Well, things were bound to get increasingly messy on the way to resolution, weren’t they? After regrouping at Williams’s flat in the previous episode, everyone now has to flee from a massive gunfight with the Clarks, who are still after Kai-Ming and that ever-elusive pinhole camera. At the end of episode four , Sam and Helen realized that they were not delivering Cole to an anonymous life of fabulous wealth but to an uncertain fate at the hands of the Chinese government — which also wants answers about Ambassador Chen’s death, as well as that camera and footage — and have to make a literal run for it after they get stuck in horrible traffic. Even Dani has a crummy night-to-day at the office, spectacularly misjudging the mark in her attempt to seduce Wallace and ultimately getting her ass kicked by Helen. Whew! In the middle of it all is poor, reasonable civilian Michael, trying to process Sam showing up at his door with half of London’s most wanted and would just like everyone to keep their voices down so as not to wake 4-year-old Ruby in the wee hours. Michael is easily the MVP of this episode. He shouldn’t have to be, and it’s monstrous that the reason he’s involved at all is that Sam made a hash of his assignment back in 2017. Still, without Michael and his willingness to hear Sam out, everyone else would be dead. The Clarks’ attack on Williams’s flat is about what Cole led us to expect; they rely on overwhelming firepower and ruthlessness, even when they’re just planning a run-of-the-mill home invasion, double homicide, and kidnapping. I salute Williams and Eleanor for managing as well as they do on their own until Sam shows up and manages to extract Williams. At least they had Eleanor’s mini rocket launcher to supplement their arsenal, and Kai-Ming’s sense of self-preservation got her to lie down in the bathtub. Sam is leaning into some heroics and acts of loyalty in this episode by racing upstairs to Williams’s flat, which is in flames when they arrive, and whisking an injured Williams out and into the taxi he commandeered earlier. This is a very ultimatum-intensive episode. The new Chinese ambassador insists on restitution for Chen’s death in the form of military contracts or blood. CIA station chief Porter demands the return of Cole Atwood, incorrectly assuming that he was removed from the Embassy by Chinese agents. The prime minister calls ... an as-yet unidentified someone, demanding the recording device. The Clarks demand the recording device from Helen and Sam, lest they kill Eleanor and Kai-Ming “in ways so absurdly cruel that the manner of their passing will haunt you ’til your own dying day.” This guy really loves a florid turn of phrase. Reed instructs Sam to kill Alex Clark (and to deliver Cole to her). I just want to point out here that the governments of three major world powers with very sophisticated and well-funded intelligence apparatus at their command have thrown up their hands in the quest for this bit of technology and are relying on the unpaid services of a handful of exhausted solo practitioners, most of whom aren’t even spies. Seems like a managerial skill issue to me! Fortunately for Helen, Sam, and Cole, they’re able to cobble together something resembling a plan. Cole gets to work trying to inform Trent that they know where Kai-Ming is. Once Trent shows up, they can draw his mother out into the open, too. Helen and Sam work on retracing Maggie and Phillip’s steps since they actually saw the footage and will have hidden it and/or the device somewhere safe. Or, they would work on that, but Helen has been summoned home by her nanny, Marie. In all the excitement, she lost track of time, Wallace is still at No. 10, and Marie has stayed well past the end of her usual hours. Work-life balance is a real bear in Helen’s line of work, and she and Wallace aren’t exactly crushing it on the work-emergencies front. What comes next is one of my favorite beats in the story, mostly because it’s a little ambiguous. Wallace turned Dani down quite firmly, but she’s gotten in his head a bit, too. He half-quotes her to Helen, musing out loud that he must disappoint her and that nobody ever knows 100 percent of another person’s inner feelings. Something shifts in his perception of her again when Agent Perryman drops by for a quick confirmation of Helen’s presence at the U.S. Embassy that evening. Perryman doesn’t seem to entertain even a whisper of the notion that she was there for any reason other than to have coffee with Vanessa, but a blend of confusion, suspicion, and maybe a teeny bit of admiration for Helen sweeps across his face. It’s the look of a man who has a big important job, whose wife takes care of all of the details that make their lives run smoothly, so he hasn’t had occasion to pay attention to them ’til just now, and now he realizes just how much he hasn’t seen because he hasn’t been looking for it. Rather than address the specifics of what’s making him wonder about Helen and all she gets up to, he goes for a more oblique angle, with an unexpectedly affecting declaration of love. He’s loved her since the day they met; he’s desperately grateful that she wants anything to do with him, particularly as he’s just a pretty uncomplicated guy who loves