 h 15 min), some of them even have wi-fi and cafes.
Another option is to go by bus. If you prefer this mode of transportation, be ready to pay € 7–10. The bus arrives right to the city center.
The distance between Minsk and Brest is about 350 km, so it's possible to drive there. So if you or your friends have a car, you can even get to Brest in 3 hours.
You can also try to catch BlaBlaCar, but here we have to warn you: most cars go from Moscow and can be late. So this option is acceptable only if you don't have a strict timetable. The prices start from € 5.
You can move around the city by public transport: buses, trolley buses and minibuses (check the timetable on kogda.by). The prices will be a nice surprise for those who are used to European ones: € 0.23 for a bus or trolley bus ride or € 0.4 for a minibus, which is more comfortable, quick and can bring you to the remote places.
There's nothing cooler than riding a bike all around the town, because Brest is pretty small, especially the central part. There are no actually bike paths in the center, but you're not so easily scared, right? Here you'll find several companies that offer bicycles for rent. A simple city bike in Koleso Rental (22, Masherava praspiekt) costs € 6 a day. You can follow the bike path to Brest Fortress or Belavezhskaya Puscha. One more path goes along Maskouskaya Street.
Taxi is pretty popular here, during past few years the prices dropped down. A good choice is City Taxi. It's the cheapest: just € 0.25 for a km and € 0.75 for getting in.
The cheapest hostel in Brest is BVT (36, Dubroskaya vulica). It's kinda far from the center, but you'll have to pay just € 6 for a night. They'll ask to pay a little more for towels. There're not so much guests, so there's a chance you'll stay in a room all alone.
An extremely cheap hotel that offers beds for € 4 is The Hotel of Brest Youth Tourism Center (22, Masherava praspiekt). For more information call +375 21-12-32. There's wi-fi and bike rental.
Brest Central (5, Savietskaya vulica) is the main Brest hostel in a beautiful historical building. Free cookies, tea, original designs (no IKEA!). You can stay in a room for 5 people for € 10.
A cool variant is Good Morning Hostel (21, Varauskóha vulica). It's located just 500 m from the Brest Fortress. Cozy atmosphere, a lot of paintings and smiles, so you can't stay in a bad mood. The staff is friendly and helpful. It costs € 7 for a bed in a room for 6 people.
There's a 4-star hotel Hermitage (7, Chkalava vulica). Premium rooms, high level service and endless flow of salmon for breakfast. Surely, all that beauty costs € 75 and more for a double room.
Just recently Dream Hostel (17/1, Mayakouskaha vulica, ap.5) was the only hostel in town. It's located in a regular apartment in the city center and sort of annoys neighbors. The rooms design is classic, minimalist, clean and cozy. There's free wi-fi, and even a coffee machine in the kitchen. A bed in a room for 4 people costs € 9.
If you are not a hostel person, stay in Hotel Vesta (16, Krupskai vulica): it's one of the examples of famous soviet service, although it has been recently renovated and everything looks quite nice. The price of a double room € 30, but if you want to drop by breakfast buffet, be ready to pay extra € 6.
Paul&Marie Apartments offer large rooms in the city center. All of them have recently been renovated. The prices start from € 35 for 1 bedroom flat. Besides regular commodities, you'll find coffee, tea and bottled water in the kitchen. There are three bedroom apartments, which is really convinient for big companies. By the way, you can rent a flat from this guys not only in Brest, but also in Vitebsk, Gomel, Mogilyov, Bobrujsk and Soligorsk.Miss your homey home? Don't worry, check out AirBnb or Iz ruk v ruki to find your dream apartment for € 18–20. Сouchsurfing community is also quite popular in Brest, so they will be glad to host travelers.
The iconic place that attracts lots of tourists is, of course, the Brest Fortress (60, Hieroyau Abarony Bresckaj Krepasci vulica). You can't miss it. Unfortunately, there is no convenient way to get there by public transport, so it's better to drive or walk. The place is not so close to the city center, but the road is beautiful. Recently there has been launched a free mobile app by The Brest Fortress Development Foundation, which is available both in Russian and English. It will help you create an individual route, visit more than 60 spots and see more than 200 historical and modern photos.
