National Center for Biotechnology Information Potential False-Positive Rate Among the 'Asymptomatic Infected Individuals' in Close Contacts of COVID-19 Patients Results: When the infection rate of the close contacts and the sensitivity and specificity of reported results were taken as the point estimates, the positive predictive value of the active screening was only 19.67%, in contrast, the false-positive rate of positive results was 80.33%. The multivariate-probabilistic sensitivity analysis results supported the base-case findings, with a 75% probability for the false-positive rate of positive results over 47%. Conclusions: In the close contacts of COVID-19 patients, nearly half or even more of the 'asymptomatic infected individuals' reported in the active nucleic acid test screening might be false positives. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32133832/?fbclid=IwAR1x58i9MUS16isOtdzAOJHr1TZNpVz4kw-6S5mtyRG_MUg3XVK_RajavAI
Event 201 The Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security in partnership with the World Economic Forum and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation hosted Event 201, a high-level pandemic exercise on October 18, 2019, in New York, NY. The exercise illustrated areas where public/private partnerships will be necessary during the response to a severe pandemic in order to diminish large-scale economic and societal consequences. http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/index.html The Event 201 scenario Event 201 simulates an outbreak of a novel zoonotic coronavirus transmitted from bats to pigs to people that eventually becomes efficiently transmissible from person to person, leading to a severe pandemic. The pathogen and the disease it causes are modeled largely on SARS, but it is more transmissible in the community setting by people with mild symptoms. The disease starts in pig farms in Brazil, quietly and slowly at first, but then it starts to spread more rapidly in healthcare settings. When it starts to spread efficiently from person to person in the low-income, densely packed neighborhoods of some of the megacities in South America, the epidemic explodes. It is first exported by air travel to Portugal, the United States, and China and then to many other countries. Although at first some countries are able to control it, it continues to spread and be reintroduced, and eventually no country can maintain control. http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/scenario.html Statement about nCoV and our pandemic exercise In October 2019, the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security hosted a pandemic tabletop exercise called Event 201 with partners, the World Economic Forum and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Recently, the Center for Health Security has received questions about whether that pandemic exercise predicted the current novel coronavirus outbreak in China. To be clear, the Center for Health Security and partners did not make a prediction during our tabletop exercise. For the scenario, we modeled a fictional coronavirus pandemic, but we explicitly stated that it was not a prediction. Instead, the exercise served to highlight preparedness and response challenges that would likely arise in a very severe pandemic. We are not now predicting that the nCoV-2019 outbreak will kill 65 million people. Although our tabletop exercise included a mock novel coronavirus, the inputs we used for modeling the potential impact of that fictional virus are not similar to nCoV-2019. http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/newsroom/center-news/2020-01-24-Statement-of-Clarification-Event201.html http://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/event201-resources/CAPS-fact-sheet-191009.pdf
Moderna's Work on a Potential Vaccine Against COVID-19 (mRNA-1273) Notable about the Fauci-Gates Moderna coronavirus vaccine, mRNA-1273, is that it has been rolled out in a matter of weeks, not years, and on February 24 went directly to Fauci's NIH for tests on human guinea pigs, not on mice as normal. Moderna's chief medical adviser, Tal Zaks, argued, "I don't think proving this in an animal model is on the critical path to getting this to a clinical trial." Another notable admission by Moderna on its website is the legal disclaimer, "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements: …These risks, uncertainties, and other factors include, among others: … the fact that there has never been a commercial product utilizing mRNA technology approved for use." In other words, completely unproven for human health and safety.

Wonderful, I love using it,,
Très bon prix....envoie rapide...
We have every type of carrier under the sun in our house. Simone (10 weeks) loves her boba carrier the best. It gives her the freedom to wiggle a little and me the peace of mind that she's secure. Which means less contortions for Mama. We love it!!!
32 years ago, I bought a Snuggli - the "great, great grandparent" of the Boba baby carrier. I loved my Snuggli then and I love my Boba now. It's sheer magic how it transforms a fussy baby into a calm, happy baby.
Ignore the criticism of those who are jealous that they never used a baby carrier. This is the most magical time for mom's and grandmoms, like me. I bought my Boba to carry my grandson as often and as long as I can. Thank you, Boba for creating a well-made and attractive infant carrier. Well worth it at any price!!!
I own many different brands and styles of carriers but I believe my Boba is my favorite. It's so comfortable and the straps and weight will allow for my child to be carried much longer than with either of my Ergos. ♥

On the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in Germany last month, President Donald Trump's advisers discussed how to respond to a new revelation that Trump's oldest son had met with a Russian lawyer during the 2016 campaign - a disclosure the advisers knew carried political and potentially legal peril.
The strategy, the advisers agreed, should be for Donald Trump Jr. to release a statement to get ahead of the story. They wanted to be truthful, so their account couldn't be repudiated later if the full details emerged.
But within hours, at the president's direction, the plan changed.
Flying home from Germany on July 8 aboard Air Force One, Trump personally dictated a statement in which Trump Jr. said he and the Russian lawyer had "primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children" when they met in June 2016, according to multiple people with knowledge of the deliberations. The statement, issued to the New York Times as it prepared a story, emphasized that the subject of the meeting was "not a campaign issue at the time."
The claims were later shown to be misleading.
Over the next three days, multiple accounts of the meeting were provided to the media as public pressure mounted, with Trump Jr. ultimately acknowledging that he had accepted the meeting after receiving an email promising damaging information about Hillary Clinton as part of a Russian government effort to help his father's campaign.
The extent of the president's personal intervention in his son's response, the details of which have not previously been reported, adds to a series of actions that Trump has taken that some advisers fear could place him and some members of his inner circle in legal jeopardy.
As special counsel Robert Mueller investigates potential obstruction of justice as part of his broader probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election, these advisers worry that the president's direct involvement leaves him needlessly vulnerable to allegations of a coverup.
"This was ... unnecessary," said one of the president's advisers, who like most other people interviewed for this story spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations. "Now someone can claim he's the one who attempted to mislead. Somebody can argue the president is saying he doesn't want you to say the whole truth."
Trump has already come under criticism for steps he has taken to challenge and undercut the Russia probe.
He fired FBI Director James Comey on May 9 after a private meeting in which Comey said the president asked him if he could end the investigation of ousted national security adviser Michael Flynn.
Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats told associates that Trump asked him in March if he could intervene with Comey to get the bureau to back off its focus on Flynn. In addition, Trump has repeatedly criticized Attorney General Jeff Sessions for recusing himself from overseeing the FBI's Russian investigation — a decision that was one factor leading to the appointment of Mueller. And he has privately discussed his power to issue pardons, including for himself, and explored potential avenues for undercutting Mueller's work.
