We often see glass in daily life, because glass is not many years ago glass, the development of modern, glass materials and glass structure has changed a lot, the following to introduce the composition of glass and glass by structure of what kind of information.
(1) Plain glass (Na2SiO3, CaSiO3, SiO2 or Na2O.CaO.6SiO2)
(2) Quartz glass (glass made from pure quartz as the main raw material, ingredient siO2 only)
(3) Tempered glass (same as ordinary glass composition)
(4) Potassium Glass (K2O, CaO, SiO2)
(5) Borate glass (SiO2, B2O3)
6 Colored glass in the (ordinary glass manufacturing process to add some metal oxides.)
Cu2O – Red; CuO – Blue-green; CdO – Light yellow; CO2O3 – Blue; Ni2O3 – Ink Green; MnO2 – Purple; Colloid Au – Red; Colloid Ag – Yellow)
(7) Color-changing glass (advanced colored glass with oxides of rare earth elements as a colorant)
(8) Optical glass (in the ordinary bosilicate glass raw materials to add a small amount of light-sensitive substances, such as AgCl, AgBr, etc., and then add a very small amount of sensitization agent, such as CuO, so that the glass becomes more sensitive to light)
(9) Rainbow glass (made from large amounts of fluoride, a small amount of sensitizer and bromide in ordinary glass raw materials)
(10) Protective glass (in the ordinary glass manufacturing process to add appropriate auxiliary materials, so that it has to prevent strong light, strong heat or radiation lines through the function of protecting personal safety. such as gray – heavy chromate, iron oxide absorbs ultraviolet light and partial visible light; blue-green – nickel oxide, ferro-iron oxide absorbs infrared and partial visible light; lead glass – lead oxide absorbs X-rays and r-rays; dark blue – heavy chromate, ferro-iron oxide absorbs ultraviolet light, infrared and most visible light
Add cadmium oxide and boron oxide to absorb neutron streams.
(11) microcrystalline glass (also known as crystalline glass or glass ceramics, is in ordinary glass added gold, silver, copper and other crystal cores made, instead of stainless steel and gemstones, as a radar cover and missile head, etc.).
(12) Fiberglass (fibres pulled or blown from molten glass with diameters ranging from several microns to several thousand microns, the same composition as glass)
(13) Glass wire (i.e. long fiberglass) (14) Reinforced plastic streatin of glass steel (reinforced plastic smed with a steel strength similar to that obtained by the compound ingress of epoxy resin and fiberglass.)
(15) Cellulose film made from viscose solution)
(16) Water glass (Na2SiO3) water solution, named for the same part of the components in ordinary glass)
(17) Metal glass (glass-state metal, generally made from the rapid cooling of molten metal)
(18) Fluorite (fluorite) (colorless transparent CaF2, used as a prism and a permeable mirror in optical instruments)
(19) Plexiglass (polymethyl acrylates) In addition to the glass composition, I think you want to know the following information.
1, tempered glass: it is ordinary flat glass after reprocessing into a pre-stressed glass: tempered glass compared to ordinary flat glass, with two major characteristics:1) The former is several times stronger than the latter, the degree of tensile is more than 3 times that of the latter, and the resistance is more than 5 times that of the latter2) Tempered glass is not easy to break, even if broken will be broken in the form of particles without sharp angle, greatly reduced damage to the human body
2, frosted glass: it is also in the ordinary flat glass on top of the re-matting processing, the general thickness of more than 9 percent, to 5, 6 percent thickness with more
3, blast glass: performance is basically similar to frosted glass, different sanding for blasting, because the two visually similar, many owners, even decoration professionals are mixed them together
4, embossed glass: is the use of pressure-rolling method manufactured a flat glass, its biggest feature is opaque light, more used in the bathroom and other decoration areas
5, clamp glass: is the use of pressure-rolling method, wire or metal mesh embedded in the glass plate made of a kind of impact-resistant flat glass, when hit will only form a radiation-like crack and not fall injury.
Therefore, it is mostly used in high-rise buildings and high-volatility factories:
6, hollow glass: the use of glue method to maintain a certain interval between two pieces of glass, the interval is dry air, the surrounding sealed material, mainly used in the soundproofing requirements of the decoration works.
7, laminated glass: laminated glass is generally composed of two pieces of ordinary flat glass (can also be tempered glass or other special glass) and glass between the plexicoglue layer when damaged, the debris is still glued to the adhesive layer, to avoid debris splash damage to the human body, more for safety requirements of decoration projects
8, bulletproof glass: in fact, is a kind of laminated glass, but the composition of the glass more use of higher strength of tempered glass, and the number of laminates is relatively large.More used in banks or luxury homes and other very high security requirements of the decoration works
9, hot curved glass: by the flat glass heating softening in the mold molding, and then by annealing made of surface glass: in some high-level decoration appears more and more frequently, need to book, no spot
10, glass brick: glass brick production process is basically the same as flat glass, the difference is the molding method of which is dry air, more used for decorative items or has insulation requirements in the light transmission shape.