On the memorial's territory you can see the sculpture Zhazhda ("Thirst"), think about your life by the eternal fire and visit St. Nicolas Presidial Church. Listen to the recording of the announcement of declaring the war that is always on at the star shaped main entrance and take a photo of Kholmskiye Vorota which are depicted on the new 50 rubles banknote.
The entrance to the fortress is free, but if want to visit museums, you'll have to pay a couple of rubles. There are The Museum of Defence of the Brest Fortress and the new "Museum of War is The Territory of Peace". A bit aside from the city the museum The Fifth Fort is situated (99, Staradarozhnaya vulica). It's much less visited, so the security doesn't really care if you get into each chink of the fort to explore underground rooms and passages.
The Art Museum is located in the South barracks. The collection includes defense theme and social realism. There you can find a miniature of medieval Brest that had been situated on the territory of the memorial before the fortress was built.
Near the Kholmskiye Vorota there is a unique museum that has nothing to do with the memorial but stands on the territory on the ancient town. It's the Archeological Museum Berescie (60, Karla Marksa vulica). Here the wooden houses of 11-13th centuries are presented. They are preserved in accordance with all the temperature and humidity standards, that is why no one is allowed to walk in. Nevertheless, you can perfectly examine it from the above. This is the only museum of medieval eastern European city in the world. The ticket costs € 1.25.
One of the most interesting museums in the city is the Museum of Saved Values (39, Lenina vulica). Pieces of art and antiques, which were confiscated after unsuccessful attempts of smuggling, are collected there. You can see traditional Japanese silk art and pottery, Chinese vases, or works by Aivazovski and Vrubel. Cultural evenings and workshops are organized every now and then.
The Natural History Museum (60, Karla Marksa vulica) has been renovated recently and now may be proud of its modern exhibit. It tells about clothes, furniture and weapons and also about Soviet times. There is a cool exhibition of traditional clothes of different regions.
If you are interested in history, don't miss The Museum of History of the City of Brest (3, Lievanieuskaha vulica): there are more than 800 showpieces that tell the story of the city from the moment of its foundation in 1019.
When locals say "see you in the center" or "old town" they mean Savietskaya Street and its neighborhood. It's the main pedestrian street, which is flooded by people every evening. There are tons of cafes, boutiques and cute shops.
A chorale synagoge was located in the building of Belarus cinema. It is said that you can still find its brickwork in the men's room. Actually, Brest was one of the Jewish cities till the beginning of 20th century. Menachem Begin, a Nobel Prize winner and the first prime-minister of Israel, was born here.
If you come to Brest by bus or train, then one of the first things you see will be St. Nicolas Brethren Church (10, Savietskaya vulica). Right in front of it there is an excellent Winter Garden with tropical, subtropical and desert plants. The ticket costs € 1.
Then you'll reach one of the Brest's landmarks – The Music Clock. A beautiful clock face, stone foundation and metal emblems of Brest of different historic periods. A funny detail: instead of IV four roman IIII are written. Pay attention to the wall paintings.
Lately there has been installed the Shoe of Wealth. It promises that everyone who tries it on would get incredible earnings and luck in financial issues. So try the shoe on, maybe it'll start working.
Make sure to see the oldest building of chemist shop in the city (101, Savietskaya vulica). It was built back in 1925 by Solomon Grinberg.
One of the main monuments in the city is dedicated to the upcoming 1000 anniversary of Brest (Hohalya / Savietskaya). Its total height is 15 m. There are figures of dukes and the image of a mother and a soldier, the high relief with 6 stories: the legend of the foundation of the city, the building of the city, the participation of local people in the Battle of Grunvald, the publication of Brest Bible, the defense of Brest Fortress and space exploration. The monument already has its own scandalous story: there are 75 mistakes in the historical texts! How did that even happen? Well, somebody put У instead of Ў.
On the corner of Savietskaya and Astrouskaha streets there is another unusual sign – the Old Lantern. The order to establish the position of city lamplighter is engraved on the scroll. According to it, the lamplighter should light the lanterns every day at sunset. The figure of a bat holding the lantern symbolizes that Brest will never be covered with darkness. Every evening the lamplighter puts a small ladder and lights the lanterns. This performance attracts lots of people, so don't miss it. Approximate time is shown on the clock.