her and the life they’ve built together. His top priority is protecting that, fighting for them and her, because, as previously noted, he loves her. I don’t think Helen quite understood how profound Wallace’s love is ’til just now — he sees her . Whoever Helen is, the person she’s created out of this and that over the years, she’s who he loves. We know that’s a bit tenuous given how betrayed Wallace would likely feel if he knew she was a spy causing the leaks that the CIA station chief mentioned in their meeting with the prime minister. On a purely personal level, Wallace’s sense of betrayal would probably bear a close resemblance to Michael’s response to Sam showing up out of the blue in the previous episode. Maybe, like Michael, he’ll be able to excavate happy, untainted-by-treason-and-murder memories that keep alive the notion that a renewal of their former relationship is possible. Maybe, also like Michael, he’ll find himself more afraid of his partner than of the people who’ve come to kill him. Helen tells Sam that it didn’t faze Jason, so maybe the revelation that Helen steals state secrets and commits the occasional murder won’t be as troubling to Wallace as Helen imagines. Jason, who Reed has the gall to say might not be worth avenging, does Helen one more good turn from beyond the grave. The bracelet he gave her? It’s from the shop where Maggie Jones worked, and it’s where the recording device has been quietly waiting in the office safe. If Dani hadn’t shown up looking dreadfully smug, Helen could have gotten on with her morning and done her bit to prevent a war. Instead, we first get a knife-fight scene that’s got a whiff of Kill Bill about it and concludes with Helen finding she’d rather be magnanimous. Rather than garroting Dani with a double strand of pearls or cutting her to ribbons, she tells her vanquished rival, “I’m not going to kill you because I’m still Helen Webb, and Helen Webb doesn’t stab girls to death in jewelry stores on Christmas Eve.” A brave stance, which I hope will pay off in both the short and long terms! Helen’s review of the long-sought footage reveals quite a twist. After all the shootings and explosions we’ve seen, it turns out that Ambassador Chen’s death was just an accident and that the perpetrator isn’t a professional assassin or a covert operative, but “trust-fund-baby moron” Trent Clark. Panicked, Trent calls his mother for help, police commissioner Yarrick shows up, and that’s it. Everyone’s been assuming this weeklong bloodbath was being masterminded by one of those sophisticated intelligence apparatuses we were talking about earlier, but it’s all been the ripple effect of a failson doing what he does best (or worst, depending on your interpretation of events). • Williams gets two runners-up to the best line of the episode. She’s being weirdly lighthearted about having a gunshot wound, on the grounds that “I don’t like to make a fuss!” Her encouragement to pray to the nonreligious Kai-Ming, “maybe now’s a good time to have a chat with your man upstairs,” also had me in stitches. • Of course Reed turns out to be a Christmas girly; I should’ve known she’d have a fondness for studding oranges with cloves to make a pomander ball! • Officer Perryman is played by Adam Best, who graced screens recently as Joe Lynskey in a few episodes of Say Nothing .

Kylian Mbappe’s spot-kick woe goes on as Real Madrid lose at Athletic Bilbao

(TNS) — It was about a year and a half ago when Lindsey Tropf began to hear from school districts that post-pandemic budgets were getting tight as the extra funding for educational institutions to help them bounce back was running dry. Her Buffalo-based startup, Immersed Games, had been selling its video games that promote inquiry-based learning to schools that were adopting them into their curriculum. But now those digital products were one of the many items being put on the chopping block to help get district budgets under control. “I started to get feedback from people who loved what we’re doing and the learning theory, but they literally were not allowed to buy anything right now,” said Tropf, founder and CEO of Immersed Games, a 43North finalist in 2018. So Tropf started to have conversations with partners in the education space about the best path to take to help grow the business, and she decided to pivot her company’s direction. Rather than continuing to create her own custom content, Tropf began to focus more on getting the company’s programs — games used to empower learning — embedded into the already established offerings of other publishers. And that’s led to the opportunity for the games to have even broader use and garner additional support for their development. While the focus remains to bring Immersed Learning into the classroom, the educational tech company now is gaining the funding to expand the games into different areas of learning and adding new features to make the product more powerful, Tropf said. It could lead to the creation of additional jobs as well. Though some deals have taken a while to close, Immersed Games’ new focus has been creating traction. The company was recently named one of 50 winners, earning a $150,000 prize, in the global tech Tools Competition for its math game