11, glass paper: also known as glass film, with a variety of colors and colors: according to the performance of the paper film, different performance: most of the insulation, anti-infrared, anti-ultraviolet, explosion-proof and other effects

Chapter 1: A new place
Chapter Text
Schools, especially wizarding schools, loved to show off. While attending Ilvermorny you'd faced off against the other American schools; Sǫ' Doo Nidisidí, in Arizona, Angakkuq, in Alaska, and Castelobruxo, in South America. Now your brilliant, and you meant that in the least flattering way possible, Headmaster had decided to ship off some of Ilvermorny's best to its sister school. Hogwarts.
You were flattered to be included with the star quidditch players and potion wizzes, but the sudden move was irritating. You had classes, friends, a garden to take care of, back home. But here you were sitting outside a bustling mess hall, thousands of miles away from home.
"Attention, attention," A booming voice rang out. "As some of you know, today is a very special day for today we welcome not only our newest class but young witches and wizards from afar as well. Now, please welcome our new friends from Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry!"
That was your cue. Your designated chaperone, Professor McDougal, gathered you all up with a wave of her hand. In an almost perfect line you stepped into the hall and felt a hundred eyes on you. The hall was amazing, thousands of candles floated above you and a delicious smelling feast was laid out. Oh man. . . This place was gonna make you fat.
"These students have travelled far to be here with us today so I expect you to treat them as you would treat any other pupil here at Hogwarts. As such they're going to be sorted into our houses. I think you'll find they're very similar to your own. As an added treat, this year, in the spirit of cooperation and making lasting bonds, all students will be allowed to sit wherever they please in the Great Hall. I hope you will all remember that despite our different houses, skin colours, class, or whether you enjoy strawberry or rhubarb jam on your toast, we are all the same." A great cheer erupted through the hall at his words. ". . . Now, Professor McGonagall, if you'd please." Dumbledore's voice was clear and even, he looked, to you, sort of like Gandalf from LOTR. You wondered if any of the Hogwarts students thought the same. McGonagall, on the other hand, looked like the textbook definition of a headmistress. Her wrinkled mouth was set in a line as she ushered your group onto the stage one by one.
Hayley Franklin, a sixth year and your team's seeker, was sorted into Gryffindor. Christian Anderson, the champion of Ilvermorny's fifth year potion brewing contest was sorted into Ravenclaw. And so on and so on… When it your turn the nervousness had barely worn off. You walked onto the stage, in front of all those eyes, and sat down.
As soon as McGonagall grabbed the hat and held it over you it shouted out- "Slytherin!" You glanced up, was it supposed to go so fast? It hadn't even touched you yet. McGonagall looked equally surprised but she shook it off, gesturing towards the table to the far right. You couldn't help noticing that table looked a bit. . . less friendly than the rest. The one in the middle however looked rambunctious. It wouldn't be too bad to just sit over there. . . right?
Sheepishly you settled next to Hayley. "Hey."
"Hey," She greeted. "Guys this is (y/n) Wolfsbane, she's in my grade. She's in Horned Serpent, I'm in Wampus, it's a kind of-"
"It's a large black cat with six legs, some people say it looks like a giant panther." A girl piped up. She had large brown eyes and even bigger hair. "Ah. . . Sorry. I did a bit of research when I heard you all were coming."
"That's Hermione for you," A redheaded boy chuckled. He held his hand out to you introducing himself as Ron Weasley. The others around you followed suit. There was Hermione, Neville, Ginny, Seamus, and Harry Potter. You glanced at Hayley but stayed quiet. You all knew who Harry was already.
"It's nice to meet you all. Are you guys sixth years like us?"
"Nah," Said Ron. "We're fifth years, Ginny is a fourth. My brothers are in seventh but they're not-"
"Not what?" Two voices said in unison. "Certainly not absent. We may be tardy- Very tardy- But we're here!" The two boys were tall and lanky with the same freckles as the other two gingers at the table. They plopped down next to you without even glancing over.
"So what did we miss?" The one closest to you asked.
"Well if you looked around before stuffing your face you'd might notice something?" Said Ginny, gesturing towards you and Hayley. The brother next to you turned and gave you an overdramatically surprised expression, wide brown eyes and a hand over his heart.
"Where did you guys come from? You look a little old for first years!"
"George they're the transfer students. Really, its been all over the Daily Prophet."
"Look," Started Fred. "Time spent reading-"
"Is time wasted." George finished. You couldn't help snorting at that.
"How did you guys make it past year one again?"
"Wow," Gasped George. "Are all Americans this ruthless?"