It's interesting to walk in the neighborhood too. For example, head for Gogalya Street where the Avenue of Lanterns is. Each lamp is dedicated to a work by Gogol, try to guess them all. Check out Kamsamolskaya Street, 17 Vierasnya Street and Svabody Square with old houses of the middle 19th century and then go to Levaneuskaha Street.
The houses were built in 1920s, when this territory was a part of Polish Republic. The street almost hasn't changed since then (well, just the casino in the building 7 doesn't work any more). From Levaneuskaha you can go right to the Park of 1 of May, the main city park and recreation zone. Here you'll have a chance to mediate on the bench, feed ducks on the lake and walk on lots of bridges. This is the favourite venue for wedding photoshoots. In summer there is a couple of park amusments, mostly for children. Extreme lovers will love Mars though, it costs € 1.5. Another interesting place is Central Market (34, Pushkinskaya vulica). Go inside to see the dome cealing that would be more appropriate in a circus than in the place where sauerkraut and meat are sold.
If you're lucky enough you'll get to an organ concert in the Church of St. Cross (34, Lenina vulica). One of the most respected icons in Belarus, the icon of Brest Mother of God, is kept there. It is the replica of the image from the Basilica Santa Maria Madgore on Rome. And in the St. Simeon Church there are relics of St.Afanasiy.
A nice way to escape city fuss is a walk or a bike ride along the rowin basin. In summer there is a beach, and in the evening you'll meet a lot of families riding bicycles or running. And here the sunsets are most beautiful, they can be your next cool Instagram post.
Kryly Khalopa (2/1, Khalturina vulica) is a project by active young people that is worth mentioning. It's a place where there are no borders, where a performance transforms into an exhibition, and a gallery into an informal university. Follow their page to see what is going on and take part in a workshop or concert.
A similar space, which promotes on belarusian culture, is the cultural center Hruntounya (14, Dzyarzhynskaha vulica). From time to time they invite artists and writers, organize book presentations, cultural evenings or workshops or talk about travelling. They appreciate Belarusian speech.
Another youth organization Dzedzich (46-1, Mayakouskaha vulica) focuses on work with local ypung people and develops bike culture in the city.
Time-club High Voltage is a place where a lot of concerts and meeting are organized.
In the Art Center Dom (33, Budzyonava vulica) you can see a performance of independent theatre "Naprotiv", PLUM BUM or Muzart concert, and take part in summer festival Sumashedshiy Dom (Crazy House).
Don't forget that Belavezhskaya Puscha is just an hour away! There is also the Niemcevichi Manor in Skoki village, where you can get by minibus from the city center in 30 minutes. A nice place to go for a walk, the manor and the 18th century park. A writer and political activist Julian Niemcevich lived there. He was the adjutant of Tadeush Kascushka and one of the authors of the first Constitution in Europe (1791). Right here in the manor a protocol about military armistice WWI between Soviet Russia and German Empire was signed.
Are there any chicken lovers? The first KFC has recently been opened in Brest (39, Masherava vulica). You can hang out inside or grab something in the express window.
Freedom (48, Savietskaya vulica) is the classics of Brest fastfood. Try cheeseburger where the cutlet is pinched between two draniks – so belarusian.
In the Korona Shopping Mall there's a cool place Pit Stop (210, Maskouskaya vulica). Delicious home-made meals, broad menu. You can just chill with a cuo of tea and a dessert or have a decent dinner for about € 2.5.
Al taglio (55, Savietskaya vulica) sells pizza slices, prices start from € 0.75.
Burger club (20, Pushkinskaya vulica) is something in the middle between McDonald's and Burger King. A pretty nice place with traditional burgers, cheese sticks, fried shrimps and amazing waffles with maple syrup and ice-cream. The prices are a bit higher than in a regular fast food restaurant.
Near the central market and bus station there's an excellent spot that bakes pancakes with various fillings. Ask locals where it is.
If you've completely run out of money, search for small bakeries that offer cheap coffee to go. There have been opened lots of them lately, for example at Savietskaya Street.
The coffee chain Paragraph (66, Savetskaya vulica and 32, Karbysheva vulica) can be put on the well-deserved top of our list. Here you can find really good coffee, delicious pastry, cakes, cupcakes and friendly atmosphere. There are frequent concerts of local bands at Karbysheva, the personnel are always cheerful and charming. We advise you to taste orange coffee and super chocolate brownie. A cup of coffee costs from € 1.53.
