Queries as FG plans sale of TCN to complete power sector privatisation
• Amadi: Unbundling TCN may go the way of DisCos, GenCos
• Faniran: Govt has no good track record in asset sales
Plans by the Federal Government to complete privatisation of the electricity sector, eight years after initial attempt, has led to stakeholders tasking government on what to do to make a difference.
Already, the Federal Government has commenced process to privatise Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN) as a way to stop subsidising the sector, while attempting to warehouse existing debt, especially tariff shortfall in the Nigeria Electricity Liability Management Company (NEMLCO). The Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE), the government entity in charge of privatisation had announced plans for the unbundling of TCN and eventual sale between January 2021 and November 2022.
BPE, according to Bloomberg, is currently considering various strategies to reform TCN. Director-General, Alex Okoh, was quoted in a report as saying the agency would share its proposal "very shortly" with the National Council on Privatisation for the unbundling. This is coming after the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) issued a consultation document dated June 2020, with reference NERC/CP/2020/01, consulting stakeholders on unbundling of TCN.
But a lot of stakeholders see this move as a time bomb, which may eventually collapse the bed-ridden power sector, while others say the plan is just propaganda. More critical voices are afraid if government can get best value from the sale given the current state of the sector.
They express worry about the capacity of the BPE, alongside its team of presidential task force as well as private consultant to deliver on the TCN sale, having failed to get best value from sale of DisCos and GenCos, leaving loopholes that are currently hurting the sector.
They see the power sector situation as suffering failure of an attempt to solve a multidimensional problems using an unidirectional approach, abuse of due process, refusal to follow laid down rules, corruption, lack of capacity of responsible state actors, labour problems, political interference and under-valuation of assets.
In 2013, government sold shares to private individuals and raised about $2billion from the unbundling of Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN), creating a number of distribution and generation companies.
Privatisation of TCN, the Niger Delta Company of Nigeria, other independent power plants, and renewable projects were expected to complete the exercise. But the process has remained a mirage since the coming on board of this administration, apparently as it did not originate the privatisation exercise.
Despite privatisation, the power sector has continued to wobble, as generation remained at 13,000WM while distribution and transmission capacity hovers around 3,500WM. Where as, the plan was to increase electricity generation to 40,000MW by 2020. The dismal performance of the sector has been attributed to the fundamental loopholes embedded in the privatisation arrangement.
Apart from the malaise of poor generation and distribution, the sector is afflicted by financial crisis as government keeps pumping in taxpayers' money to manageably keep it alive. Reportedly, N322 billion, N403 billion and N524 billion were recorded as tariff debts in 2017, 2018 and 2019. Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo had noted that the Federal Government recently pumped in about N1.301trillion as subsidy or intervention fund.
TCN is to electricity transportation what a gas pipeline is to gas utility and road infrastructure to road users. But like the Nigerian road syndrome, TCN transmission lines create nightmare for the electricity sector. Just like a road with unbearable potholes, the electricity grid faces perpetual collapse amidst inability to wheel enough energy.
This is despite the $1.6 billion invested through the World Bank, African Development Bank (AfDB) and other corporations. The $1.6 billion investment is in addition to other budgetary allocations to key power infrastructure and other revenues generated by the government-owned agency.
To most stakeholders, especially those who are pessimistic about government's sincerity on all matters, to sell the TCN might be a tall order, because the company remains the basic power sector agency where political actors embezzle funds and arrange their candidates for employment.
A member of the Presidential Committee, who was in charge of initial sale of PHCN insisted that the lack of capacity in BPE to successfully transition sold assets into viable organisations would only throw up litigation matters that could worsen the power sector, unless proper plans are put on ground.
"I can tell you for free that government will not sell TCN. That is where politicians are pushing their relatives to for employment. And if TCN is sold, our brothers, who are filling up all government agencies will have nowhere to go. If you have gone to TCN recently, you will see how people are loitering around the corridor without office," the source said.
Former Chairman of NERC, Sam Amadi however told The Guardian that selling or unbundling the transmission segment of the market may not have much impact. "If it is privatized at this point, it may complicate the situation of the sector. It is doubtful if the electricity market can attract an investor it requires for financial and technical capacity to fund and manage the sector at this point to the level of expertise," Amadi said.
According to him, the facility may end up being acquired by such same investors that took many of the generation and distribution assets. He said while the Buhari government has been extremely incompetent in managing the electricity sector; there should be caution in privatising TCN because of its public value.
"The proposal in the EPSR Act of unbundling it into ISO and TSP and making them a sort of public trust may be a better plan than an outright sale. For now, the overhaul required is to unbundle it and appoint independent boards as required by NERC regulation.
"Again, the ministry of power should follow the regulation process in the appointment and management of TCN. If they allow TCN to be fully regulated, then it will be more efficient. Instead of sale to the private sector, turn it into a public trust for now and much later it can be privatized when the market has become more financially strong," Amadi said.
Energy expert, Michael Faniran noted that government has no good track record in asset sales, stressing that some of the previous disposals by government have been bedevilled with many challenges.
"Transfer of ownership and realisation of funds from the transaction should not be the ultimate of the divestment plan for TCN," Faniran said. He insisted that if government must go ahead with the sale, there was need for the process to be auditable and comply with international leading practices, have independence and absence of undue interference from the government, ensure transparency and fairness as well as due diligence and evaluation of the bidders.
"The government must realise fair value from the sale of the asset. Government must also guarantee that other post-sales economic benefits such as tax etc. will accrue to the government. There must be improved performance, service delivery of the asset after sales. The objective of government in the power sector must be realisable with the asset after the sales," he Faniran noted.
Mineral/Energy Resource economist and former president of the Nigerian Association for Energy Economists (NAEE), Wunmi Iledare noted: "Often too many, a temporary agency for a defined agenda just becomes a permanent agency. That's my feeling with BPE's involvement with the flying kite in TCN. What happened to the Canadian arrangements? GenCos and DisCos buying NEPA assets with government participation is not full privatisation because of the enormous liabilities with respect to workers. Perhaps, TCN's liabilities are less," he said.
Iledare noted that in the long run, the value of TCN remains the interest buyers, adding that that is currently something to worry about.
"The ability to recover your investment is tied to successful DisCos and GenCos. A consortium without government's dictation and a non-governmental referee is the way to go. I stand corrected, but the failure of DisCo to perform can be traced to the bidding process for NEPA assets in a pseudo monopoly setting with no proper guard rails," Iledare said.
"The government must move away from centralised planning in a democracy, with a competitive market system goal or in some situation, a regulated market system with no government when there is no evidence of market failure. Autocratic governance of the energy sector is why the deregulated electricity market has not work," he added.