"Nah," Hayley hummed around a mouthful of food. "Some are worse. Have you seen our president?" The entire table burst out laughing. So hard, in fact, that you almost missed Dumbledore's next words.
"Now, one final announcement! We have a new defence against the dark arts teacher. Please welcome Professor Dolores Umbridge."
"Uh. . . Hey do your DADA teachers always look like. . . That?" You whispered, completely ignoring the woman's speech.
"Eh, Don't worry, luv, they usually only last a year anyways." George told you conspiratorially. "I mean, we did have The Dark Lord as a teacher-"
"Then Lockhart, that prick,"
"Then a werewolf,"
"And last year we did have that death eater, Crouch's son, who kidnapped and disguised himself as our teacher."
"So- Could be worse!"
You looked between everyone at the table, hoping this was a joke. To no avail. "Okay," You chuckled. "Ya'll are kinda fucked up, huh?"
Chapter 2: Potions
Chapter Text
You looked around the room listlessly. You'd always hated the first day of classes and now you had the added bonus of not knowing anyone in the room. In any other subject you'd find yourself a little corner in the back, but this was potions so you settled into the front row. You had already gotten your supplies out when two people plopped down on either side of you.
"What are you doing here?" Asked Fred. "Snuck into seventh year potions, have you?"
"I can understand, we are much more entertaining than the sixth years." Added George.
No sooner had you opened your mouth to respond did a tall man come sweeping into the room. Professor Snape reminded you of a large bat with his giant trailing black robe. The class fell silent at his entrance. When he reached the front of the room Snape's eyes fell on you.
"Miss Wolfsbane. I had heard you'd be joining my class. . ." He turned to the rest of the students. "For those with absolutely no knowledge of the world of potions," He stared pointedly at the Weasleys, "Miss Wolfsbane is the creator of the Wolfsbane potion. Which does . . . ?"
A few hands shot into the air and Snape called on a Slytherin in the back.
"It stops a werewolf from transforming if they drink it before the full moon."
"Very good, Victor. Ten points to Slytherin. The Wolfsbane potion must be imbibed each day before the full moon or it will have no effect. Today, however, we will be making a simple fire breathing potion as not all of you are competent enough to attempt Miss Wolfsbane's creation." Snape continued on, telling the class which pages to turn to and what ingredients you'd need.
"Blimey, (y/n) you coulda told us you were famous, eh?" Fred chastised you.
You chuckled at that. "I'm not famous. I just tried to make something new and it worked out." You focused on the work in front of you. The fire breathing potion, Exalius, was a delicate mixture. Done correctly it resembled a hot cup of bourbon and smelled like apple cider and eucalyptus. However, something near you was beginning to smell like burning hair.
With a start you saw Fred and George about to add a grey powder to a cauldron filled with, what looked like, tar. "No, no no. Put that down."
The Weasleys look like deer in the headlights.
"S' Wormwood right?"
"No. It's diced worms. Here let me help, okay?" They craned their heads to watch as you began to tweak the potion. Slowly the color turned somewhat back to normal. It did still stink a bit but for a rescue mission you considered it a success. You were just letting out a relieved sigh when a shadow was cast over the three of you.
"And why, miss Wolfsbane, were you helping the Weasleys with their potion?"
"Well I'd already finished mine and saw that they were about to add powdered wormwood instead of diced worms. And these are new shoes, so I decided to intervene."
To the twin's surprise the corner of Snape's mouth twitched upward briefly. "Very well, ten points to Slytherin for your astute observation. Though I expect your potion to be perfect, you'll be drinking it at the end of class."
And it was. You downed the potion like a shot and after a second blew out a long slender flame. Snape held up a metal stirrer and looked almost pleased when it melted. He dismissed the class at that, throwing in a few more points to Slytherin, and you all filed out the door. A second later you felt the twins at your side again.
"Thanks for that." Fred grinned, patting you on the back.
"Yeah, ol' Snape woulda taken a few hundred points offa us if we had set fire to the classroom again." Agreed George. He beamed at you, only slightly confused when you immediately flicked your gaze away.
"No problem, guys. Wormwood would have turned it into lava, so I was a bit worried." You chuckled.
"Eh, wormwood, diced worms, same thing."
"I guess they do both have the word 'worm' in them. Though, one is goopy and one is dry."
"See," Said Fred, patting you on the back. "She's a miracle, George! First day of the new year and we sit next to the smartest girl in class."
"Oh, no. I only know those two potions. I'm awful at everything else." The twins gave you a shocked look and you couldn't help bursting into laughter. "Kidding, sorry." They rolled their eyes but couldn't keep the matching smiles off their faces. Smiles that only widened when the three of you tried to fit through one door at the same time.
"You following us, new girl?" Asked George as he slipped through the door.
"Just heading to my next class."
"Oh, going to Hagrid's?"
"Hm? I'm heading to care of magical creatures… Then lunch, alchemy, defense against the dark arts, and then apparition."