It's such a pleasure to spend time on the summer terrace of café Sonet (110, SavIetskaya vulica). Here you can watch the street lamps be turned on while drinking wonderful cocoa with marshmallows and eating baked pudding or apple pie.
We recommend to all fans of Starbucks a visit to Royal Coffee (55, Savietskaya vulica). Recently this café have become a partner of a doughnuts shop, so you can learn that coffee and doughnuts is actually a perfect set.
K'lab Coffee (54, Masherava vulica) offers alternative ways of brewing and also sells fresh-roasted coffee.
Progresso (21, Pushkinskaya vulica). This place is to be visited for their tasty and reasonably priced breakfasts. A breakfast costs from €1.5.
The right place to eat and drink a cup of coffee is Times Café (30, Savietskaya vulica). The interior of the café is in the classic style, the atmosphere is very intimate, especially during early mornings. The best dish to taste is the soup with three kinds of fish or grilled tongue with potatoes. For breakfast (the café is open from 8.30 a.m.) we advise to take fresh curd fritters. Currently the exhibitions of modern artists are very popular here.
Are you fond of Soviet glamour? Then the best place for you is Svayaki (5, Pushkinskaya vulica). The café is in the national style. Here you can find big and tasty meals for reasonable prices. Though, be ready to wait for your draniki some 40 minutes. The average price for a meal, including beer, is €10.
There have been recently opened quite a democratic place Klyukva (52, Dzyarzhynskaha vulica), that is not far from Savetskaya vulitsa. The restaurant is famous for its cured herring & vegetable cake (pod shuboy) and draniki in a pan. The average price for a meal is € 5-10.
The tastiest pizza is served at the café Venezia (5, Internatsionalnaya vulica). The restaurant owner is Italian, so he knows the value of a true pizza. Apart from pizza there are other Italian dishes, such as risotto, ravioli, lasagne and pasta. So if you feel like going to Italy, this place is for you. A pizza costs from € 3.5.
At Art-Café (52, Savietskaya vulica) you can chill on the couch while sipping wine. The prices here are above average in comparison with other cafés of Brest, but meals are of high quality and helpings are big. Drop in at the café to take a steak. Temporarily the cafés is closed because of renovation, but follow the news on the official café page.
The café that positions itself as family-friendly (it has a child´s room) – Mario Café (275A, Maskouskaya vulica, business center Diagonal). There are a lot of interesting pictures and statuette of Mario. Besides, at the entrance there is a kind of photo-zone with beautiful classical motorscooter, straight out of American movies. Quite a brilliant idea! The dishes that are worth trying are pizza with cured tomatoes and chocolate fountain.
Have you just fed the park duckies? Now it´s time to feed yourself! Luckily the Park of 1st of May has an excellent place U ozera. Here you can find cherry brandy, shish kebab and grilled sausages. The patio is designed in the Middle Age style. In winter it´s nice to look out of window at the falling snow, and in summer to sit near the chilly lake under the willows.
The restaurant Yoshito offers Pan-Asiatic cuisine (28, Karbysheva vulica). Drop in here to eat sushi and drink plum wine. Sometimes people come to play games.
The restaurant-museum Traktir na Kovelskay (36, Kovelskaya vulica) is the right place to have a good meal and to delight the eye. This place is not in the center, but still it´s worth visiting. The tables are put in such a way that you find yourself in an old carriage of the imperial train or in a tavern of Middle Ages. The building itself is designed in the form of a castle.
Quite an impressive place is the restaurant Jules Verne (29, Gogalya vulica). Be prepared that prices are also impressive. The things that deserve mentioning are the first floor terrace and impeccable service. The specialty is Indian cuisine. But don´t worry since the dishes are quite europeanized so there won´t be too much pepper. The helpings are not large that´s why we advise you not to come here too hungry.
One more prestigious restaurant is situated at the hotel Hermitage (7, Chkalava vulica). At the restaurant they serve draniki with salmon caviar (€4), caramelized cod (€4.5) and a wide range of grilled meat and fish (€10).