Talking Point: Stop New Zealand's role in controversial phosphate trade
Amoy Dream is scheduled to land in Napier today.
By: Kamal Fadel
A vessel named Amoy Dream carrying about 55,000 tonnes of phosphate rock from Western Sahara is expected to arrive at Napier Port today.
Seventy per cent of all New Zealand's phosphate comes from Western Sahara, occupied by Morocco since 1975. It has, since then, been a shameful blot on the landscape of global justice and human rights.
Legal opinion is mounting that Morocco's exploitation of Sahrawi resources, and the subsequent import of those resources, is illegal.
The kingdom of Morocco has cadged and manoeuvred nimbly since a United Nations-brokered ceasefire in 1991, to ensure much is said but also that the awful status quo remains unchanged.
UN resolutions come and go, confirming the right of Sahrawis to self-determination and countless official admonitions emerge and fade away like mirages in the harsh Sahara sun.
More than 80 countries recognise Western Sahara as an independent entity and it is a member of the African Union, while no country recognises Morocco's occupation of Western Sahara.
Morocco's deft lobbying has ensured Western Sahara remains mired in economic backwardness, and has ensured its people are continually, and often violently, deprived of their basic liberties and freedoms.
More than 173,000 Sahrawis refugees remain stranded in the desert, victims of Morocco's strong-arm tactics. Many haven't been able to go home for about four decades.
Despite it all, the world, it seems, has learned how to ignore Western Sahara. But not the super-phosphate industry. It has been busy pumping funds straight into the pockets of the fabulously wealthy Moroccan royal family and depriving impoverished Sahrawis of their rightful return on resources extracted from beneath their very feet.
Increased demand for fertilisers in an era of increased concerns about food security and with raising yields combined with no new capacity has ensured Western Saharan phosphate trades at a premium on the world stage.

Phosphate is thus a major trade asset for Morocco and represents a form of theft from the Sahrawi, many of whom languish in refugee camps on the Algerian border while the rest live in poverty in the occupied areas.
New Zealand companies argue that their imports of phosphate rock to New Zealand are in full compliance with international law, including UN provisions for trade with non-self-governing territories.
In 2002, the UN's senior legal officer, Hans Corell, determined that the exploitation of Western Sahara natural resources in disregard of the interests of the people of Western Sahara would violate international legal principles related to non-self-governing territories.
The Court of Justice of the European Union (the CJEU) affirmed on three occasions (December 2016 and February and July 2018) that Morocco has no sovereignty over Western Sahara and its maritime space.
In May 2017, the Sahrawi authorities successfully applied to the South Africa High Court to detain a vessel carrying a cargo of phosphates en route to New Zealand. The court subsequently ruled that the Sahrawi authorities (and people) were the rightful owners of the cargo and that Morocco was not entitled to trade in Western Sahara resources.
Another argument that is often advanced by New Zealand companies is that the local Moroccan company Phosbucraa is helping the local population with employment and investment. This is not true because despite the substantial income received from Western Sahara natural resources, the overwhelming majority of Sahrawis still live in dire poverty.
Phosbucraa is a Moroccan state-owned company. All the revenue earned by it is paid into the Moroccan treasury and is used at the regime's discretion.
The Moroccan phosphate mining and processing industry is captive to the Moroccan absolute monarch and his generals who benefit, not the local Sahrawi population.
New Zealand has time and again expressed support to the UN peace process in Western Sahara including the holding of a genuine act of self-determination by the Sahrawi people.
Yet this is a contradiction when New Zealand companies, in direct contravention of basic international law and convention, are allowed to trade with an illegally occupied region under a UN self-determination mandate.
In Australia, Canada, the United States and Scandinavia companies have already bailed on the sector and have dumped shares in companies involved in the illegal trade. Shareholders in New Zealand might wonder about facing the same fate.
Ravensdown and Ballance should actively consider alternative sources and invest in equipment that enables them to broaden their supply options with a view to ending the illegal importing from Western Sahara. This is possible and not expensive but requires good will and leadership from the company's management.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern displayed extraordinary leadership and courage during the Christchurch massacre. We are hopeful the Prime Minister will show the same resolve to stop the phosphate trade which is damaging New Zealand's good reputation and standing in the world.