"Oh? Us too, well, care of magical creatures and lunch at least. You sure you're not a seventh year?" George asked.
"Well I'm graduating a year early. I spend my summers at Ilvermorny so I took advantage and studied while I could."
"Sheesh- you don't go home?"
The twins immediately knew they had said something wrong. Your eyes were glued to the floor and your lips opened and parted as you searched to find the right words. "I don't really have a place to go during breaks. I rather not talk about it if you don't mind."
And the twins didn't mention it again the entire walk down to the castle grounds. Instead they asked you random questions about America.
What do you call muggles over there again?
No-Majes, but that's kinda seen as a slur now.
Your muggle president as bad as everyone says?
You have no idea. The magical community hasn't even told him we exist. Don't think we've done that since Bush.
Is that why you came over here?
Partially? McDougall didn't really give me a choice. She wanted to send the "advanced" kids over to make a good impression.
The questions made the walk go faster and by the end you felt comfortable with the two boys. Something that you needed, as the first lesson of the class required groups. Specifically groups that needed to dangle one of their members over an Auguries nest. And you were voted, two against one, the dumbass who was getting wingardium leviosa'd up a tree.

Tottenham Hotspur forward Heung-Min Son scored the first goal of Jose Mourinho's reign.
Tottenham Hotspur boss Jose Mourinho has said at his latest press conference, which was broadcast on the club's official Youtube channel, that he is already in love with Heung-Min Son.
Son has started every game that Mourinho has taken charge of at Tottenham so far, and he scored the first goal of the Portuguese boss's reign.
The South Korean has been a constant threat going forward in Tottenham's last three matches, with his form catching the eye.
Son also won the Asian Player of the Year for the third successive time this week.
And Mourinho said: "I should start with congratulating Son for the third time in a row, Asian Player of the Year.
"I am here for 12 days, I am in love with that guy so I can imagine the people that is here with him for three, four, five years. He's a fantastic player and fantastic boy."
Son looks set to continue in Tottenham's starting line-up tomorrow, when Mourinho's side take on Manchester United.
Spurs have been so dangerous going forward since Mourinho came in, after scoring 10 goals in the three matches since his arrival.
Mourinho is unlikely to want to disrupt Tottenham's attack, with Harry Kane and Dele Alli also in excellent form.
If Spurs can beat United they could move even closer to the top four, after already closing the gap down to six points.

GAINSBOROUGH TRINITY have started the search for a new manager after boss Dominic Roma stepped down, saying he could not give the role the focus it needed.
Roma and his assistant, ex-Matlock Town boss Martin Foster, took caretaker charge of the club last March following the departure of long-serving boss Steve Housham.
Roma, a former Trinity captain, kept Gainsborough in the National League North and was then confirmed as the club's permanent boss following the final day win over Bradford Park Avenue.
However, it's been another tough season for Trinity and they currently sit 17th and just four points above the relegation places after Saturday's defeat to Alfreton Town.
Roma, who was given a vote of confidence by chairman Richard Kane just before Christmas, has decided to leave the club on his own terms.
The ex-Sheffield United youngster, who works as a teacher, has found it difficult to juggle his responsibilities and decided to resign from his role as Trinity boss after the Alfreton defeat. Assistant Foster has also left the club.
Roma told Trinity's website: "It is obviously with a heavy heart I make the decision to step down with immediate effect from my role as manager at Gainsborough Trinity Football Club.
"For a long time this football club, this town has been a part of my life. I at this moment in time, I just cannot give every aspect of my life the attention it deserves and something just had to give.
"It has been an honour and a privilege to pull on the shirt and to manage this fantastic club and although I am disappointed results and performances have not always been to the standard I would have hoped, it is not for want of trying.
"I wish the chairman, the board, the club and the supporters every success for the future, and I genuinely mean it when I say the Gainsborough results will be the first I look for on a Saturday afternoon."
A club statement added: "All associated with the football club would like to wish Dom and Martin all the best for the future and thank them for all of their work assembling a bright young side that hopefully the new manager will be able to mould and evolve into a more consistent National League North outfit.
"The board have moved quickly to place Adam Quinn and Matt Wilson in temporary charge ahead of another crucial game, away at Bradford Park Avenue on Saturday."

White on white A. Valero and A. Artero
«I've broken the blue ties and limits of color. Dive into white and nothing in his infinite » K. Malevich .
White is one of the great contradictions , not only of art but of perception in general. A color , looking empty , exemplifies the fullest ; sunlight pure , instead of giving us heat , may also freeze ; the color that is not physically the union of all the colors. For further course opposite to black .
Have joined the two of us but not contemporary works and certainly made with different spirits , to show that although he broke a lance for the white was Malevich in 1918 , is an expression that is still in force .