On the boardwalk you can spend time at the café Tashkent (21/1 Internatsianalnaya vulica). There are tables outdoors with the view to the river Mukhovets. As for food, here you´re offered to taste khachapuri and shish kebab.
Korova Grill Bar (73, Savietskaya vulica, 2 floor) opened two years ago, but locals are still crazy about it. A place with neat scandinavian interiors and craft beer. During the day you can have a nice steak, burger or mushroom potato. In the evening and at night there are parties: get a cocktail and dance. Not only local musicians, but also foreign ones are invited. The dresscode is kind of serious here, so choose your outfit carefully.
Chesnaya pinta (28, Karbyshava vulica) is a new place in town. All we need is beer! A pint for € 1.5–3.5 Try Irish Recipe. What happens in Coyote (14/1, Dzyarzhynskaha vulica) stays in Coyote. Live music, atmosphere, delicious fore hock, huge choice of whiskey and beer (from Guiness to Haagarden). Check the concerts schedule on their page.
Draft House (73, Savietskaya vulica). Beer, pizza and football. A perfect place for evening chilling with friends.
Disco bar LOFT (73, Savietskaya vulica) with corresponding interior designs is for those who don't enjoy night clubs. It's crowded even during the week, and after midnight real parties start. Despite the fact it's actually a bar, there're a huge choice of meals.
Gastropub Tuman (50, Piyanerskaya vulica). Another example of loft style: soft yellow light and comfortable tables. Good cocktail (from € 2.5) and beer menu. Here you can hit the waterpipe and dance to live music. It's open till 4 a.m.
Duner (68, Savietskaya vulica and 36, Mitskevicha vulica) is a bar that wakes up after midnight because all other places are already closed. It's open till 7 a.m. Perfect for electronic music lovers.
CITY CLUB that was popular with glamorous young people has been closed recently, that is why everyone heads for MATRIX bar (73, Savietskaya vulica) where you can try various cocktails and listen to DJs.
We won't tell you where Collin's store is, you surely have already seen a lot of mass market in other cities. But Brest has its own specialties, e.g. knitwear. Local companies produce lots of clothes, and even of some of it may seem boring, there are still pretty cool brands. Check out Lakbi (70/1, Savietskaya vulica).
Fashion Market offers excellent designer dresses, which are really popular among fashionistas from Minsk and Warsaw.
Street fashion enthuasists must check out PUFF Shop in Berestejsky Passazh on Savietskaya Street.
Buy also a pair of Brest socks by local producer (26, Mayakouskaha vulica). And try delicious Ideal chocolate.
Various souvenir and gift shops you'll easily find at Savietskaya or near the Fortress. But to get unique designer postcards or stickers head for Vazhniy Gus (in Paragraph chain).

Research Fellow
Imperial College London
Bacteria underpin natural ecosystems by decomposing organic matter, by recycling nutrients, and by acting as a food source for the rest of the food web. Using a combination of field studies and laboratory experiments, my research attempts to explain how changes to diverse communities of bacteria alter the surrounding ecosystem. Previously, I have shown that altering the biodiversity of bacterial communities alters the rate of decomposition, and that this pattern is contingent on the environmental conditions in which the bacteria evolved. Recently, I have begun to extend this line of research to a wide array of ecosystems, including UK soil and Arctic streams. Since bacteria are everywhere, there are many applications for this type of research. For example, my recent research has shown that antibiotic resistance in bacteria can be understood in the context of biodiversity and ecosystem functioning. Future research will focus, for example, on whether we can manipulate bacterial communities in order to enhance carbon storage.

Activists from RISE - Scotland's Left Alliance protested today at sites in Scotland owned by the Trump Organisation.
Protesters occupied the Trump International Hotel in Aberdeenshire, and picketed the Turnberry hotel and golf course in Ayrshire, which belong to potential Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
The protests come the day before a debate at Westminster on whether Trump should be barred from the UK in light of his inflammatory attacks against minority groups in America. The debate was triggered by a petition signed by nearly 600,000 people.
Commenting, a RISE spokesperson said:
"Donald Trump is currently one of the the world's most prominent racists.