Although misleading the public or the press is not a crime, advisers to Trump and his family told The Washington Post that they fear any indication that Trump was seeking to hide information about contacts between his campaign and Russians almost inevitably would draw additional scrutiny from Mueller.
Trump, they say, is increasingly acting as his own lawyer, strategist and publicist, often disregarding the recommendations of the professionals he has hired.
"He refuses to sit still," the presidential adviser said. "He doesn't think he's in any legal jeopardy, so he really views this as a political problem he is going to solve by himself."

Donald Trump raised eyebrows throughout the presidential campaign with his praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin, even saying he was more of a leader than President Barack Obama during a national security forum. At the third presidential debate, Hillary Clinton called Trump Putin's "puppet," to which Trump fired back, "you're the puppet." After the election, U.S. intelligence officials presented Trump with unsubstantiated claims that Russia had amassed compromising personal and financial allegations about him. Trump's decision not to release his taxes also has left questions about possible financial ties that he and his company may have with Russian oligarchs. On May 9, 2017, Trump abruptly fired FBI Director James Comey, who was leading the counterintelligence investigation into Russia's effort to sway the 2016 U.S. presidential election. Trump initially said the firing was necessary to restore "public trust and confidence" in the FBI. A few days later, he told NBC he was thinking of "this Russia thing" when deciding to fire Comey. According to White House officials, Trump's anger with James Comey had been boiling over for weeks over Comey's Congressional testimonies concerning the Russia investigation, sources said. Comey's prepared remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee described Trump seeking his "loyalty" and asking him to help "lift the cloud" of the Russia investigation. As the Russia investigation gained steam, Trump railed against the media, calling for investigation of "Fake News Networks." He also called for investigation of Hillary Clinton and Democrats for their involvement in funding research that led to the highly publicized "dossier." Trump's demands that the Justice Department and FBI investigate his political opponents drew criticism as a breach of political boundaries.(Nicholas Kamm / Getty-AFP)
Former FBI director Robert Mueller was appointed by the Justice Department as special counsel to lead an investigation into the ties between the Trump campaign and Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Mueller's appointment earned bipartisan praise from Congress. Muller took over a separate criminal probe involving former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort, and looked at expanding his inquiry to investigate the roles of the attorney general and deputy attorney general in the firing of FBI Director James Comey, The Associated Press reported. Mueller recruited Justice Department deputy solicitor general Michael Dreeben, one of the top criminal law specialists, to assist in the investigation. His office cast a broad net, requesting records and email correspondence from the White House that span 13 categories identified as critical to their probe. On Oct. 30, Mueller's investigation entered a new phase, bringing charges against former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manfort and two other aides, Rick Gates and George Papadopoulos. Also in fall 2017, Mueller reached a plea deal with former Trump National Security Adviser Michael Flynn. Flynn pled guilty to a single count of lying to the FBI in exchange for his cooperation as a witness. In February 2018, Mueller brought a federal indictment against 13 Russians for meddling in the election through a social media trolling campaign. On Feb. 22, Mueller ratcheted up pressure on Manafort and Gates, filing new charges. The next day, Gates pled guilty, offering his cooperation in the probe.(Evan Vucci / AP)
Michael Flynn was a loyal Donald Trump supporter during the campaign, but his ties to Russia came to the forefront as he was named national security adviser. Flynn was paid in 2015 to attend a gala dinner for the television network Russia Today, where he sat next to Vladimir Putin. Flynn resigned as President Trump's national security adviser Feb. 13, 2017, after reports that he misled White House colleagues, including Vice President Mke Pence, about conversations he had with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak. Flynn had initially said that he did not discuss sanctions with Kislyak, but later conceded that the issue may have come up. Flynn also had denied to FBI agents in an interview in January that he discussed U.S. sanctions against Russia, contradicting communications captured by U.S. intelligence agencies. In March, Flynn offered to cooperate with congressional investigators in exchange for immunity from prosecution. In May, McClatchy news service reported that when Flynn was still national security adviser, he blocked a military plan against the Islamic State that was opposed by Turkey. Flynn had not disclosed that he had been paid more than $500,000 to lobby on behalf of Turkey. Late in May, Flynn agreed to provide documents to the Senate intelligence committee. Flynn had previously invoked his Fifth Amendment rights in declining an earlier subpoena. In September, those familiar with the probe revealed that the lobbying activities of Flynn's son, Michael G. Flynn, were being examined by the special counsel. Flynn reached a plea deal with investigators, pleading guilty on Dec. 1 to a single count of lying to the FBI. In exchange, Flynn agreed to share what he knows with investigators.(Carolyn Kaster / AP)
Paul Manafort served as campaign chairman for Donald Trump, taking primary control when campaign manager Corey Lewandowski was fired in June 2016. Two months later, Manafort would be ousted when emails obtained by The Associated Press shed new light on the activities of his lobbying firm. They show it directly orchestrated a covert Washington lobbying operation on behalf of Ukraine's ruling political party, attempting to sway American public opinion in favor of the country's pro-Russian government. Manafort and his deputy, Rick Gates, never disclosed their work as foreign agents as required under federal law. In February 2017, the New York Times reported that Manafort had repeated contacts with Russian intelligence officials during the year before the election. In March 2017, the Associated Press reported that Manafort secretly worked for Russian billionaire Oleg Deripaska to advance the interest of Russian President Vladmir Putin a decade ago, contradicting assertions from the Trump campaign. More recently, U.S. Treasury agents were reported to be investigating Manafort's banking transactions in the Mediterranean island nation of Cyprus, once known as a haven for money laundering by Russian billionaires. On June 2, The Associated Press reported that Robert Mueller, appointed as special counsel in the Russia investigation, had taken over the Justice Department's separate criminal investigation into Manafort. On Oct. 30, Manafort and Gates were indicted on a total of 12 counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering in a financial scheme that ran from 2006 to 2017. Both pleaded not guilty to the charges. On Feb. 22, 2018, a new 32-count indictment was filed against Manafort and Gates. Gates pled guilty the next day. Manafort continues to fight the charges.(Drew Angerer / Getty Images)
Rick Gates is a political consultant and lobbyist with longtime ties to Paul Manafort and served as his deputy when Manafort became campaign manager for Donald Trump. Gates remained with the campaign after Manafort was forced out. He has been seen inside the White House on a number of occasions, helped plan Trump's inauguration and was involved in a nonprofit organization, America First Policies, to back the White House agenda. On Oct. 31, Gates and Manafort were indicted on a total of 12 counts of fraud, conspiracy and money laundering in a financial scheme that ran from 2006 to 2017. Both pleaded not guilty to the charges. On Feb. 22, Gates and Manafort were hit with a new 32-count indictment. The next day, Gates pleaded guilty to federal conspiracy and false-statements charges, switching from defendant to cooperating witness in the special counsel's probe of Trump's campaign and Russia's election interference.(Alex Brandon / AP)
This undated image posted on his Linkedin profile shows George Papadopoulos posing on a street of London. Former Trump campaign aide, George Papadopoulos, pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about his Kremlin-related contacts, and more specifically on a Moscow-linked professor who was offering "dirt" on Trump's election rival Hillary Clinton. In March 2018, Papadopoulos married his sweetheart, Italian attorney Simona Mangiante, in Chicago. Read the indictment against Papadopoulos.(AFP/Getty Images)