Antonio Artero film was «no shot » as their record says , in 1969. Continuous projection of light on the screen where you can dive to find what it is that has not been run .
The very Antonia Valero gives the origin of this series of works . «Blank moments , like years ago , a woman on the balcony all wrapped in white blanket .»
Cloth, gauze, objects are coated with a breath : When you are inside the room everything becomes fragile , I associate the white ice cream, but solid objects with your new coverage seem fluxes. As if pure light reflections it were , as if the screen was acquiring different formats throughout the screening.
Antonia Valero 's works invite us to look for his body , the textures in the fabrics , the volume objects , games that formulated the shadows as opposed to chromatic purity.
A. Artero and A. Valero were united by chance, the friendship between them for years. The result is a space that felt plastic and theoretically charged when we contemplate . In the catalog F. Castro Flórez says » Inhabiting those empty spaces , introduces in these rare forms of plastic loneliness, requires firm determination and , above all, the ability to listen , beyond the great noise of the world and the poetic » .
20 BABELIA . COUNTRY , April 28, 2001
WHITE, UTOPIA work obra
In 1969 , Antonio Artero , like an active member of the Situationist International did a film detournement in which, regardless of the film, the white light projected on the white screen . The meaning of this wink , which referred to the revolutionary attitude of Kasimir Malevich 's White on White , now lost. But there is always a glimmer of hope , or at least of nostalgia ; from her, Antonia Valero seeks to recover both the gesture and the spirit Artero enclosing , for which immerses the gallery space in a world in which the domestic objects are white, as if viewers could from scratch. But this is , again , Utopia . / JM
NOTE Look at the interest shown by calling Javier Maderuelo household objects to works of the exhibition. work
ABC Cultural / 31/ 19-5-2001.
A. Valero and A. Artero Gallery Pi i Margal . Madrid C / Augusto Figueroa, 9 to 31 May. From 30,000 to 450,000 pesetas.
WHEN dealing with contemporary art , we do an art border , browser limits. And limits are in color , the standards called achromatic . In the art of our time, the white and black are frequently used as mere supports for the deployment of the always superficial and misleading speech ; other times , they are used as a substance of eloquence. If you know you are using , an artist who decided to focus its work on the white has to show his courage , clarity of ideas and forms , materials, dimensions and locations that define the context of their work. And it is remarkable in contemporary art the number of those who dare . In just a few weeks are meeting in Madrid two exhibitions centered on white : in the collective of the Telefónica Foundation and individual Pi of the Gallery ; and also, Raquel Ponce and Belarde 20 , part of the above are also repertoires and white .
Malevich who was at the time reflected this reminder. Recall also that the classical precision Latinos had specific names for multiple sensations of white and have amazed our insecurity and lack of differentiation , let alone and immersed in that transmuted earth nuances that displays dozens of Eskimo peoples.
But let us refer to what is in this sample of Antonia Valero , which contained an intervention, also border due to Antonio Artero : a projection of continuous light. Tissues , gums , rubber, wire, etc. In all the works in this collection , the black and the materials that reflect the importance given hand . wrap , enhance and paint works, delineate their formats and define their dimensions. Are the limits of a domain in which emotionality of the bill is disappearing, and that purpose is precisely what most affective .
Valero gets here what you want, with harmony of shapes and
«IN all works
in this collection ,
white and materials that reflect

1/2 cup (90 grams) mayonnaise, such as Kewpie, or Korean mayo
1 tablespoon Korean soy bean paste (doenjang)
1 1/4 cups (300 grams) soy sauce
1/2 cup (30 grams) packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons maple syrup
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons Korean chile paste (gochujang)
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
6 grinds black pepper, or to taste
Pinch of sea salt or kosher salt
6 cloves garlic, grated
4 large spring onions or scallions, chopped finely
8 boneless chicken thighs, skin on
2 sweet potatoes
Vegetable oil, to brush lightly on the grill
2 ears corn, cut in half crosswise
15 chile threads, for garnish
Pinch of black sesame seeds, for garnish
Make sure your grill isn't too hot, as your chicken will burn on the outside before the insides are cooked all the way through. You may need to adjust your grill between medium and medium-high heat. Have your butcher debone the thighs for you, or simply use bone-in thighs--just adjust the cooking time accordingly. This mayo is great for dipping the chicken in as well as smearing on the corn. You'll want to make it to eat with French fries too.

E - Wheelz
E-Wheelz software is a globally deployable, integrated, workflow based end-to-end system starting from searching bus routes to book them online. This is a complete application for travelers as well as venders. Vendors provide the information like, available routes, timings, price, etc. Customers can book a ticket which is a five step process that includes Search Bus, Select Bus, Select Seats, Provide Customer Information and Make Payment.