"When he launched his presidential campaign in June, he described Mexican immigrants to the United States as 'drug dealers' and 'rapists' (1). Last month, he said that, if elected to the White House in November, he would temporarily ban all Muslims from travelling to America (2). He is, in addition, one of the leading figures in the so-called 'birther' movement, which contends, without any evidence, that President Barack Obama is not a natural born American citizen (3).
"Following the Scottish Government's decision to strip Trump of his 'Global Scot' status (4) - and in advance of the debate at Westminster tomorrow (Monday) on whether he should, in the future, be granted entry to the United Kingdom - RISE activists are expressing opposition to Trump's commercial presence in Scotland. "We did this because we are fully committed to confronting racism in all its forms, because we stand in solidarity with American minority groups targeted by Trump's rhetoric, and because we believe that Trump's association with Scotland is damaging to our country's national reputation.
"We aim today to disrupt, however briefly, Trump's ability to generate profit in Scotland that will then be spent on his campaign of racist demonisation and scapegoating in the US."
In Scotland, we are more aware than most of the bullying tactics Trump deploys when faced with public opposition. While building his controversial golf course at the Menie estate in Aberdeenshire - an ecologically unique stretch of land - he rode roughshod over the wishes of local residents, as well as the legitimate concerns of environmentalists (5).
"Donald Trump needs to know that he is not welcome in Scotland."

If your company is required to file the employee benefit plan form 5500 or 5500-EZ, and receives a notice of a proposed penalty, be sure to respond to the notice within 30 days.
When a Form 5500 or 5500-EZ is received and processed by the Department of Labor (DOL) and exceptions to the filing are found, the DOL generally sends two letters requesting any missing information or addressing a late-filed return. If there is no response to either of these letters, the return is processed as is and the information is given to the IRS. At this point, incomplete or late-filed Forms will generate a CP 213 Notice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).
The CP 213 Notice is a "last chance" letter containing a proposed penalty amount due to the late-filed or incomplete Form 5500 or 5500-EZ submission, before the account is turned over for collection activity. The proposed penalty listed in the letter will be assessed unless the IRS receives written correspondence that includes a copy of the notice, any supporting documents, evidence that the return was timely filed or a reasonable cause statement or evidence that the return was corrected with an amended return. Penalties under the CP 213 Notice can be $25 per day, up to a maximum of $15,000 assessed by the IRS and up to $1,100 per day, with no maximum penalty, assessed by the DOL.
Even if the notice was sent in error, you have 30 days to respond to the notice, starting from the date the notice was issued. This is your best opportunity to set the record straight. Otherwise, the penalty will be assessed. Your accounting professional can assist you with the response to the notice. However, if you choose to handle the correspondence yourself, be sure to send your response by certified mail or a traceable private delivery service.

This post is full of pictures! It includes some photos from the photo booth, what to wear, how to do 1920s hair, and what food & drink we made for the potluck. Click here to read Speakeasy Party: Part One
Don't you love Pinterest? That's how I got most of the ideas for this party. I bought some poster board and dowels and ended up making all the props and moon and stars myself. But you can buy the set of props above from Etsy! The favorite prop of our guests, though, ended up being Neville. :)
I set up my Macbook Pro with Photo Booth so people could take their own photos. While we did take a handful of those, we ended up having a party-wide photo op, and took turns taking photos with the nicer cameras. Here's a sampling from the ones off my camera, photoshopped into a 1920s rich black and white:
1920s Dress
Captain wore the suit he bought for our honeymoon cruise. Men are pretty easy, if you ask me. Suit, suspenders or vest, tie, fedora, those caps I call "cabbie hats." (I just looked online, and that's actually what they are called! I'm so proud.)
Women could wear flapper dresses or little black dresses (introduced in the 20s by Coco Chanel). But good luck trying to find maternity dresses from the 1920s. They looked like this:
Creamy colors work best for daytime 1920s parties, and blacks and reds work well for late night parties. But pretty much any color is game—it's the silhouette that's important. Nothing you need to be sewn into. Dropped waists or no waists for the non-pregnant folk.
I grabbed the only dress from Savers that I could find that would 1) fit my bulbous form flatteringly and 2) had some Art Deco lines to it. It had holes along the top seams, so I got it marked down from $10 to $6. I bought matching thread for $1 and sewed up the holes. Call me Sherlock Holmes, but I'm pretty sure the person who owned the dress before me was a student. The seams were worn down where a backpack would create enough friction to tear them.