Jeff Sessions became the first sitting U.S. senator to endorse Donald Trump, declaring his support in the early months of the primary on Feb. 28, 2016. After the election, Trump went on to nominate Sessions as attorney general. Sessions was narrowly confirmed after a contentious confirmation hearing that would echo in the weeks to come. Sessions said he would recuse himself from any investigations related to the 2016 presidential campaign after reports that he twice met with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak during the campaign. He failed to disclose the meetings to the Senate Judiciary Committee during his confirmation hearing in January. In May, reports came out that Sessions did not reveal the meetings when he applied for his security clearance. Sessions' role in the firing of FBI Director James Comey could be brought into the investigation being conducted by Robert Mueller, who was appointed special counsel by the Justice Department. In July, Trump blasted Sessions for recusing himself from the Russia investigation, saying he would not have appointed him attorney general if he knew Sessions would step aside. At a Senate hearing in October, Sessions frustrated Democrats by refusing to say what Trump told him before Comey's firing. During late 2017 and early 2018, Sessions continued to be the target of his president's attacks over his handling of the Department of Justice.(Mark Wilson / Getty Images)
James Comey was appointed FBI director in September 2013 by President Barack Obama. He drew widespread criticism from his handling of the Hillary Clinton email controversy – from Republicans for exonerating her criminally and from Democrats for his unusual public statements during the campaign. On May 3, 2017, Comey testified on Capital Hill that he'd felt "mildly nauseous" to think he might have tipped the results of the election, but said he would make the same decision. Comey was dismissed as FBI director by President Donald Trump on May 9, 2017, releasing a memo criticizing his handling of the Clinton investigation. In an interview later that week with NBC's Lester Holt, Trump said he was thinking of "this Russia thing" when he decided to fire Comey. A week later, reporting revealed private notes Comey had taken after meeting with Trump that described Trump asking the FBI to drop its probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn. In advance of his June 8, 2017 testimony before the Senate intelligence committee, Comey's prepared testimony was released, stating that Trump repeatedly pressed him for his "loyalty" and asked his help to "lift the cloud" of the Russia investigation.(Jim Watson / AFP/Getty Images)
Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe took over as acting director of the agency after Donald Trump fired James Comey as FBI director. At a Senate hearing in May, McCabe rejected the Trump White House's characterization of the Russian meddling probe as a low priority and delivered a passionate defense of Comey. McCabe became the target of attacks by Trump and his allies. House Democrats and Republicans clashed over testimony he made before the House Intelligence Committee. A conversation McCabe had with Trump where Trump asked him who he voted for is of interest to Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Under fire from the White House, McCabe announced that he would retire from the FBI in March, but Attorney General Jeff Sessions fired him before he could retire with his pension.(Jim Watson / AFP / Getty Images)
Russia's ambassador to the U.S., Sergey Kislyak, has found himself in the spotlight after details emerged of contacts he had with Donald Trump's campaign team. Among those meeting or talking with Kislyak were then-U.S. Sen. Jeff Sessions, who advised the Trump campaign on foreign affairs, and Michael Flynn, then Trump's incoming national security adviser. A White House official said President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner also met with Kislyak in December. In July, Kislyak met with Trump advisers Carter Page and J.D. Gordon after a Republican convention-related event at Case Western Reserve University. Kislyak reported to his superiors in Moscow that during the presidential transition, Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner attempted to set up a secret communications channel between the transition and the Kremlin. Kislyak and Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov met with Trump in the Oval Office in May. Later, it was revealed that Trump revealed highly classified intelligence about the Islamic State during the meeting.(Cliff Owen / AP)
Christopher Steele, a former British intelligence officer, emerged with reports of an explosive and unproven dossier he compiled on Donald Trump's purported activities in Russia before he was elected president. Intelligence officials believed the sources were credible enough to warrant inclusion of their claims in a report on Russian interference in the presidential campaign. Both President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump were briefed on the contents of the dossier. After going into hiding in January, Steele has returned to work and spoke to the media for the first time on March 7, 2017, in London. In January 2018, the transcript of Fusion GPS co-founder Glenn Simpson's interview with the Senate Judiciary Committee was released by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, Calif., shedding more light on Steele's work on the dossier.(Victoria Jones / AP)
President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is married to Ivanka Trump, has become one of the president's most trusted advisers and has been tasked with diplomatic missions along with an extensive policy agenda. The White House has confirmed that Kushner attended a meeting between Michael Flynn and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak at Trump Tower in December. The White House termed the discussion as merely a "courtesy meeting." Kushner volunteered to be interviewed by the Senate Intelligence Committee as part of its investigation into the links between the Trump campaign and Russian officials. FBI investigators were also focusing on Kushner's meetings with Kislyak and Sergey Gorkov, the head of Vnesheconombank, which has been the subject of U.S. sanctions. In May, reports emerged that during the transition, Kushner discussed the possibility of setting up a secret communications channel between the Trump transition and the Kremlin. In July, reports revealed that investigators were looking at the Trump campaign's digital operation, overseen by Kushner. Under scrutiny is the question of whether the campaign pointed Russian cyber operatives to key states or assisted in the release of hacked emails. Revelations about Kushner's Russia contacts dribbled out for months, forcing Kushner and other Trump aides who denied or downplayed them to repeatedly backtrack. Finally, Kushner had his security clearance downgraded Feb. 23, sharply limiting his access to some of the nation's most sensitive secrets(Andrew Harrer / Pool / Getty Images)
Former White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was first a cheerleader of the Trump campaign as executive chairman of the right-wing Breitbart News. In August 2016, Bannon was chosen to lead the Trump campaign. After Trump's victory, Bannon was named a top White House aide. Bannon left the White House in August 2017 after a tumultuous time that was partially documented in Michael Wolff's book "Fire and Fury." Bannon was subpoenaed by Special Counsel Robert Mueller in January 2018 to testify before the grand jury. In February, Bannon was interrogated for 20 hours by Mueller's investigators. Meanwhile, members of the House intelligence committee were frustrated that Bannon declined to answer some of lawmakers' questions, despite a subpoena.(Philippe Huguen / AFP / Getty Images)
Donald Trump Jr. is interviewed by host Sean Hannity on his Fox News Channel television program, in New York Tuesday, July 11, 2017 after revelations emerged about a meeting he had during the presidential campaign. President Donald Trump's eldest son eagerly accepted help from what was described to him as a Russian government effort to aid his father's campaign with damaging information about Hillary Clinton, according to emails he released publicly. The Senate Judiciary Committee later announced that former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort and Trump Jr., had agreed to turn over documents and speak to panel members behind closed doors as part of its ongoing probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. The Russian lawyer who met with Trump Jr., Natalia Veselnitskaya, later said he indicated the Magnitsky law that punished Russian officials could be re-examined if his father won the election.(Richard Drew / AP)
In this July 11, 2017, photo, Natalia Veselnitskaya speaks to journalists in Moscow, Russia. The Russian lawyer at the center of the June 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr. is known for her work trying to roll back U.S. sanctions on Russia. But Veselnitskaya was on the radar of American officials long before revelations about the meeting emerged. Government and legal documents show officials have tried to seize her emails and at times denied her entry into the U.S. Veselnitskaya said she met with Trump Jr. to press her client's interest in the Magnitsky Act, a wide-ranging Russian sanctions bill. Veselnitskaya later said said she's ready to testify before the U.S. Senate and "clarify the situation behind this mass hysteria."(Alexander Zemlianichenko / AP)

Nader, a Lebanese-American businessman convicted of sexually abusing minors and who served time in a Czech Republic prison more than a decade ago is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller.