Public defenders stand up to money bail
In response to a pair of major statewide developments in the fight to abolish money bail, San Francisco public defenders will file challenges in every criminal case in which bail is set. San Francisco Public Defender Jeff Adachi announced today that his office has filed 282 challenges in current felonies and misdemeanors since Oct. 10, representing 14 times the amount typically filed in the same period. Each challenge results in a hearing in which a judge must consider the defendant's financial circumstances and alternatives to incarceration rather than simply relying on a pre-set dollar amount.

Michelle Wolf's Netflix Display Canceled 3 Months After Its Premiere
Netflix has nixed comedian Michelle Wolf's chat exhibit just 3 months right after the 1st season commenced.
The clearly show, "The Break With Michelle Wolf," aired on Netflix weekly for 10 weeks around the summer season, showcasing a mix of her biting brand of stand-up, guiding-the-news-desk commentary and skits parodying every thing from Immigration and Customs Enforcement to accurate crime documentaries.
Netflix canceled Wolf's display together with a discuss show centered on one more well-known comic, "The Joel McHale Show."
With producing and contributing credits on "Late Evening With Seth Meyers" and "The Day-to-day Present With Trevor Noah," Wolf was now a power in the comedy planet. But her level of popularity skyrocketed immediately after her controversial overall performance as the host of the White Property Correspondents' Affiliation Evening meal in April.
In the course of the black-tie event, Wolf scorched the Trump administration with jokes on porn stars, nondisclosure agreements and White Home lies.
Many, which include President Donald Trump, identified the roast too vulgar, and the White Property Correspondents' Affiliation later on denounced Wolf's monologue. But Wolf defended her overall performance, telling NPR's "Fresh Air" that she was "glad I stuck to my guns."
"I do not know, it's possible I'm projecting this, but I feel sometimes they seem at a female and they consider, 'Oh, she'll be pleasant,' and if you have seen any of my comedy, you know that I don't ― I'm not," Wolf stated.
Netflix canceled Wolf's present as it bulks up its lineup of comedian-centered communicate exhibits, such as "Daily Show" alum Hasan Minhaj's "Patriot Act," "Norm Macdonald Has a Communicate Show" and "The Fix" with comedians Jimmy Carr, D.L. Hughley and Katherine Ryan.

Former World Championship-winning swimmer Filippo Magnini continues to await his fate in a doping case after judges at a hearing into the matter ruled that more time was needed to make a decision.
The 36-year-old Italian is facing an eight-year doping ban over accusations he used banned substances.
He has appeared before a court of the Italian National Anti-Doping Organisation (NADO), but at the end of a four-hour hearing, judges postponed their decision until November 6.
"I simply told the truth and now I'm calm," Magnini was reported as saying by AFP on leaving the court in Rome.
"We explained everything in detail.
"I'm happy because my lawyers have managed to bring out the truth.
"Sentencing has been postponed due to the complexity of the case."
A four-year ban has also been requested for fellow Italian swimmer Michele Santucci, a relay team-mate of Magnini.
It was reported last year that both swimmers would be investigated by the NADO for "use or attempted use of doping products".
This was part of a probe into nutritionist and doctor Guido Porcellini, who has since been banned for 30 years by the NADO for distributing illegal drugs.
In October 2017, ANSA reported that the case surrounded the suspected traffic of anabolic steroids and other banned substances from China.
Magnini responded to the reports on Twitter at the time, saying: "I believe that the probe is an obligation linked to the criminal investigation into Porcellini.
"Investigators have already established that I had nothing to do with this case.
"Let's be clear, thanks."
Magnini won the 100 metres freestyle titles at the long-course World Championships in 2005 and 2007, with the latter victory shared alongside Brent Hayden of Canada.
He also boasts two short-course relay world titles and an Olympic bronze in the 4x200m freestyle relay from Athens 2004, as well as 17 European gold medals across long-course and short-course events.
Twenty-nine-year-old Santucci won long-course World Championship bronze in the 4x100m freestyle relay in 2015.
In 2006, he won two junior world titles in relays.
Santucci was present at Magnini's hearing.
He faces his own hearing tomorrow.

In diplomacy, the interests of an individual nation largely determine the form of relations it maintains with other states. This gives credence to the notion that there is neither a permanent friend nor permanent enemy in international relations; rather, it is interests of a country which is permanent. In the pursuance of their national interests, diplomatic relations between Lagos and Moscow were formally established on November 25, 1960 soon after Nigeria's gaining in-dependence. The embassy of the Soviet Union was established in Lagos in 1961, while Nigeria established its embassy in Moscow in 1962. On December 26, 1991 the Soviet upper chamber under the chairmanship of A. Alim-shanov (Declaration № 142-H) decided to discontinue the Soviet Union existence as a state. This was in line with the outcome of the meeting of December 8, 1991 between Boris Yeltsin (Russia), Leonid Kravchuk (Ukraine) and Stalinislav Shushkevich (Belarus) that later came to be known as the Belovezha Accords of 1991. Russia, a prominent union republic of the for-mer Soviet Union, gained international recognition as the successor to the Soviet Union which thereafter took up both the assets and liabilities of the former Soviet Union. Nigeria-Russia Bilateral Relations (NRBR) had been developing over the years and cul-minated in the visit of Nigeria's President, Olusegun Obasanjo to Russia in 2001 and Russian President Dmitri Medvedev's visit to Nigeria in 2009. Undoubtedly, the NRBR has had both good and diffi cult experience. This paper is an assessment of NRBR and it provides answers to the questions of the desirability and necessity of strong Nigeria-Russia diplomatic ties. Besides, it makes recommendations on how the two countries can elevate their bilateral relations to a more functional cooperation in the key and strategic sectors.
