Trump Is Struggling To Stay Calm On Russia, One Morning Call At A Time
Dropcap the popularization of the “ideal measure” has led to advice such as “Increase font size for large screens and reduce font size for small screens.” While a good measure does improve the reading experience, it’s only one rule for good typography. Another rule is to maintain a comfortable font size.

A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli, but the Little Blind Text didn’t listen.
On her way she met a copy. The copy warned the Little Blind Text, that where it came from it would have been rewritten a thousand times and everything that was left from its origin would be the word “and” and the Little Blind Text should turn around and return to its own, safe country.
A wonderful serenity has taken possession of my entire soul, like these sweet mornings of spring which I enjoy with my whole heart. I am alone, and feel the charm of existence in this spot, which was created for the bliss of souls like mine. I am so happy, my dear friend, so absorbed in the exquisite sense of mere tranquil existence, that I neglect my talents.
But nothing the copy said could convince her and so it didn’t take long until a few insidious Copy Writers ambushed her, made her drunk with Longe and Parole and dragged her into their agency, where they abused her for their projects again and again. And if she hasn’t been rewritten, then they are still using her.

A collection of textile samples lay spread out on the table – Samsa was a travelling salesman – and above it there hung a picture that he had recently cut out of an illustrated magazine and housed in a nice, gilded frame. It showed a lady fitted out with a fur hat and fur boa who sat upright, raising a heavy fur muff that covered the whole of her lower arm towards the viewer.
Gregor then turned to look out the window at the dull weather. Drops of rain could be heard hitting the pane, which made him feel quite sad. “How about if I sleep a little bit longer and forget all this nonsense”, he thought, but that was something he was unable to do because he was used to sleeping on his right, and in his present state couldn’t get into that position. However hard he threw himself onto his right, he always rolled back to where he was.
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence.
One morning, when Gregor Samsa woke from troubled dreams, he found himself transformed in his bed into a horrible vermin. He lay on his armour-like back, and if he lifted his head a little he could see his brown belly, slightly domed and divided by arches into stiff sections.

The cryptocurrency market is stabilising after a turbulent start to the week, gaining nearly $89 billion and pushing the total market cap to $2.61 trillion.
Bitcoin rebounded above $80,000, with analysts suggesting a breakout past $82,761 could lead to $85,000, supported by strong investor confidence.
In the U.S., Speaker Mike Johnson urged patience, saying, “People need to be patient in waiting to see what President Trump was planning for the economy.”
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reassured investors, stating, “The recent market volatility was a transitory period, not a trend or a long-term one.”
Earlier in the week, crypto markets saw nearly $1 billion in liquidations as Bitcoin and Ethereum hit monthly lows.
However, stability returned, and in the past 24 hours, total liquidations reached $384.4 million—$138.2 million from long positions and $246.2 million from short positions.
Despite the recovery, analysts remain cautious. While reduced geopolitical risks and trade tensions have helped, inflation data, Federal Reserve policies, and ongoing global uncertainties could still impact markets.
The coming weeks will determine whether the market sustains its gains or faces renewed volatility.
In a move to support Nigeria’s transition to renewable energy, global technology giant Huawei has collaborated with the Office of the Head of the Civil Service and the Ministry of Power to equip Nigerian civil servants with essential skills in the green energy sector.
The two-day training programme theme “Green Energy and Solar Power Training” held in Abuja, targeted Directors of Engineering Departments across various ministries and agencies, aiming to enhance their knowledge of solar energy technologies and further champion its adoption in Nigeria. Participants were trained in making informed decisions on solar product selection, system maintenance, and ensuring energy efficiency in government operations.
Speaking at the opening of the training, Minister of Power Chief Adebayo Adelabu, represented by Permanent Secretary Alhaji Mahumuda Mamman, highlighted Huawei’s critical role in advancing renewable energy solutions.
“Huawei, as a global leader in technology and innovation, has been instrumental in making solar energy more efficient, scalable, and accessible,” Adelabu stated.
“Their involvement in this programme reflects their commitment not only to technological advancement but also to the education and empowerment of Nigeria’s energy leaders.”
Adelabu expressed confidence that the training would equip participants with valuable skills that would benefit their careers and contribute to Nigeria’s goal of energy independence and sustainability.
“The success of our energy transition depends on collaboration—between government, industry, and the technology sector,” he added.
“By working together, we can develop the infrastructure, policies, and human capital needed to accelerate Nigeria’s shift to a green energy economy.”
In his welcome remarks,Huawei Board Director Jim Zhang underscored the company’s longstanding presence in Nigeria, emphasising its contributions to the country’s digital and energy sectors.
“A lot of people know Huawei for our equipment, headsets, and laptops. However, we also provide digital power solutions, smart photovoltaic (PV) systems, and energy storage solutions (ESS) in Nigeria,” Zhang said.
He noted that Huawei has been in Nigeria for 26 years, operating two headquarters in Lagos and Abuja, alongside a training centre, an operations centre, and an innovation hub.
“We have already supplied nearly 100 megawatts of power through our smart PV and ESS systems in Nigeria,” Zhang revealed.
“We also collaborate with several universities, offering training programmes for students and professionals.”
Zhang reaffirmed Huawei’s commitment to working closely with the Nigerian government and businesses to address electricity challenges and enhance energy efficiency.
Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs Didi Esther Walson-Jack, represented by Permanent Secretary Dr Danjuma Usman Kalba, commended Huawei’s efforts in training civil servants. She stressed the importance of institutionalising such initiatives to ensure continuous capacity building in the public sector.
“We cannot thank Huawei enough for making itself available and organising this training,” Walson-Jack said.
“We hope this will become a continuous initiative within the civil service.”
She further emphasised the economic and environmental benefits of renewable energy, urging ministries and agencies to align their strategies with global sustainability policies.
“The world is increasingly focusing on climate change and its impact. It is essential that Nigeria aligns with global renewable energy policies,” she said.
“I encourage participants to seize this opportunity to understand solar energy systems, particularly their maintenance and practical applications.”
The 2-day training program features technical sessions tailored to enhance participants knowledge and capabilities in solar power, as well as site visits to Huawei-implemented project sites as part of the effort to equip participants with practical knowledge and drive the nation towards a sustainable and energy-efficient future.