According to the Guardian, a loophole in National Security Agency (NSA) rules in the US allows for the spy agency to carry out searches for US citizens' email and phone call details without the need for a warrant.
The NSA, whose surveillance activities (along with the UK and Germany) came to light following disclosures of classified material by former NSA agent Edward Snowden earlier in the year, can reportedly carry out "warrantless searches for the phone calls or emails of law-abiding Americans", according to comments from Senator Ron Wyden included in the report.
While the surveillance of foreign nationals looks to have been widespread, authorities were thought to have been unable to try and trace US individuals without a corresponding warrant under Section 702 of the of the Fisa Amendments Act (FAA). These disclosures would seem to challenge that belief.

At our South Bay Regional Alliance Meeting on June 1st, four Alliance members shared thought-provoking perspectives on topics ranging from board communications to the dramatic changes seen today in the energy industry. Attendees gained valuable insight into their personal experiences and visions for upcoming industry trends.
In his engaging talk "Powering Our Lives," Will Anderson, CEO of Complete Solar, explained how the energy sector is on the cusp of the most dramatic change ever experienced by an industry of its size. His advice for participating in this "energy revolution" is to follow a few key steps: decentralize power closer to where it is used (solar and storage are key); electrify everything (stop burning things!); and break up monopolies and distribute benefits.
Next was Victor Chapela, Co-Founder & CEO of Suggestic, who emphasized the importance of "mission-driven entrepreneurship." He described how he built a substantial business by the time he was 23, but then proceeded to lose it all in the .com crash. He shared one of the personal guidelines he followed to successfully rebuild the organization: never compromise on your mission simply to appease your various stakeholders. He stressed the importance of watching ROI and urged the attendees to remember that it's not about you, rather it's about everyone in the company.
Gary Gysin, President & CEO of Liquid Robotics, offered his perspectives on maintaining transparent communication with company board members. He explained how he once found himself in a position with $85M invested in his company, only to discover that the board had differing visions for the company. His final takeaways were to: invest heavily in forming board relationships, recognize the motivations of board members, understand the capitalization table before taking the CEO role, and never count on a fixed set of executive sponsors within buyer companies.
Finally, Navin Nagiah of Sierra Ventures, described what he's learned from studying his previous mistakes. "Human beings fight much harder to not lose something they already have, than to win something they don't yet have," he explained. "We make decisions of creation very differently than we do decisions of loss-aversion," he continued. He concluded by asking his fellow Alliance members to consider how they can become more consciously disciplined in their own decision making.

Our single mother advice maven Tinzley Bradford weighs in with holiday love for less… And thanks to Frugalicious for the fab budget tips video below.
Merry Christmas and I hope you're working on a fabulous new you for the New Year. Does being a single parent have you all stressed out? Does the holiday season make it seem even worse? Let me share a nice secret with you. YOU'RE NOT SUPERWOMAN AND YOU CAN'T DO EVERYTHING. So only do the best that you can.
I know it's easy to get overwhelmed when you feel like you're doing it all by yourself, you have a heavy load on your shoulders and your is depending solely on you to get them great Christmas gifts. The thing is, you don't have an 'everything they want' kind of budget, but you don't want to let them down.
Remember the holidays are not about material items. Be sure to teach your kids that it's all about love and family. So what else do you do to meet your child's needs without going nuts?
I have a few tips just for you!
1. Ask your child to provide a wish list that includes the top 5 items that they really want for Christmas, this will help minimize the stress of you feeling like you have so much to get on a little budget.
2.If you know you can't get an item, don't give false hope. Don't say what you're going to get them unless you're sure. I say this because, while I'm sure it's never intended to break a promise, kids can be pretty hurt if they don't see what you said you were getting them under that tree. Even if they hold their pain in, they are probably sad and just may not want to offend you.
Instead of saying what you will get them, say you will try to get this or that item and just be honest. Keep in mind the amount of times you have given them all they wanted and sure they remember too. Don't stress — just do your best!
3. Educate your child/ children on the true meaning of giving.
Take them to a local charity or children's group home to do some volunteer work so they can see first hand how hard some kids have it and how they can give back to those who don't have family or those who are in need.
This is sure to remind your child just how good they have it and how blessed they are even if they DON'T get every item on their Christmas list. They will see some kids unfortunately don't get anything.
4. See if your in-laws are willing to chip in and get some of the items off your child's Christmas list.
Depending on your relationship with your kid's father or the family of your child's father, this is a great way to still get as much as you can without using all your money.
Keep in mind once Christmas passes you are still that same single parent who has other financial obligations to meet. Don't break the bank for Christmas trying to spoil your child, just do your best. Trust me; your child will still love you. Think of how much they already do.
5. Find cheaper methods to fill that wish list.
Example: if your child is into gaming which most of them are and they have asked for multiple games. Instead of spending $26.00 for one new College Football Video game at Best Buy, try going to Game Stop where you can get that same game pre-owned for half that price. Then you can even afford a second game as well.
That's what I've done and trust me; most kids could care less about the packaging, they just want the contents. Try online shopping early too, you will be surprised how many items your child wants can be found on Amazon.com and many ship as fast as three to four days.
6. Be honest and just tell them you don't have it. If you know there is no way you can make Christmas happen for them on time, just tell your kids Christmas will be a little late. If you can get one item then get it, and have that pep talk with your child.
Let them know that even though it may be late, it's coming. If you have to get creative for the younger ones and say Santa got stuck in a snow bank while he was on his way then say that. But what ever you do, don't let them wake up without knowing what or what NOT to expect on Christmas Day.
Trust me. Your kids have seen everything you've done for them single handedly over the years. I'm certain they will understand.
I can suggest having some fun games to play ready to kind of take their minds off of things. Also see if there are any cool inexpensive holiday events going on in your city like ice skating or a Christmas parade; take them there. Some events hand out free stuff for the kids. This way even if though they didn't get a lot yet; they will still have a fun memorable Christmas day.
7. See if you can put your name on the Toys for Tots list. Don't be embarrassed; that's what this organization does. They provide toys for children less fortunate. Just visit toysfortots.com to see what you need.
There you have it, dolls; my advice on how to make doing Christmas on a single mom's budget not so horrific. I hope you were able to get some helpful tips that you can use and I thank you for stopping by.
I'd love to hear from you about some of the neat ways you're getting your Christmas list done for your kids. I'm sure I can learn a few things, too. Find me on Twitter @tinzleyb.