As for hair, I looked up a ton of YouTube videos, and I think this one is the best one:
She also has a more classic finger waves style (wet hair) and a 1930s hair tutorial. You can check those out here.
I'm pretty sure the back of my head was a disaster. I was afraid to look, so I never did. The finger waves I had to redo so many times. The gel I used wasn't meant for this type of thing, and the waves kept falling out no matter how much gel I added, so I ended up using long, thin bobby pins to hold the finger waves in place. I waited for the rest of my hair to dry, then curled the ends with an iron and rolled into pin curls as shown in the video. Then I let dry, sprayed exorbitant amount of hair spray, and let it just sit on my head for an hour or two before removing all the pins and combing through the hair with my fingers.
Here's what it looked like by the end of the night:
As for accessories, I ditched my glasses during the party and donned a string of fake pearls. The headband I created myself. Walmart has a "make your own headband" sort of station in the craft section with a bunch of flowers and accessories, stretchy headbands and the clampy kind of headbands (yeah, I don't know what to call them. The classic kind of headband, shaped like a U). I got the flower there, found an ivory ribbon with plenty of texture, and hot glued the ribbon onto a headband I already had.
I kind of forgot about makeup in the rush of getting food together, so I just used eyeliner. But there are plenty of YouTube videos on the subject.
This was a potluck shindig to save some money. We made hot dogs in the crock pot for the main meal (throw in as many as you need, without water, and cook on low for 4 hours).
Also creamy mints:
and homemade lollipops with gold sprinkles:
And my grandmother's recipe for punch:
Mix together 48 oz EACH of apple, orange, and pineapple juice (frozen concentrate is fine, but add water, obviously). Right before serving, add a 64 oz bottle of ginger ale.
This punch is amazing and super easy. I don't even like punch much, but this is gooood.
I was going to make a virgin pina colada for myself, but ran out of time. Friends brought drinks to share as well.
That's about it! It was a grand party, and we had a ton of fun.

We propose and analyze new policies for the traveling salesman problem in a dynamic and stochastic environment (DTSP). The DTSP is defined as follows: demands for service arrive in time according to a Poisson process, are independent and uniformly distributed in a Euclidean region of bounded area, and the time service is zero; the objective is to reduce the time the
server takes to visit to all the present demands for the first time. We start by analyzing the nearest neighbour (NN) policy since it has the best performance for the dynamic vehicle routing problem (DTRP), a closely related problem to the DTSP. We next introduce the random start policy whose efficiency is similar to that of the NN, and we observe that when the random start policy is delayed, it behaves like the DTRP with the NN policy. Finally, we introduce the partitioning policy, and show that, relative to other policies, it reduces the expected time that demands are swept from the region for the first time.

Isolation is not good for me
Isolation – I don't want to sit on a lemon tree.
Only being at home at some weekends cut the contact to my friends unfortunatelly down. But it also helped me to focus on how to keep up my friendships. By now it's okay for me to not hear something from my closest friends for a month or even more. You might think this weird, but that's how it works between us. It's not important to have them always around. Nevertheless if we need to talk to someone or just need them around they will be there.
I called my series junkie in the beginning of this month – I haven't talked to her for 5 month, only text messaging – still it felt like we picked up a conversation of the day before. Another friend visited me on the third Advent weekend and we talked and laughed a lot, but also gave in to more sincere topics. One of them led to a nearly three hour phone call starting at 2 am with friend in January for I thought the whole day about it and wanted an answer – and missed the way we could talked a few years ago.
Yes, isolation is not good for me as Fool's Garden says in "Lemon Tree". I start to think and reflect, examining nuances of situations. I came always to the same conclusion: I just miss them and can't wait to have them around again, especially because they now all move closer to our hometown again. Or to say it with the words I found on a postcard today
We always be friends – you know too much.

a) The assessee sold a land and claimed the same to be an agricultural land not being a capital asset within the meaning of section 2(14) of the Income-tax Act ('Act').
b) The Assessing Officer (AO) opined that since the land was situated near a highway, it could not be considered as an agricultural land. Therefore, assessee was liable to pay tax on capital gain arising from sale of such land.
c) CIT(A) reversed the order of the AO. Aggrieved by the order of the CIT(A), revenue filed the instant appeal before the tribunal.