Alex van der Zwaan leaves Federal District Court in Washington, Feb. 20, 2018. The attorney formally pleaded guilty to a single charge of making false statements. He admitted he lied to federal investigators working for special counsel Robert Mueller. The charge does not involve election meddling or relate to the Trump campaign's operations. It stems from a part of the special counsel's investigation into Paul Manafort, Trump's former campaign chair, and Rick Gates, a former campaign aide and longtime business associate of Manafort.(Susan Walsh / AP)
A longtime Republican political operative, Roger Stone was a political consultant and adviser to the Trump campaign before leaving his official capacity in August 2015. He drew attention for seeming to have inside knowledge on the Wikileaks document releases of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta's emails. Stone admitted to the Washington Times that he had communicated via Twitter with "Guccifer 2.0," an online persona who had published emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee. Stone called the conversations "completely innocuous." Stone's online rant against CNN after their story on the first indictments in the Mueller probe got him banned from Twitter. In March 2018, two Stone associates said he claimed to have had contact with Assange in 2016. The second, former Trump adviser Sam Nunberg, said Stone told him that he had met with Assange - a conversation Nunberg said investigators for special counsel Robert S. Mueller III recently asked him to describe.(Michael Laughlin / Sun Sentinel)
Former Trump campaign aide Sam Nunberg leaves the U.S. District Courthouse on March 9, 2018 in Washington. Nunberg appeared before a grand jury as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe. Nunberg, who had previously been interviewed by Mueller's investigators, was subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury. That prompted a day of cable news interviews where Nunberg said he would defy the subpoena. Nunberg eventually relented and spent more than six hours inside the federal courthouse in Washington. He declined to speak with journalists on the way in or out of the building, and it was not immediately clear what testimony he offered to the grand jury or what documents he provided.(Zach Gibson / Getty Images)
Carter Page, a former adviser to the Trump campaign, worked as an investment banker in Russia over a decade ago and has addressed Russian business groups there. The FBI and justice department obtained a warrant from a Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court judge to monitor Page's communications after finding probable cause that he was acting as an agent of a foreign power. Court filings revealed Page met with a Russian intelligence operative in 2013 and provided him documents about the energy industry. Page and another Trump adviser, J.D. Gordon, met with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak after a Republican convention-related event at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland. In November, Page acknowledged in testimony to Congress that he had contact with a high-level Russian official while on a trip to Russia in 2016.(Carter Page photo)
Peter W. Smith, a Republican donor and operative from Chicago's North Shore who said he had tried to obtain Hillary Clinton's missing emails from Russian hackers killed himself in a Minnesota hotel room days after talking to The Wall Street Journal about his efforts, public records show. Months later, both the U.S. Senate and House intelligence committees were examining Smith's activities and examinging documents from his estate.(Family photo)
Long before he was named secretary of state, Rex Tillerson, as CEO of ExxonMobil, established a relationship with Russia and Vladimir Putin through years of deal-making. In 2013, Putin awarded Tillerson the Order of Friendship. In 2014, Tillerson had argued against sanctions that the U.S. and European allies had imposed on Russia after the annexation of Crimea. In his confirmation hearing, Tillerson called Russia a "danger" to the U.S., but he would not call Putin a war criminal. In July, Tillerson said that during Trump's first face-to-face meeting with him, Putin denied election meddling and Trump said the two countries shoud find ways to move forward. Over time Tillerson developed a more hard-line posture toward Moscow than Trump. He appeared to break with the White House by singling out Russia as responsible for a poisoning attack in Great Britan. A short time later, Tillerson was fired as Secretary of State by Trump(Mandel Ngan / Getty-AFP)
Keith Schiller was the longtime bodyguard of Donald Trump who became deputy assistant to the president and director of Oval Office operations. He left the White House in September, frustrated by the limits that new chief of staff John Kelly set on access to the president, according to White House aides. The House Intelligence Committee called Schiller to appear for an interview about allegations in the 35-page dossier that Russian officials obtained compromising information about Trump's personal behavior when he visited Moscow for the 2013 Miss Universe pageant, according to people familiar with the investigation.(Drew Angerer / Getty Images)
Worth an estimated $2.9 billion, Wilbur Ross has extensive business ties around the globe. As part of his ethics agreement, Ross will divest from the private equity firm he founded. He was confirmed by the Senate after a confirmation hearing where senators from both political parties were largely deferential. Questions did, however, arise about his ownership of a bank on Cyprus that did business with wealthy Russians. In November 2017, newly leaked documents show that Ross had a stake in a company that does business with gas producer partly owned by Vladimir Putin's son-in-law Kirill Shamalov.(Aaron P. Bernstein / Getty Images)
Trump has said that the Russia probe is "the greatest witch hunt in political history," calling it an elaborate hoax created by Democrats to explain Clinton losing an election she should have won.