Troyville kallas en arkeologisk kultur som blomstrade åren 400–700 e.Kr. i Mississippiflodens nedre dalgång i nuvarande Arkansas och Louisiana. Troyvillekulturen uppkom ur Hopewelltraditionen och efterträddes av Coles Creek-kulturen.

Arkeologi
Troyvillekulturens kvarlevor demonstrerar mycket komplexa och varierade sociala och spatiala strukturer. Gravhögar var viktiga element i det rumsliga systemet. Gravskicket var komplext med en rad olika gravtyper, inklusive hundgravar. Skallhögar, bensamlingar och bengropar har dokumenterats. De flesta bosättningar är mindre än 500 kvadratmeter och saknar såväl högar som mänskliga gravar. Keramiken är vanligen odekorerad och stenföremål återfinns sällan.

Resursutnyttjande
Bärarna av Troyvillekulturen livnärde sig på lokala vilda och odlade väхter. Ekollon, dadelplommon, palmetto (Sabal minor), pumpa med mera utnyttjades. Protein ficks från hjort och småvilt. Majs var av underordnad betydelse och blev inte ett baslivsmedel förrän under Plaqueminekulturen.

A 50th Anniversary gift to the Seminary from Eliza Baylies Wheaton, the bowling alley was constructed in 1884 between the apple orchard (in back of Mary Lyon Hall and in front of Knapton Hall) and the edge of the Dimple. This little building had two lanes and stained-glass windows. The December 1884 issue of Rushlight describes the bowling alley as "a treasure, for perfect in every part, it is this little building, with its stained glass windows, its tasteful decorations, its two alleys, and other complete appointments for the game. We are sure there are few in the state which can compare with it."
First mentioned in the catalog of 1901-02 (when each building was described for the first time), the bowling alley was last mentioned in 1907-08. The catalog noted that the alley provided "an agreeable means of exercise and recreation, especially when the weather is unfavorable for out-of-door life."
When the bowling alley was moved in the spring of 1908, it was divided into three parts, used for a carpenter's shop, a garage and a house for an employee. Later, part of the building was attached to a faculty house.

Airthings Masters QF2: Carlsen, Nakamura, So & Nepo all out
Daniil Dubov sensationally knocked World Champion Magnus Carlsen out of the Airthings Masters to reach the semi-finals, but that was just the headline result on a day when all four of the players who reached the Skilling Open semi-finals were knocked out. Levon Aronian needed just two games to dispatch Hikaru Nakamura, while the remaining matches went to Armageddon. MVL beat tour leader Wesley So while Teimour Radjabov overcame Ian Nepomniachtchi.