Introduction Before and after the 1884-1885 Berlin Conference on Africa, the major European powers scrambled not only for relevance but also for dominance in Africa for the purpose of political and economic gains. Although the imperial Russia was at the conference but never a party to the balkanization of Africa during the Soviet era, its activities were centred on and joined with the Africans on their tortuous way to independence owing to its policy of equality and peaceful coexistence among all the peoples of the world. Moscow remains the only major power that has never colonized any country in Africa. Instead, it was active especially in giving impetus to the anti-colonial struggles. The Kremlin's moral and political repudiation of colonial domination was an essential catalyst to the eventual collapse of formal colonialism in Nigeria and in Africa at large. The initial principle of Russia's foreign policy toward Africa owed much to the view of V.I Lenin - equality and peace among all people of the world [1, p. 2] just like the biblical message of Moses to the Egyptian Pharaoh: "let my people go". It was this same message that Khrushchev (the former Soviet leader) took to the plenary meeting of the XVth session of the United Nations General assembly with a motion to end all forms of colonization by 1960. The passage of the motion led to the crumbling of colonialism, and sovereign African states began to emerge one after another and Nigeria took its turn to gain independence in 1960, a year that is generally noted as "Africa's year" [3]. Being a superpower in the atmosphere of the "cold war", the Soviet Union pursued such policy that would create its image of a champion for national liberation [4, р. 18], and … make Africa's presence on the international arena conspicuous, clearly noticed and appreciated [5]. The Soviet Union policy makers built into its foreign policy architecture a sensitive and positive response to assist Africa in building an egalitarian society for themselves. This came in form of aids and provision of infrastructural amenities. One can mention the Answan dam in Egypt, hydro energy plants in Guinea, Zambia, Mali and Madagascar, Ajaokuta steel rolling mills in Nigeria and other projects in various parts of Africa. The immediate recognition of Nigeria's sovereignty and independence, assistance to prevent the disintegration of Nigeria during the civil war (1967-1970) and the education of the Nigerians who had been deliberately kept untrained and uneducated by their colonialists marked the starting point from where the relations between Nigeria and Russia grew. Emergence of Russian Foreign Policy According to the 1993 foreign policy concept, Russia is to be a great power with the following foreign policy objectives: ● Ensuring national security through diplomacy ● Protecting the sovereignty and unity of the state with special emphasis on border stability, protecting the rights of Russians abroad, providing favourable external conditions for internal democratic reforms ● Mobilizing international assistance for the establishment of the Russian market economy and assisting Russian exporters ● Furthering integration of the Commonwealth of Independent States ● Pursuing benefi cial relations with "nearby foreign states", including those in central Europe ● Building relations with countries that have resolved problems similar to those Russia faces ● Ensuring a role for Russia as a great power ● Enhancing ties with Asian Pacifi c countries so as to balance relations with the West ● Playing an active role in safeguarding the human rights of the 25 million ethnic Russians who found themselves in foreign lands after the break-up of the Soviet Union ● Pursuing a policy of collective security within the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) and support for reduction in nuclear arsenal and ● Domestic military reforms 1 . Until his retirement from offi ce and from politics in 1999, Boris Yeltsin, as the fi rst democratically elected president of the Russian Federation, maintained that the Russian foreign policy would be non-confrontational and would follow the principle of 'real partnership' in all directions 2 . In his efforts to stabilize and grow the Russian economy, Yeltsin focused on the relations with specific countries and regions: Europe, China, India, Japan, and Latin America. Africa was obviously missing in the directions to which he navigated his foreign relations, but with Putin and subsequently Medvedev (2008-2012) in offi ce, Russia-Africa in general and Russia-Nigeria relations in particular began to change. Nigeria's Foreign Policy An overview of Nigeria's foreign policy from gaining independence until now has received the attention of scholars, career diplomats and top government functionaries. The policy is generally observed as put together by Ignatius Olisemeka (2008), the former Nigerian External Affairs Minister, that Africa has always been the centrepiece of the Nigerian foreign policy, and this policy has been consistent and continuous. Victor Chibundu [6, р. 6] also remarked that the emphasis, style and implementation of the policy for many reasons have varied from one government to another. Both of them, however, agreed that the essentials and fundamentals of Nigeria's foreign policy have remained steadfast. All these are attributable to the foundation laid by the architects of Nigeria's foreign policy during the fi rst republic. Among them are the following: Jaja Anucha Wachukwu (Nigeria fi rst