Because Trump believes he is innocent, some advisers explained, he therefore does not think he is at any legal risk for a coverup. In his mind, they said, there is nothing to conceal.
The White House directed all questions for this story to the president's legal team.
One of Trump's attorneys, Jay Sekulow, declined to discuss the specifics of the president's actions and his role in crafting his son's statement about the Russian contact. Sekulow issued a one-sentence statement in response to a list of detailed questions from The Washington Post.
"Apart from being of no consequence, the characterizations are misinformed, inaccurate, and not pertinent," Sekulow's statement read.
Trump Jr. did not respond to requests for comment. His lawyer, Alan Futerfas, told The Post that he and his client "were fully prepared and absolutely prepared to make a fulsome statement" about the meeting, what led up to it and what was discussed.
Asked about Trump intervening, Futerfas said, "I have no evidence to support that theory." He described the process of drafting a statement as "a communal situation that involved communications people and various lawyers."
Peter Zeidenberg, the deputy special prosecutor who investigated the George W. Bush administration's leak of CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity, said Mueller will have to dig into the crafting of Trump Jr.'s statement aboard Air Force One.
Prosecutors typically assume that any misleading statement is an effort to throw investigators off the track, Zeidenberg said.
"The thing that really strikes me about this is the stupidity of involving the president," Zeidenberg said. "They are still treating this like a family-run business and they have a PR problem. ... What they don't seem to understand is this is a criminal investigation involving all of them."
Advocating for transparencyThe debate about how to deal with the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting began weeks before any news organizations began to ask questions about it.
Kushner's legal team first learned about the meeting when doing research to respond to congressional requests for information. Congressional investigators wanted to know about any contacts the president's son-in-law and senior adviser had with Russian officials or business people.
Kushner's lawyers came across what they immediately recognized would eventually become a problematic story. A string of emails showed Kushner attended a meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower in the midst of the campaign — one he had failed to disclose. Trump Jr. had arranged it, and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort had also attended.
To compound what was, at best, a public relations fiasco, the emails, which had not yet surfaced publicly, showed Trump Jr. responding to the prospect of negative information on Clinton from Russia: "I love it."
Lawyers and advisers for Trump, his son and son-in-law gamed out various strategies for disclosing the information to try to minimize the fallout of these new links between the Trump family and Russia, according to people familiar with the deliberations.
Hope Hicks, the White House director of strategic communications and one of the president's most trusted and loyal aides, and Josh Raffel, a White House spokesman who works closely with Kushner and Ivanka Trump, huddled with Kushner's lawyers, and they advocated for a more transparent approach, according to people with knowledge of the conversations.
In one scenario, these people said, Kushner's team talked about sharing everything, including the contents of the emails, with a mainstream news organization.
Hicks and Raffel declined to comment. Kushner lawyer Abbe Lowell also declined to comment.
The president's outside legal team, led by Marc Kasowitz, had suggested that the details be given to Circa, an online news organization the Kasowitz team thought would be friendly to Trump. Circa had inquired in previous days about the meeting, according to people familiar with the discussions.
The president's legal team planned to cast the June 2016 meeting as a potential setup by Democratic operatives hoping to entrap Trump Jr. and, by extension, the presumptive Republican nominee, according to people familiar with discussions.
Kasowitz declined to comment for this article, as did a Circa spokesman.
Consensus overruled
Circumstances changed when the New York Times began asking about the Trump Tower meeting, though advisers believed the paper knew few of the details. While the president, Kushner and Ivanka Trump were attending the G-20 summit, the Times asked for White House comment on the impetus and reason for the meeting.
During breaks away from the summit, Kushner and Ivanka Trump gathered with Hicks and Raffel to discuss Kushner's response to the inquiry, according to people with knowledge of the discussions. Kushner's legal team joined at times by phone.
Hicks also spoke by phone with Trump Jr. Again, say people familiar with the conversations, Kushner's team concluded that the best strategy would be to err on the side of transparency, because they believed the complete story would eventually emerge.
The discussions among President Trump's advisers consumed much of the day, and continued as they prepared to board Air Force One that evening for the flight home.
But before everyone boarded the plane, Trump had overruled the consensus, according to people with knowledge of the events.
It remains unclear exactly how much the president knew at the time of the flight about Trump Jr.'s meeting.
The president directed that Trump Jr.'s statement to the Times describe the meeting as unimportant. He wanted the statement to say that the meeting had been initiated by the Russian lawyer and primarily was about her pet issue — the adoption of Russian children.
Air Force One took off from Germany shortly after 6 p.m., about noon in Washington. In a forward cabin, Trump was busy working on his son's statement, according to people with knowledge of events. The president dictated the statement to Hicks, who served as a go-between with Trump Jr., who was not on the plane, sharing edits between the two men, according to people with knowledge of the discussions.
In the early afternoon, Eastern time, Trump Jr.'s team put out the statement to the Times. It was four sentences long, describing the encounter as a "short, introductory meeting."
"We primarily discussed a program about the adoption of Russian children that was active and popular with American families years ago and was since ended by the Russian government, but it was not a campaign issue at the time and there was no follow up," the statement read.
Trump Jr. went on to say, "I was asked to attend the meeting by an acquaintance, but was not told the name of the person I would be meeting with beforehand."
Over the next hour, word spread through emails and calls to other Trump family advisers and lawyers about the statement that Trump Jr. had sent to The Times.
Some lawyers for the president and for Kushner were surprised and frustrated, advisers later learned. According to people briefed on the dispute, some lawyers tried to reach Futerfas and their clients and began asking why the president had been involved.
Also on the flight, Kushner worked with his team — including one of his lawyers, who called into the plane.
His lawyers have said that Kushner's initial omission of the meeting was an error, but that in an effort to be fully transparent, he had updated his government filing to include "this meeting with a Russian person, which he briefly attended at the request of his brother-in-law Donald Trump Jr." Kushner's legal team referred all questions about the meeting itself to Trump Jr.
The Times' story revealing the existence of the June 2016 meeting went online around 4 p.m. Eastern time. Roughly four hours later, Air Force One touched down at Joint Base Andrews. Trump's family members and advisers departed the plane, and they knew the problem they had once hoped to contain would soon grow bigger.
The Washington Post's Alice Crites contributed to this report.

I believe that it is impossible to win at the casino and you should not take that risk
I thought that online casinos are scammers and it is impossible to win money in this way. But then my friend advised me to check my luck at this online casino in Ghana and visit this site. I won $ 500 and now regularly bet on sports on this site https://1xbet-gh.org/ and play online casinos. I'm sure you can make money this way too)
I prefer to bet on sports. I recommend https://1xbetbd.com. Register and feel the advantage - the interface is convenient, all the necessary statistics are collected, the coefficients are higher than in other similar services, and money is withdrawn very quickly. I tried various bookmakers, but made my choice in favor of this.