Before the day began you wouldn't have expected the matches involving the online chess kings Magnus Carlsen and Hikaru Nakamura to be the first to finish, or at least not with the outcome we got, but that's just what happened.
Let's take the matches one at a time.
Dubov 2.5:0.5 Carlsen
24-year-old Russian star Daniil Dubov has made absolutely no secret of how much playing Magnus Carlsen means to him, and after he'd taken down the World Chess Champion he commented:
I was much more interested in this match than in winning the whole thing. I think I tend to overestimate these things, but I think indeed if you remember after winning this Lindores Abbey I told you that the one who beats Magnus [in Lindores it was Nakamura] gets all the respect, so I still think so, actually. This means much more for me than winning the whole Lindores Abbey thing.
Dubov has become the most uncompromising player near the top of world chess, and by move 16 he was offering a piece sacrifice.
White seems to be doing at least fine after 16…g5!?, and Carlsen's 16…c5! was the best move in the position, but what makes Dubov such a terrifying opponent is the sheer quantity of chess life or death decisions he forces his opponent to make. After 17.Nf5 cxd4 18.Nc6 Qd7 19.Bh3! it was again critical.
The computer points out the queen sacrifice 19…Bxc6!!? 20.Nxh6+ may be Black's strongest option, while there was rough equality after 19…Qxc6, which seems the sane choice. Instead Magnus got his king away from the Nxh6+ idea with 19…Kh8?, but after 20.Ne5! he was forced to give up the exchange with 20…Rxe5 (20...Qe6 21.Nxh6! Qxh3 22.Nexf7# would have been a funny mate!).
That should have been game over, but as we saw in the 2nd game of the first day, Magnus is hugely tenacious in defence and conversion of winning positions is not necessarily Daniil's strong point. Magnus fought all the way back to equality and could even dream of winning, but with 30 seconds on his clock he misplayed a very tricky defence and allowed a beautiful finish.
Daniil has to move his queen? No! He calmly played 41.Rxb7!, removing the pin on the f3-pawn, so 41…Bxf2 runs into 42.f4+ Kf6 43.Rbf7# Magnus tried to stop the f-pawn with the desperate 41…Rf8 but after 42.Qxe3+ he resigned with mate next move. A stunning finale that left Magnus playing catch-up.
Magnus didn't crumble, however, and came very close to levelling the score in the next game, which was almost a carbon copy of the win he ground out in the first game of their match the day before. This time, however, Daniil escaped from an ending a pawn down.
"If I win or lose I'm not going to miss my chance to play a very interesting game against Magnus," said Dubov afterwards, and no-one was surprised to see him come out all guns blazing again in the third game, even though in terms of the match situation a draw would have been very good for him.
Dubov pushed his h-pawn to h5, developed his rook to h4, manually "castled" with 15.Kf1 and 16.Kg1… and still managed to build up a dangerous advantage. Even as Magnus began to stabilise you could feel the pressure he was under.
Dubov didn't find the subtle 22.Qb1!, and after 22.Qc2 c3! Magnus seized the initiative, before his day was suddenly looking up after 27.Nc5?
If anyone else played this you'd assume it was just a blunder, and after 27…Rxc5 28.dxc5 Nxg4 Black was indeed winning, but after 29.c6 Qxc6 (29…Qb6! is a significant improvement, according to the computer, if you dare to leave the pawn alive) 30.Rxc3 it was clear that the king on e8 was in genuine danger.
The whole game and match turned on move 34.
"Maybe I'm lost after Rd6, but I felt like it's very dangerous for him," said Dubov. The way for Black to win was to boldly play a move like 34…Qa5!, when the threat of Qe1+, Qxf2+ and mate on h2 proves sufficient to deny White the time for a mating attack.
Magnus burned up 1 minute and 39 seconds, letting his clock tick down to 38 seconds, and perhaps in that time he was haunted by the memory of Game 3 the day before, when he'd taken his queen away from the main action only to see his king come under an irresistible attack. In any case, he eventually played 34…Qe7?, keeping his queen next to his king, but after 35.Qd4+! he was suddenly lost. After the only move 35…Kg5 the quiet 36.f3! was the killer (36.f4+? would allow 36…Kxh5 and Black wins, but after 36.f3 mate is threatened with Qg4).
With the queen on a5, Qe1+ would save the day, but now there was nothing better than 36…f5 (unless you count 36…Qxd6 and a desperate attempt to set up a fortress) 37.fxg4 Rc8 38.Qf4+ Kf6…
…and here Magnus allowed the beautiful mate 39.Qxf5# (the e6-pawn is pinned by the rook) to end the game!
Dubov explained afterwards:
I just know that Magnus is human, so basically if a human blunders something being down to 30 seconds under some random attack, it happens! People will probably say, it's unbelievable luck and so on, and blablabla, but basically facing such an attack sometimes you will blunder. It happens. He was just unlucky to blunder at the most important point, but once again it happens… I'm not exactly shocked by this. It's obviously luck, but it's not a miracle!
In his 30s, Magnus has lost to Wesley So in the Skilling Open final, then Maxime Vachier-Lagrave in the Speed Chess semi-final and now Daniil Dubov in the Airthings Masters quarterfinals, which by his exalted standards is well below par. He didn't hold back with the self-criticism…
…but he also had no problem with his friend and second Dubov celebrating!
That loss by the World Champion potentially opened up the tournament to the other favourites, if only they hadn't all lost as well!
Aronian 2:0 Nakamura
Magnus Carlsen Chess Tour finalist Hikaru Nakamura came into the second day of his match against Levon Aronian needing to win in the first four games to force a playoff, just as he'd managed in the Skilling Open quarterfinals against MVL. This time, however, it went wrong early on, as in an offbeat opening – the players were in uncharted territory by move 7 – Levon managed to exchange off queens into a position where he had total domination:
20…e5 was Hikaru's only reasonable attempt at defending his pawns, and 21.Nxc6? Rec8! would be a mistake, but after 21.Nf5! there was no stopping the knight coming to d6, while the f4 and c4 pawn breaks simply emphasised the weakness of Black's position. There was no way back.
Hikaru would now need to win two of the next three games, but Levon felt his opponent was already broken:
I think after the 1st game, where I managed to get a good position early on and convert it, it was difficult for Hikaru, more or less mentally. He kind of collapsed in the second game.
The collapse came when Hikaru spent 18 seconds on 25.a5? only to get hit by 25…Ng4+!, after which White was lost.
Levon went on to win the second game and, since even two wins for Hikaru would now mean only a draw in the second mini-match, he was out. It was a shocking way for the world blitz no. 1 to leave the tournament, though the day hadn't been all bad.
Levon marches on, and put his success down to a relaxed attitude:
I'm trying to take it easier. I'm understanding this is the last tournament of the year, so I just want to enjoy it, so I'm enjoying it a lot.
What are his New Year's Resolutions? He says he tells his friends, "I wish them all to have a boring, uneventful year!"
The remaining two matches went all the way to Armageddon and were so jam-packed with incident that we can only scratch the surface.
So 2.5:1.5 MVL and 1.5:1.5 – Maxime wins with a draw as Black in Armageddon
Hikaru's US colleague Wesley So did a much better job of mounting a comeback, winning a pawn early on against Maxime Vachier-Lagrave's Grünfeld Defence and then going on to convert, though not without some adventures.
Wesley then only needed to draw the next three games, which he did, though taking a 9-move draw with White in Game 3 almost backfired in bizarre circumstances in Game 4.
With White's attack stymied, Wesley was simply two pawns up with an overwhelming advantage, but he almost went on to lose this game! It started with 39…Re6? 40.Rxe6 Qxe6 41.Qxg5! and suddenly Black's advantage had gone. Winning the ending and the match still looked a mission impossible for Maxime, but at one point objectively he did have a win before it ended in a 104-move draw. He might have lived to regret that if the playoff hadn't gone his way.
There was a stumble or two along the way in the first blitz game, but Maxime managed to topple Wesley's Berlin Wall and regain the lead in the match.
It's been observed before that while Wesley is usually happy to make draws, when he needs to win he tends to manage that as well, and he hit back with a flowing attack in the next game to level the scores. Here's one nice moment:
Taking the exchange immediately with 24.Nxf5 isn't so clear, but Wesley went for the zwischenzug or inbetween move 24.Qh3!, threatening mate on h7 (the f5-rook can't move as it's pinned to the queen on d7), and after 24…f6 25.Nxf5 Wesley finished off in style.
After winning that game with the white pieces, Wesley chose White in the Armageddon (it was his choice after finishing higher in the preliminary stage), but Maxime switched to a more solid defence and, despite coming under serious pressure, managed to hold on to get the draw he needed to reach the semi-finals.
The Skilling Open winner and Tour leader was out, while Maxime marches on. The French no. 1 was asked about 2020 having been a great year for him, considering he's currently leading the Candidates Tournament:
In a way, yes, but I don't think it's been a great year overall. Chesswise I would have hoped to be able to play more over-the-board, and clearly this couldn't happen, but I'm looking forward to next year and resuming over-the-board events immensely!
Radjabov 2:2 Nepo & 1.5:1.5 – Teimour wins with a draw as Black in Armageddon
This match capped a crazy day of action in the Airthings Masters.
It started with a bang, as Ian Nepomniachtchi played 18…Qb7??, putting his queen on almost the worst possible square, since after 19.Qe4! it was now impossible to play 19…Nf6 since the queen on b7 would be lost.
Nepo missed great chances to come back straightaway in the next game, then was held to a quiet draw in Game 3, meaning that all Radjabov needed was a draw in the final rapid game to clinch the match. What did he do? He played his old love, the hyper-aggressive King's Indian Defence, much to the delight of chess fans who included Egyptian GM Bassem Amin.
The position that arose was the dream of any KID player, but also visually striking. Both of our main English commentary teams thought of children, or children's TV!
This was in fact a critical position, since Teimour could have crowned a fine game with 30…Nxg4! After almost two minutes' thought, however, he decided not to force matters and play 30…Bg7, but Nepo now seized the chance to play 31.Bxf4! The wonderful clamp Black had on the position crumbled and Ian, with some help from his opponent, found a way to win the game and take the match to a playoff.
This time it was Nepo who struck first, though Teimour could have drawn first blood.
27.Bxh7+! is a very familiar sacrifice, but has the unusual point that it's really just clearing the e4-square to meet 27…Kxh7 with 28.Re4!, gaining a decisive material advantage. Teimour had a couple of chances to spot that idea, but in the end Black took over until Ian finished with a mating attack.
The Russian no. 1 and world no. 4 therefore only needed a draw with White to reach the semi-finals, but Teimour met 1.e4 with 1…b6!? and got the perfect fighting position before unleashing the stunning 21…Be3!!
Black's main threat is Rxg2+, winning the queen on h5, and although Ian tried to complicate matters with 22.d7+ Nxd7 23.Ng4 Teimour went on to win an impressive game after 23…Bxf2+!.
After two blitz wins for Black in a row it was perhaps a surprising decision for Nepo to pick White for the Armageddon, and in fact Teimour was on top for most of a wild game. He could have won with a real brilliancy.
It turns out that after 32…Qh8!! here White is defenceless against the threat of Rh7 and giving mate on h1 or thereabouts, but after 32…Bf7 Teimour got the draw he needed, with the game and match ending on move 68. Nepo wasn't hiding his frustration.
It had been stunning entertainment, though Ian almost quoted the Gladiator.
He elaborated later...
...then again:
Everyone working on the tour events sympathises with Ian's desire for at least one rest day, though the current schedule was partly designed to meet TV requirements.
For the semi-finalists there's no break, as the matches now begin on New Year's Eve and will be finished on New Year's Day.
MVL-Aronian is a classic match-up. Levon beat Maxime in Armageddon in the semi-final of the 2017 World Cup, while Maxime got revenge by winning their 2019 World Cup quarterfinal. Most recently Maxime beat Levon in the Speed Chess quarterfinals, and he commented:
I know all these guys, Levon especially well, we've played a lot of very important matches together, and that will be one more episode in our story. I appreciate Levon very much as a person, but we're used to these brotherly fights and this is going to be one of them!
Teimour Radjabov beat Maxime on the way to winning that 2019 World Cup and is a knockout specialist, but Daniil Dubov, for all his talk of not caring too much about what happens next, is likely to come prepared with some more bombs to explode.
Happy New Year, and don't forget to follow all the semi-final action live here on chess24!