and flagship product, Tyto Online, which helps illustrate how artificial intelligence is being used to improve learning. The company is also about to launch a pilot with one of the largest K-12 online course providers in the United States. It has multiple partner schools in Buffalo and is now part of a pilot program with software company CypherWorx of Rochester. The company also has received two Small Business Innovation Research grants to make more tool sets for math and to introduce products that are inclusive and accessible to all. “My first year or two, I thought we were going to make all that content, but then I realized that is a terrible idea,” Tropf said. “We really need to become a tool that other people can use to create their own content.” Immersed Games, which has an office on 1160 Main St., moved to Buffalo in 2019 from Gainesville, Fla., after winning $500,000 in the 43North competition and has remained here. Since the company was founded a decade ago, it has grown to 12 full-timers. All but two of them are in Western New York, where the cost of living has been a bonus, especially as inflation and interest rates go up, Tropf said. The company also uses contractors for various tasks, like instructional design work. Tropf came up with the idea for Tyto Online while playing World of Warcraft. In the game, for example, users help solve problems on urban heat islands with statistics or learn about coordinate grids by planning a community park. This is so that students can experience the “why” behind math. Contestants in the 43North competition had to be fast on their feet at Shea’s, answering questions from judges. Big money was on the line. Lindsey Tropf faced a doozy. A judge questioned why someone from Gainesville, Fla., would choose move her company, Immersed Games, to Buffalo. “I won’t have to lose two weeks of development every year fleeing the state from a hurricane,” Tropf said. “I realized how much I learned just through experience and became fascinated with educational games and the idea that we could create a single video game that would serve as a platform began to emerge for me,” she said. “We focus on deep learning that emphasizes skill building. ... Models for great learning can be done in games and often in more empowering ways than we see in other school lessons.” For the pilot program with CypherWorx, Tropf was connected through Upstate Venture Connect, and then helped design the quest to fit into one of the organization’s compliance courses. It’s part of CypherWorx’s effort to try out game-based learning to help support adult learners. Tropf’s team took home the $150,000 prize from the Shark Tank-style Tools Competition to help it reach its goal of growing from 30,000 users to 5 million users by 2027. This year’s competition generated nearly 2,000 submissions from 92 countries, and the 50 winners were from 18 countries. The pilot deal with one of the largest K-12 online course providers in the U.S. is not signed yet, so Tropf said she cannot reveal any details. She also is waiting on the potential state level contract for customized content that could bring additional jobs and opportunities for the company. Also in the pipeline is the potential to use the company’s products for career exploration and middle school science. One of the SBIR grants it received, worth up to $1.25 million in funding, will help bring additional features to the company’s gaming products to support visualizations for math and start building its program for math with middle school statistics and probability. In collaboration with the U.S. Department of Education, the grant provides $250,000 for eight months of rapid prototype development and evaluation of new education technology prototypes in phase one and, potentially, $1 million for the full-scale development and evaluation of new education technology products in the second phase. The other grant Immersed Games received is for work to make the gaming products accessible for blind and visually impaired learners. To help in that effort, Immersed Games is partnering with the nonprofit rehabilitation and social services agency Visually Impaired Advancement, which will provide students to assist with product development. This grant program is structured in three phases, the first two of which are supported by SBIR funds. During phase three, the business will look to commercialize the products. “If we’re going to be scaling through these partners to get to a million students, we don’t want to leave out groups of students,” Tropf said. “The direction I’ve always wanted for the company is that we are this video game where you can learn across any area. You can not only play this video game at school but also outside of school at home and learn about all sorts of other things.” Tropf said she may still sell custom content math tools to schools if curriculum directors tell her that there is a need. She’ll continue collecting that data. “It’s really about what schools need,” she said. “I’m trying to figure out what is going to make the most sense business wise and with the demand and kind of making sure it’s something that works well and is accessible to everyone, while finding that mix of how we can scale cost effectively.”