Oil marketers have cried out about the negative impacts of unstable prices of Premium Motor Spirit or petrol in the country on their businesses.
President of the Petroleum Products Retail Outlets Owners Association of Nigeria (PETROAN), Billy Gilly-Harris raised concern during Channels Television’s Business Morning on Tuesday.
According to him, fluctuating petrol prices in the last few weeks are constituting potential threats to the survival of businesses of its members.
Gilly-Harris’ concern comes on the heels of ongoign price war between the Dangote Refinery and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company Limited (NNPCL).
Following the announcement of a price cut by the Dangote Refinery by N65 at the ex-depot price, the retail price at filling stations affiliated with Dangote dropped from N925-N930 to N860.
No sooner after, the NNPCL also reduced its price at its retail stations, further deepening rivalry between the two dominant players.
Billy-Harris said “In our consistently weekly reviews, we discovered that the size of loss, and the possibility of most of us getting out of business is glaring at us in the face. Because in today’s Nigeria, we have collaborative efforts being made between all the stakeholders, and we reach out to one another to know how the businesses are doing.
“As much as we are making efforts to make sure that Nigerians have product affordability from our end as the last mile in the industry, we also want to stay afloat and liquid.
“The challenge we have is that we buy products at a price today, and before the close of business, the price has reduced. We thought there should be a mechanism by which prices are analysed and ensure it doesn’t impact negatively on the industry.
“I have always said that every business can only survive by making some minimal profits that are commensurate to the price of paying the cost of doing business.
“We are fully aware that the international prices of crude oil and other related expenses are also being reduced. But when we invest to buy products at say N880, we are not going to sell at that price. And if such products become reduced to N840, N850, N860 or even N870 per litre, it becomes challenging how we will be able to recover our costs.”
Commenting on price monopoly in the downstream sector, Gilly-Harris said its members can either import products or buy from local refineries, however, it would not sell products at the expense of the survival of PETROAN members’ businesses.
He said “Yes, we have been in the forefront of always implementing what stakeholders agree. We have the capacity to import our products. We also have the capacity to buy locally refined products. But we see that prices consistently shift up or down, and there is no clear business consultation on how this should be done. That is why we said the NMDPRA and the consumer protection agency should swing into action and be able to work together with other stakeholders so that we can be able to have a stable market and a stable price.”