Keith Lipert, of Keith Lipert Corporate Gifts, was recently interviewed by The Georgetowner about his career in Custom gifting. With more than 30 years of experience, Lipert shares why gifting is so important and how he's found gifting solutions for businesses, politicians, and corporations for decades.
"'I don't think there is another store like mine in the world.' Keith Lipert Gallery, the M Street store he ran since the 1990s near the Four Seasons, was transformed last year into his Canal Square showcase, where he holds court today.
Lipert's career has been about artful gifts, exquisite jewelry, Italian silver plates, unique presents for the family and, particularly, presents that tie the corporate world together and create opportunities for diplomats. 'My role is to do the research, do some thinking and present choices,' he says.
'We have a different point of view, that gifts tell a story,' says Lipert, who calls his business an oasis of gift-finding that 'reflects you' and is also about 'your company or your country. Gifts are the vehicle that show that you care,' he says.
'While gifts show gratitude and act as a reward for some, on another level gifts can help change perception and even provide a safe space where participants can talk — about the gift, if selected wisely,' Lipert adds. 'Such gifts are placed in homes or office and sort of live forever. A good example is Churchill's home, where gifts from FDR and Stalin are displayed.
Clients have included kings, queens … and madams.
Lipert is proud of his more than 25 years in Georgetown matching unique gifts with their recipients.