EMBO practical course on Integrative Modelling of Biomolecular Interactions
11 - 15 May 2020
Izmir, TurkeyEMBO practical course on Integrative Modelling of Biomolecular Interactions http://meetings.embo.org/event/20-biomolecular-interactions https://tess.elixir-europe.org/events/embo-practical-course-on-integrative-modelling-of-biomolecular-interactions Proteins and their interactions are the mainstays of any cellular process. Studying these interactions at atomic detail is invaluable, paving the route to a mechanistic understanding of biological function and providing the first essential step towards the development of new drugs. Because of the costs and challenges associated with experimental techniques, structural biologists often turn to computational methods. This course will present docking-based computational methods and related bioinformatics approaches, aiming at predicting how proteins interact with other biomolecules or ligands. Lectures will provide the theoretical background on state-of-the-art algorithms for sampling and scoring docking models, describe the use of low- and high-resolution information, and conservation- and coevolution-based interface prediction methods. Further, to broaden the scope of the course beyond protein-protein interactions, we will cover protein-peptide docking, data-driven molecular simulations, and other relevant topics in the field, including modeling of large assemblies and membrane proteins. Roughly half of the course wil consist of practical sessions where the students will run computations on interesting biological problems. Finally, to encourage interaction between all participants and stimulate discussions, students will be prompted to present their own research, both in flash presentations and poster sessions, and bring their own research problems to dedicated troubleshooting sessions. 2020-05-11 09:00:00 UTC 2020-05-15 18:00:00 UTC Alexandre Bonvin, Ezgi Karaca and João Rodrigues Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center Dokuz Eylül University Health Campus Mithatpasa St. 58/5 35340 Balcova, Izmir/TURKEY, Izmir, Turkey Izmir Biomedicine and Genome Center Dokuz Eylül University Health Campus Mithatpasa St. 58/5 35340 Balcova, Izmir/TURKEY Izmir Balçova Turkey 35340 [] firstname.lastname@example.com BrukerF1000 ResearchBioExcelEMBO Press [] 24 workshops_and_courses [] Protein-Protein Complex modelingmodellingDockingInteractions

By Her Side
Some hearts were meant to be broken. Love was an over rated feeling that caused pain. Hearts were often captured so people could watch them shrivel up.
There was a boy who lead a girl on. He stole her heart with a knife he found. He waited until he knew she could bleed.
She was an unexpected victim. Throwing smiles in the garbage. Picking up lost toys.She had a lonely heart that lacked friends and real emotion.
One day she found the wandering boy that she could call her own. Little did she know he had other plans. He was ready to pounce. Yet, the girl did have one friend- Suzie. She brought her weapons. Never before had she seen such a cold heart. Wearing leg warmers and a scarf, it knew no boundaries. The heart was armed and ready to take Suzie to the grave.
With all his might, the boy tried to run, forgetfully releasing his stray heart.
The girl's heart sensed another. Together they were reunited.
Love could never be wasted, not even on worthless souls. There's always one.

A/N: Just a repost of chapter one. Amethyst, you can ignore this.
Chapter 1: Kinetic Art
Kinetic Art: noun
a form of art that depends on movement for its effect. The term was coined by artists Naum Gabo (1890–1977) and his brother Antoine Pevsner (1886–1962) in 1920 and is associated with the mobiles of artist Alexander Calder.
Darkness swathed the cavernous area save for a hidden corner where a lone sentient stood next to a work table. Most of the facial features was obscured by large safety goggles; the slim frame partially hidden as well by a leather garment that was liberally marked with arcane designs of mysterious origin. The humanoid carefully took another handful of the once sacred objects from the pile that had been set aside. (The handful was manipulated until their molecules were just touching the point of chaotic instability. This rendered them temporarily malleable for the project, but the method required some fast action before the vibrations dissipated or the result would fall apart once more and the plan avail him nothing. Not a problem if you were the Maestro of Mayhem. The Sultan of Scheming. The King of The Kinetic.)
Additional metal bits were quickly slapped into place, adding onto those already a part of his expanding masterpiece. The first step accomplished, the figure then tentatively chose a relatively unscathed ring from the pile---and after a bit of spit and polish---judged it of acceptable quality.
Yesssss..... Perfect for the final act of sealing together...the dead.
His work was almost done. Once completed it would capture the soul of it's target and render the victim...amiable to his whims.
Concentrating on the mystical power that imbued him, the goggled man held it before his eyes as lightning leaped from his fingertips, sending the energy dancing over the vital element. Barely tamed kinetic power moved over his whole frame. The mysterious artisan grinned like a shark under his hooded eyes; now starting the ancient chant that after much deliberation he'd deemed the most germane for this auspicious moment. It left his lips...first low and solemn, then with increasing fervor:
"One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them. One ring to bring them all...and in...the Dark Batz---bind them!"
With a melodramatic flourish, the rubber gasket ring was torn to shreds. Heat friction melted the pieces into the largest gaps between the various metals in order to adhere them together. Lightning darted around the entire finished product...then subsided to reveal--
The figure stepped back from the workshop table and raised two fists in triumph, his fiery hair still crackling with the remnants of Speed Force static as he let his head fall back to proclaim:
"It's alive! It's alive! IT'S ALIVE! MWAHAHAHAHAAA!"
"Is somebody down there?"
Drat! A quick grab and the results of all his labor went underneath a rather cool concealing tarp Wally had found stored on a rack in a glass case. The goggles ended up somewhere in the recesses of the cave. Evidence of foul play hidden away, he then waited with bated breath as a caped silhouette stepped into the light.
"Oh, it's just you then," spoke the shadowed new arrival. "Hey, Wally, Bruce and Alfred didn't tell me you were still allowed in here to work." A bored Timothy Drake--the latest in Batman's successive collection of Boy Wonders--slipped over to the table and made himself comfortable on the vacant workshop stool. He was in civilian wear--as the older hero was as well, yet of much better quality--but had a blanket draped around his shoulders and a snack in his hand. Tim gestured at his sometimes partner in crime's molten rubber and oil stained leather work apron with his partially eaten roll of fruit wrap. "I thought that after the Green Hornet caper you'd be spending the holidays in...I don't know...Atlantis or someplace else harder for Bruce to infiltrate."
"Yo, Tiny Tim," a patently relieved Wally attacked Robin's scalp with a noogie, grinning playfully at the shorter-than-average youth's scowl when the boy realized the speedster now had possession of his treat. "Never wave food at a speedster unless you're offering."