READ former US Army officer’s report on Ukraine’s war crimesNEW YORK (AP) — A gunman killed UnitedHealthcare’s CEO on Wednesday in a “brazen, targeted attack” outside a Manhattan hotel where the health insurer was holding its investor conference, police said, setting off a massive search for the fleeing assailant hours before the annual Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting nearby. Brian Thompson, 50, was shot around 6:45 a.m. as he walked alone to the New York Hilton Midtown from a nearby hotel, police said. The shooter appeared to be “lying in wait for several minutes” before approaching Thompson from behind and opening fire , New York City Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch said. Police had not yet established a motive. “Many people passed the suspect, but he appeared to wait for his intended target,” Tisch said, adding that the shooting "does not appear to be a random act of violence.” Surveillance video reviewed by investigators shows someone emerging from behind a parked car, pointing a gun at Thompson’s back, then firing multiple times from several feet away. The gunman continues firing, interrupted by a brief gun jam, as Thompson stumbles forward and falls to the sidewalk. He then walks past Thompson and out of the frame. “From watching the video, it does seem that he’s proficient in the use of firearms as he was able to clear the malfunctions pretty quickly,” NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny said. Thompson was shot at least once in the back and once in the calf, Tisch said. The shooter, who wore a jacket, face mask and large backpack, fled through Midtown on foot before pedaling an electric bike into Central Park a few blocks away, police said. The assailant remained at large Wednesday afternoon, sparking a search that included police drones, helicopters and dogs. “Brian was a highly respected colleague and friend to all who worked with him,” the insurer’s Minnetonka, Minnesota-based parent company, UnitedHealth Group Inc., said in a statement. "We are working closely with the New York Police Department and ask for your patience and understanding during this difficult time.” Police issued a poster showing a surveillance image of the man pointing what appeared to be a gun and another image that appeared to show the same person on a bicycle. Minutes before the shooting, he stopped at a nearby Starbucks, according to additional surveillance photos released by police on Wednesday afternoon. They offered a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to an arrest and conviction. Thompson’s wife, Paulette Thompson, told NBC News that he told her “there were some people that had been threatening him.” She didn’t have details but suggested the threats may have involved issues with insurance coverage. Eric Werner, the police chief in the Minneapolis suburb where Thompson lived, said his department had not received any reports of threats against the executive. The killing shook a part of New York City that's normally quiet at that hour, happening about four blocks from where tens of thousands of people were set to gather for Wednesday night’s tree lighting. Police promised extra security for the event. The hotel is also a short walk from other tourist sites, including the Museum of Modern Art and Radio City Music Hall, and is often dense with office workers and visitors on weekday mornings. Many security cameras are nearby. “We’re encouraging New Yorkers to go about their daily lives and their daily business but to be alert,” NYPD Chief of Department Jeffrey Maddrey said. Investigators recovered several 9 mm shell casings from outside the hotel and a cellphone from the alleyway through which the shooter fled. They were also searching Thompson's hotel room, interviewing his UnitedHealthcare colleagues and reviewing his social media, Kenny said. Police initially said the bicycle the shooter used to ride into Central Park came from the city’s bike-share program, CitiBike. But a spokesperson for Lyft, which operates the program, said they were informed by department officials Wednesday afternoon that the bike was not from the CitiBike fleet. Health care giant UnitedHealth Group was holding its annual meeting with investors to update Wall Street on the company's direction and expectations for the coming year. The company ended the conference early in the wake of Thompson's death. “I’m afraid that we — some of you may know we’re dealing with a very serious medical situation with one of our team members,” a company official told attendees, according to a transcript. “And as a result, I’m afraid we’re going to have to bring to a close the event today. ... I’m sure you’ll understand.” Thompson, a father of two sons, had been with the company since 2004 and served as CEO for more than three years. UnitedHealthcare is the largest provider of Medicare Advantage plans in the U.S. and manages health insurance coverage for employers and state-and federally funded Medicaid programs. Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz posted on the social platform X that the state is “sending our prayers to Brian’s family and the UnitedHealthcare team.” “This is horrifying news and a terrible loss for the business and health care community in Minnesota,” the Democrat wrote. Associated Press writers Tom Murphy in Indianapolis, Steve Karnowski in St. Paul, Minnesota, and Anthony Izaguirre in Albany, New York, contributed to this story.

Circa Sports posted odds to win the College Football National Championship today, and the betting odds differ wildly from the Top Ten in the Playoff Committee rankings, the AP Poll or the Coaches Poll. The board has 10-1, #2 ranked Ohio State at +290, 9-2 Georgia at +375 and 11-0, #1 Oregon at +450. Texas is currently #3 in both polls, but Circa slots the Longhorns 4th in playoff chances at +475. The odds to win at FanDuel are similar. With one week to go in the regular season Circa offers the rest of the field as follows: Notre Dame 15-1 Penn State 17-1 Miami 25-1 Alabama, Tennesse 35-1 SMU 50-1 Clemson, Indiana 60-1 Arizona State, Ole Miss 75-1 Boise State 80-1 Colorado, South Carolina 100-1 Texas A&M 150-1 With three losses, the Buffaloes, Gamecocks and Aggies are even longshots to make the 12-team playoff, but in a year of rare chaos, it could still happen. © Ricardo B. Brazziell/American-Statesman / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images The Playoff Committee announces the first 12-team bracket on Selection Sunday December 8th. As to the odds, it's a bit like the old basketball cliche, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take. For several of the contending schools, the odds will go way up or way down depending on how they perform during Rivalry Week and at the conference championship games. For Oregon, the Buckeyes were favored by 3.5 points when the two teams met in October. Ohio State's dominance in wins over Penn State and Indiana has the oddsmakers convinced they'll win the rematch, probably opening as a 6.5-point favorite if the two teams win out on Saturday. OSU hosts archrival Michigan, while the Ducks tangle with longtime nemesis Washington in Autzen Stadium.