US regulators the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission and the board of the Federal Reserve have set out plans for meeting their supervisory goals related to the clearing business.
US regulators the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) and the board of the Federal Reserve (the Fed) have set out plans for meeting their supervisory goals related to the clearing business.
The three agencies have to provide consistency in oversight and risk monitoring according to Section 813 of the Dodd-Frank Act, which was enacted on 21 July 2010. The supervisory framework for designated clearing entities (DCEs), provided by Congress in Title VIII of the act, emphasises the systemic risk that DCEs can create and encourages closer consultation between supervisors.
DCEs are systemically important clearing entities, defined as closed systems that provide multilateral clearing and settlement services and risk management services to their members.
To meet their obligations under Dodd-Frank, the three agencies have set out five actions. The CFTC and the SEC will consult the Fed and other agencies as they finalise rulemakings that establish risk management standards for derivatives clearing organisations, which are registered with the CFTC, and clearing agencies, which are registered with the SEC. This consultation should be continued as future agency rulemakings connected to risk management standards for DCEs are developed.
The CFTC and SEC will also develop a formal process for consulting with the Fed on proposing material changes to a DCE's operation. All three bodies will develop a consultative mechanism that promotes a shared understanding of potential systemic risks and allows the exchange of information regarding relevant risk management practice.
It is also suggested that the three should develop a process for consulting annually on the scope and methodology of the SEC's and CFTC's planned examinations of DCEs and allowing them each to comment on the examinations themselves.
Finally they will develop an appropriate process for sharing information on DCEs.
The Group of 20 agreed in September 2009 that all standardised OTC derivative contracts must be cleared through central counterparties by end-2012. The Dodd-Frank Act is partly the US response to that agreement, and these latest measures are safeguards against the consequences of central counterparty failure, made more serious for the wider financial system by the increased volumes and range of contracts that they will process.

The only trouble is he takes a serious shine to his wife, Kay, and doesn't at all agree that Larry should be letting her go.

Four Daughters
Adam Lemp, the Dean of the Briarwood Music Foundation, …
Adam Lemp, the Dean of the Briarwood Music Foundation, has passed on his love of music to his four early adult daughters - Thea, Emma, Kay and Ann - who live with him and his sister, the girls' Aunt Etta, in the long time family home. Of the four, Kay has the greatest promise as a musical performer, specifically as a singer. Theirs is a loving family, however much the girls exasperate their father with their love of popular music, since he loves only the classics, most specifically Beethoven. The girls support each other however they can, but each is an individual with her own distinct personality and wants, including the type of man each wants as a husband. Practical but deep in her heart romantic Emma has long been courted by their next door neighbor, unassuming florist Ernest Talbot, and clever Thea wants to be Mrs. Ben Crowley, he a wealthy up and coming banker with prospects. Only the youngest, the fun loving Ann, states that she doesn't want to get married. Their collective lives change with the entry into their lives of two men. The first is Adam's old friend's son, popular music composer and conductor Felix Deitz, who easily gets a job at the foundation using his natural and sincere charm which he applies to all equally. Many women misconstrue that charm for romantic interest. The second is Felix's acquaintance, musician Mickey Borden, who he hires to orchestrate his latest composition. Mickey has a chip on his shoulders about what life has dealt him, which he uses in turn as a reason for living a reckless life. The two men make each of the four daughters reexamine what she thinks she wants in life, or more precisely who she wants, which for all may be the same person.