Tim huffed both at his friend's annoying nickname for him and at his penchant for stealing any food not already being digested. "I'll bear that in mind next time." His half-hearted grab for the fruit roll was--as expected--easily evaded.
"About time my ageless wisdom started bearing fruit from the Bat Clan," Wally chuckled as he downed the whole roll. "Darn good fruit too. What's on your mind, Short Stuff? Besides that Santa is likely to skip your house with that new video game he got you on account it's also harboring The Gotham Grinch and not even a plate of chocolate chip macaroons and a glass of iced mocha will entice the Jolly Elf down the chimney...any of the chimneys. Of course, I'd do the job for him as his deputized helper...assuming there was to be said such goodies left for Santa on the Chippendale breakfast table?" He waggled an eyebrow suggestively.
Tim rolled his eyes at Wally's idea of wit. "Nothing much. Bruce has grounded me until I start acting like a responsible adult---or he says you do---whichever comes first. As I'm now nearly twelve and a half, that translates to my being grounded for nearly another four years." He sighed. Four years was a sight better than waiting for Wally to grow up, but it was still...it was four years. The older hero frowned at the surrounding darkness as Tim peered at the items sitting on the table and the Bat-cape covered lump next to it. "What are you still doing with those parts and should I be worried?"
"Nothing heinous. What's with the fluffy security cape?" Tim pursed his lips a bit. He was used to Wally's teasing, but sometimes it got a bit tiresome.
"Unlike you, I'm not a walking space heater," he pointed out. "When I heard strange noises and decided to investigate, I also determined I didn't want to freeze to death so I grabbed this blanket." Tim pointed at the cape on the table. "Speaking of capes, isn't that one of Batman's spare ones that he keeps in a hermetical sealed storage container?
"It is," Tim grinned wickedly. "You're up to something. Tell me what it is or..." he left the threat hanging. The thing about shared culpability in criminal activity of a prank nature was that each had considerable dirt on the other. Tim waited expectantly, knowing that The Flash would eventually spill. The man just couldn't keep a non-classified secret--especially if he thought it was a particularly good one to share around.
Wally glanced to and fro like an elder sibling about to reveal the ultimate truth to his younger brother about why Superman wore his underwear on the outside and The Martian thought suspenders looked cool. "Well, seeing as I owe you one..."
"Five at last count." the Boy Wonder corrected.
"In your dreams, Timmy Tyke," Wally's mock snit was ruined by his wide grin. He yanked off the cape and proudly gestured at his very first attempt at the Beaux-arts. "Behold---feast your naive eyes on THE Christmas present for the Batz Who Has Everything!"
Tim stared at the mass of metal for a moment; slowly walking around it and considering the relatively smooth surface on one side versus the textured one of bolts and screws that adorned the other flank. He studied it from as many different angles as possible. The whole thing appeared to be keeping it's shape via some soft rubbery material. Finally he looked up with an expression of extreme confusion. Wally was smiling, waiting for the praise.
"You're giving Bruce a bust of Two Face made from the old Batmobile?"
Wally was a bit taken aback by Robin's inability to clearly see the resemblance of his sculpture to...to...
The fastest Founder blinked at his handiwork with a bit more of a jaundiced eye than he had at it's creation. Two Face menacingly grimaced back.
"Uh, not---really finished yet." He quickly vibrated more handfuls of metal screws and slapped them on in quick succession; melted another piece of rubber. If anything Tim's facial contortions betrayed even more bafflement as the bust seemed to instantly change to...
"A Picasso rendition of The Joker?" he asked, sounding doubtful.
The speedster bit his lip at the boy's rather valid guess. Unfortunately...
"Um...No. Hold on a sec." Okay, so great works of art take time even for The Flash. Bet David took old Michelangelo a whole day to perfect!
Tim watched as more blurred activity sent the smaller pile of metal further decreased in size while the head sculpture grew. Again, Wally stepped away from the table.
"Alfred never really got into teaching me about the industrial arts, but I suppose the door handle sort of looks like The Penguin's beak...I guess." Batman's sidekick shrugged noncommittally.
"Eh..nooo." Wally took a deep, calming breath and plunged in again. More friction welding at high speeds by The Fastest Sculptor Alive. "There!"
The artist took a half second to ponder if that would be...close enough? No. Nonono--definitely not! Blurred motions of arms on the fly as he went back to work with somewhat less bravado then he'd held before.. "A-a-and now?"
"Killer Croc?" Tim conjectured. "Wearing the Bat hood ornament as a nose ring?"
"Crap!" Metal was yet again rearranged and displayed for review. He was going to get it right this time or--!
"Wally, I think Bats is more likely to be a Harley Motorcycle enthusiast than a Quinn fan. Her hat sure looks lifelike though," Tim offered in way of consolation when he noticed the rapid eye tick The Flash had developed.
"ARGH!" Wally's scream of sheer frustration made Tim wonder if he should call Alfred down with the tranquilizer gun. Sudden induced sleep always seemed to work for the few times when Bruce finally blew a fuse after one of Wally's foibles drove him over the edge.
In a maniacal fury, the would-be Michelangelo used up the last of the remaining car parts then stepped away, panting heavily from his exertion.
Both Wally and Tim stared in mutual horror at the resulting bust the speedster's hands had wrought by sheer, diabolical, mischance:
The Batmite.
"Um...Wally, is this supposed to be some sort of demonic gag gift?" a hesitant Tim waveringly asked as he indicated this latest object of Flash Art de Monstruosité. "Because you know how Bruce feels about those kinds of presents that could potentially summon Ra Ghul."
With a dull look of defeat in his eye, the red head stretched out his vibrating arm and grasped the grinning grotesque he'd created. It collapsed back into it's heap of individual Busted Batmobile bits. His evil creation finally destroyed, Dr. Wallystein did his own bit of collapsing against the table's edge and considered that maybe an aptitude for the auto mechanical arts did not necessarily translate into a proficiency in the fine art of Christmas gift crafting.
"I thought I could at least do a nice bust for him."
Tim kept a wary eye on the heap of battered parts and melted rubber as if the lot might spring to malicious life again at any second and necessitate an emergency call to either Raven or Doctor Fate for an exorcism. He patted Wally on the back. "Well, on the bright side, that certainly was one hell of a bust. Anyway, at least it wasn't as bad as last year's gift. As I remember it, the 'dribble' from that glass you gave him shorted out his utility belt---locking him in it. You should have seen the size of the camouflaging cummerbund CEO Bruce Wayne had to wear with his tux to a board meeting that morning. Some drunk on the street even asked if he was pregnant."