The tribunal held in favour of assessee as under-
1) The term 'agricultural land' is not expressly defined under the Act. In the case of CWT v. Officer-in-Charge (Court of Wards) [1976] 105 ITR 133 (SC), the Supreme Court held that the agricultural land must be a land which could be said to be either actually used or ordinarily used or meant to be used for agricultural purpose.
3) The nearness of the land to highway could not alter the character of the land if agricultural operations were carried out by the assessee on such land.
4) Thus, the land in question could not be treated as capital asset under section 2(14) of the Act. Accordingly, capital gain arising from sale of such land couldn't be assessed to tax

Not A Single Vote/
In the vote for Florida State House District 11, Cory Byrd squared off against Walter Eugene Hayes.
To say the race wasn't even close, would have been a major understatement. Walter got not a single vote.
Not his family, not his friends and even Walter himself cast a single vote for himself.
What the hell?

Planning for the Aussie Curves metallic week started around here about the time that I used one of the only metal toned items I owned in the last Target post. I realised soon afterwards that this theme was coming up and I get a little stuck with what I might do. I don't own a lot of metal toned items. Even though I'd LOVE some rose gold toe capped shoes… BUT I had this chain link necklace with three tone metal from the clothes swap in November and figured I'd build something around that.
Then I got sick. And tired. And sick and tired.
So for the first time in eons, I'm posting an outfit I put together specifically for the theme, wore for 5 minutes and took off. Before crawling back into bed, obviously. The necklace is still in but no longer the focus and I'm really happy with the result, I even look awake and like I'm set for a night out with the girls that involves a casual dinner and lots of drinks. Casual cool. I mean sparkle, silver sequins leggings, how could I not!?
These sequins leggings from ASOS Curve are on loan to me from Nat, are a size 22 and are for sale for $20 + postage if you'd like them. I have the pictures without the black and white filter if you want the colour details etc, just email me. The black and white analogue film filter is in use as a distraction so you won't notice I'm dying a little. Filter win.
So yes! Metallic week. Not so smooth but still has turned out quite well, I think. Metallic is such a versatile and trendy item that you can make just about any outfit look modern and on trend using it. I see and hear a lot about rose gold at the moment {still} and for me, I can't go past silver. So choose your metal and layer it on and congratulate yourself for being such a cool kid.
That's about it from me. I'm going back to bed.
Top – Avella for BigW
Sequin Leggings – ASOS Curve
Boots – Target {gifted}
Chain Link Necklace – Unknown {swapped}
Do you wear metallics? You should, they're fun!

The UK Oracle User Group (UKOUG) has launched a service to help young people find a job and for businesses to recruit apprentices and graduates.
The initiative is part the user group's drive to attract more young members into the community.
Apprentices and graduates will be able to submit their CVs for free on a dedicated part of the UKOUG website, which will be a central resource for member employers to find new recruits. Employers will be able to access CVs at a cost of £375 for six months.
The service is being launched alongside teaching days that the user group is running in conjunction with Birmingham City University, the University of Cambridge and Durham University in May.
"We're inviting local students in for a day of 'what's Oracle about'. We are targeting graduates and apprentices, to teach them about the Oracle community, and about working with Oracle, not necessarily at Oracle," said UKOUG members advocate, Debra Lilley.
In addition, UKOUG has launched an introductory 'new start' membership for people in the first two years of leaving education. This will allow young members who have yet to specialise in a certain Oracle technology to access support and information across a wider range of interests.
The user group also wants to encourage more women into the industry by raising the profile of female IT workers.
To this end, UKOUG is encouraging more of its female members to speak at conferences, assigning them female mentors to help them put together presentations and provide other support.
It is also asking women to go into local schools to engage with children to entice them into an IT career, and it has set up a website for women - not just UKOUG members - to write about their experiences and backgrounds to showcase the different careers available to women in IT.
The UKOUG was established 30 years ago and has more than 8,500 members. It uses its collective force to act as a single, independent voice to influence and improve the design, functionality and technology of Oracle products.
As well as being part of a supportive community, member benefits include training discounts and access to numerous knowledge-sharing and networking events throughout the year.