Vicki's friend and attorney, Vernon Thorpe (Edward Everett Horton), secures a divorce for her, and Vicki and Vernon are soon married. Vicki's yen for wearing revealing clothes and a penchant for inviting ex-husband Tony to dinner soon provokes the easily-provoked Vernon into belting one on her himself. She goes to Tony's apartment, where Tony is entertaining Bonnie (Joan Wheeler), who is not all that entertained by the presence of Vicki, especially after Vicki shows every intent of moving in and staying. Vernon shows up with George (Frank McHugh) and Anita (Claire Dood), evidently along so F.

JogAlong Stroller is exactly what you think when you hear the name–a stroller you can jog along with. However, it's a stroller that embraces the body's natural movements when walking or running. Unlike typical strollers, the arms of a JogAlong stroller move to match your movement. The challenge was demonstrating this to customers in the visuals. Throughout development and communication of their innovative design, JogAlong used KeyShot for imagery, animations and interactive views of the stroller on their website.
KeyShot has been very helpful throughout the design process. In the early stages it allowed us to make quick changes in the CAD model and render it within a single day, whereas ordering and fitting up parts could have easily taken weeks. KeyShot helped increased the number of design iterations while shortening the overall process. Now, a year later, we are using KeyShot very heavily for the JogAlong website. The versatility of rendering single images, animations, and KeyShotVRs makes for a very immersive design.
1. Arm Animation (HOME page) – The first rendered image of the stroller is an animation showing the Jogalong's arms moving – this really highlights what sets this stroller apart from any other jogging stroller – ergonomic handles that move freely with your natural arm movement.
2. Triple Stroller VR (HOME page) – Putting all three of the included kits (jogging, casters, and bike trailer) into one interactive element allows the customer to compare the three kits side by side in a way that was never possible before.
3. How it Works (SHOP page) – KeyShot makes it very easy to replicate views of the different kits. We were able to quickly hide/unhide components to go from one kit to another, while reusing saved cameras to create the six renders very quickly.
4. Roll-in Animations (ERGONOMIC DESIGN page) – After looking at the initial page design with static images of the stroller, we felt it really needed some sort of "pop". That "pop" ended up as animations of the stroller rolling in from the side of the page.


Room was serviceable and comfortable, price was good. 15 minutes drive from Nizwa Fort and Souq.
Kitchen was helpful especially with kids around and lack of vegetarian options in Nizwa. Had a living room with TV. Stayed there for a couple of days. Mostly visiting places around Nizwa. We usually start from the hotel after breakfast and come back late noon for cooking lunch. After lunch we went around till dinner and returned back for sleeping.
The room was big, with a kitchen and living room in addition to the bedroom and bathroom. The breakfast was pretty good, basically what you would expect for the price of the hotel, and the staff will cook you some eggs if you want. The location worked well for us because it's about a 10 minute drive south of the base of Jebel Akhdar and 15 minutes north of Nizwa (by car of course). The staff were friendly and our stay was quiet.
Overall experience was good. Value for money property.
Lots of parking, staff were very friendly and facilitated a very early check in for us (about 9:30am!). We felt very well looked after. It was an easy drive to Nizwa fort and souk from the hotel. Breakfast was good. We had a 2 bedroom apartment and it was very large with two bathrooms.
The breakfast was much better than expected, and the staff was very friendly. Room was clean, and there was plenty of parking right out front. Two bedroom apartment was very large.

It was may 2nd staying by Al Karam. Nice,spacious,clean,quiet hotel. The only claim is that the quy at the reception was trying to cheat me on money when paying the bill. It was not fine,shouldn't have occured in such a nice, high standard hotel. The management should do something about it.
No warm water in the shower.
We needed one more hotel and decided spontaneously to stay there for one night. Nice hotel, we had a huge room with a living room, a kitchen, sleeping room and bathroom for ourselves. The bed was really comfortable. The staff was friendly and the breakfast one of the best one on our whole 12-day trip through Oman. We were the only ones and it had everything we needed, we especially liked the huge variety of fresh fruit.
Reception did not have any information on near tourist sites.
The room was clean and there was a kitchen with small cooking possibility.
Less options for restaurants near the area.
Comfortable rooms and living space.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was big and comfortable. We really appreciated the breakfast.
The hose in one of the showers was broken.
I stayed here after two years. The apartment was clean and beds comfortable. Breakfast was simple. I had some fruits and eggs.
The apartment was huge. We were only two person for one night therefore we could not really use it. Breakfast was nice.
There is no special paved road to the hotel, so it is hard to see where you need to make a turn at night. Even if the hotel is 100m from the road and you can see it, you do not know where to turn unless you shine the car lights in that direction. The bed was a bit too firm for some members of my party.
reasonably cheap for Nizwa, very close to Nizwa Mall and the highway. A comfortable blanket. Spacious parking lot. The staff provided a hair dryer on request.