After a moment, Wally could no longer hold back his amusement at that tale and laughed. He offered Tim a haughty imitation of the Wayne butler. " "I'll have you know that particular dribble glass was a one-of-the-kind commissioned piece."
His friend looked skeptical--always a safe stance to take where The Flash was concerned. "Who in the world would commission a single dribble glass made of cheap acrylic with a stem shaped like the internet's dancing banana?"
Wally shrugged. "Plastic Man for B'wanna Beast's birthday. Pity he's lousy at winning bets on video games with The Fastest Mario Kart Driver Alive." He looked speculative. "You know, I think I still have a set of those beauties somewhere...or did I already give them to Luthor's Presidential campaign secretary?"
"Um..." Tim scratched his head at the conundrum of this. "If it was a one-of-a-kind, how can you have a set of them?"
"Pint-Sized, don't go asking me about my sordid past dealings when it's my future that's looking dismal and depressingly shorter than you are."
If Tim didn't know that slurs like that were the speedster's way of showing honorary-familial affection, he'd have bopped him one. Instead he just asked, "Huh?"
With a whimpering moan, Wally perched himself onto the table and buried his face in his hands, "I'm a bit busy here having a pre-Christmas-no-gift-for-Batz-angst-filled panic attack."
Drake waited while Wally vibrated hard enough to nearly knock all the metal junk off the table. After a few moments of listening to rhythmic thuds, the speedster looked over to see that his friend was still staring at him with an air of tolerance even as the boy's feet abused the workshop chair. "Tim don't you have something better to do than goggle at the miserable Savior Of The Slow?"
"Not particularly," Tim continued to absently kick his feet against the legs of the stool. "If you can recall our conversation of...oh...ten minutes ago? What with the Black Beauty gag, I've been banned from the manor's entertainment center until even the state government acknowledges I'm old enough to drive my Robin Cycle without training wheels. Bruce said something to me about 'the less you know about pop culture, the less Wally can poison your mind with daft ideas.' So..." he crossed his arms "why don't you just buy him something?"
Wally glowered at him. "Because some of us have superior metabolisms."
"You mean The Speedster's Curse." Tim smirked knowingly. "Since you're reduced to nabbing my fruit roll and vying to gain Santa's bribes, I'd guess you're broke again."
"Right down to the wooden nickels and one Justice League Monopoly playing piece," a truly morose Wally agreed.
"Hey, maybe you can sell that?"
"I tried. It's of The Creeper and he already has a closet full of them."
The two sat in silence, trying to think of ideas.
"What about doing a painting? Something abstract should work even if you have no talent. Alfred says even a chimpanzee can pull off a decent abstract."
"I already tried that," Wally muttered. "The oil-based paints reacted to the extreme friction of my brush technique....and...well, it all got kind of colorful to say the least." And that didn't count the apartment manager's swear words.
Tim whistled. "Wow. Abstract wall art?"
"Oh yeah. Landlord kicked me out until I repaint everything. Which I can't..."
"Because you're broke," Tim finished.
"And the Batman detective legacy lives on."
"Well, if you don't have any dough and you suck at home-made crafts...guess Bruce just lucks out this year."
The depressed Flash suddenly straightened and snapped his fingers. "Tiny Tim...you are a genius."
Tim went still. "I think that is one of your phrases which Bruce told me to beware of."
The Flash ignored him. "I can't buy him anything and I can't sculpt worth a darn," Wally breathed out, "but I can still bake him a present!"
"But..." Tim felt duty bound to point out .."didn't Alfred ban you from the kitchen because of that time he asked you to bring him some baker's chocolate squares from Germany and you brought back--?"
Wally bridled at the reminder. Why did the Bat Clan have to be graced with such long memories anyway? That had been a whole year ago! "T'wasn't my fault. I ran into Mirror Master before I even made it to the Atlantic seaboard. By the time I escaped from his whacked-out dimension trap made of Christmas tinsel, I only had enough time to zip into a nearby German import store in New York. The sign above the product sounded like some fancy German brand name and--how was I to know what Abführmittel meant? It was a pure accident."
"They certainly were that---only I wouldn't classify them as pure." Tim wrinkled his nose at the memory."That's why I stick to fruit wraps from now on--it's safer. Believe me, Bruce wouldn't touch something you baked with anything less than safety tongs and anti-venom on hand before he dropped it in the incinerator. Forget it. Anyway, you'd probably have to borrow from Bruce's own larder in order to try to poison him."
Wally really hated logical thinking.
"So...no baking, creating, or credit debt making..." The Flash slumped back on the table. "Any brilliant ideas, Boy Wonder?"
"I'm still trying to figure out why you want to give Bruce a Christmas present in the first place," Tim admitted. "It's not like he's going to be expecting a box under the tree adorned with a little 'From: The Flash' tag. If he did find one, he'd probably take safety measures and deploy the Bat Bomb De-activator before touching so much as the bow."
"Some Boy Wonder you've turned out to be. I only need one workable idea."
"Hey, not my fault he hates you." Tim saw Wally's green eyes grow larger and more wet looking as he started fiddling with his fingers. "Wally?" The off-duty Flash ducked his head. Tim could swear he heard blippy noises which told him Wally was trying to hold back sobs. "Oh my god--that's it, isn't it? You want him to like you? Or at least not despise you so much?"
Wally grumbled over his thickening voice. "Does he really hate me?"
Tim could have kicked himself rather than the chair leg. "Well, hate is kind of a strong word..." he hedged.
"Yeah, and Batz is kind of a strong guy..." the despondent older man sniffled.
Wally had Tim there. "Um...well, then I seriously doubt that a simple doohickey of any price tag is going to win him over. I mean...not like he can't buy it for himself anyway. Now you can save up for latex interior wall paint instead?"
The speedster slumped even further, deeply burying his fingers between strands of ginger hair. "There must be something I can do to get him to notice me."
"Oh, trust me that he notices you right away." Tim had the grace not to add 'you can tell by the way his scowl intensifies whenever you show up'. "Hard not to what with all that red. As The Flash you are your own alert signal flashing 'Here I am! You're all pop culture, laughing, and looking for the spotlight'; and you gotta admit that Bruce is kind of more into high class, dignity, and blending into the background. Now if you could somehow learn to be like that, he might swallow your sticking around long enough to say hello. But you'd need some sort of serious mentoring..."
Both males slowly looked at each other.
A/N: This started as a simple one-chapter holiday fic...but wants to continue. I may regret giving in to it, but for now...we'll see where the muse ends up, shall we?
Oh...I don't own DC or any obvious movie or book parodies you read here. Not for profit time wasting only. Disrespect intended, but of the tongue-in-cheek variety.