Foreign Minister), Sir Abubarkar Tafawa Balewa (Prime Minister of Nigeria 1960-1966) and Dr. Nnamdi Azikwe (Nigerian fi rst President). Nigeria's foreign policy evolved from the ideas put together by its early political, intellectual and foreign affairs experts. Their intention is to project Nigeria to play a major role in world affairs in general and Africa in particular. The social factors, economic demands, religious affi nities, security needs and dimensions of global politics have reshaped Nigeria's view on foreign relations which made it establish contacts and form allies with other nations beyond the borders of Africa among which Russia is prominent. Nigeria-USSR Relations in 1960-1991 During that period the main interest of the Soviet Union was to expand its political infl uence among the countries of Africa and have more states converted into socialist-oriented nations in the then ideologically polarized world that was popularly referred to as the cold war. Nigeria being a capitalist state was not inclined to change its orientation. Its colonial master and allies were opposed to Nigeria and any of its former colonies having cordial relationship with Russia which they came to identify as a strong iron curtain and which should not be allowed a space of further expansion in Africa. This situation brings the Nigeria-Russia relationship into what Onafowokan (2010) as cited by Agubamah (2014) describes as a lukewarm relationship. The Balewa-led administration was particularly intolerant toward Russia on the ideological ground. Any manifestation of or link to the communist ideology was met with censorship and repression. Regardless of that, certain groups emerged at that time in Nigeria, which describe themselves as "the progressives". They propagated the communist ideology and principles. Prime among their agitations was "free and compulsory primary and secondary education for all Nigerians" as the case was in the then Soviet Union. These groups were gaining grounds particularly among trade and student union leaders. They engaged in enlightening the public on good governance. Their activities triggered some level of resistance against certain government policies by some labour leaders particularly in the academics. The terms 'bourgeois' and 'peasant' started to grow and became frequent and fashionable in their vocabularies just as 'perestroika' and 'glasnost' in the recent past. The link between these radical groups and Moscow began to grow as scholarships were doled out to them and their sympathizers began to study in Soviets' tertiary institutions. Segun Odunuga (the fi rst Professor of Russian Studies in Africa) was one of the benefi ciaries of the scholarships and he comments on Nigeria-Russia relationship of the early 1960s as follows: "The Nigerian government didn't want people to go to Russia at the time. Russia was not the place to go then. In fact, it was after I got to Moscow that I wrote my father to inform him that I was in Moscow… incidentally, just before the postman came to deliver my parcel, a CID man (Criminal Investigative Department) was there interrogating my father on my whereabouts" … people are not supposed to go to Moscow [7, p. 12]. This affi rms the opinion of Onafowokan reference to the attitude of the Nigerian government toward Russia at that time. Back then, the Nigerian press was entirely in the hands of the government and it was made to serve as a strong instrument of propaganda. This was well used to the effect of projecting the image of Russia in a manner that makes it not only unappealing but also unfriendly. It was so terrible that Russia was described as 'evil' or "kingdom of darkness". Russian people were portrayed to be 'wicked', 'unfriendly' and 'callous'. The effect of this on Nigerians who became so fearful and frightened was to keep away from any dealings with Russia in either commerce or culture. This attitude seems to linger on for a very long time in the minds of people perhaps till date. This gives explanation to the success of the western induced unfriendly propaganda against Russia in Nigeria during the early and mid-1960s. In contrast to this, the nations like the United Kingdom, the United States of America, France, Italy, Spain and other countries in Western Europe at large enjoyed positive propaganda which made them seem as ideal and friendly. They are described in the Yoruba language as 'ilu oyinbo' or 'ilu oba' (the land of the king). In fact, they are referred to and honoured so due to the positive and friendly propaganda in their favour. It was generally considered a rare opportunity for outstanding success and comfort to be in these countries. The system of governance in most African countries including Nigeria was fashioned after their former colonialists even in a manner that gives preference to the interests of the colonial masters. With this mindset of the Nigerians and their government, the environment was not conducive to friendly Nigeria- Russia relations. Nigeria got involved in a civil war (1967-1970) which nearly tore the country apart. During this time, the main allies of Nigeria were unwilling to provide military assistance due to the conceived economic advantages that were to serve the national interests of their countries. Nigeria desperately needed weapons to stop the seceding Biafra. At this very crucial time in the history of the country, Russia rose to the need of the time and did not only supply weapons to the Nigerian armed forces but also deployed military and other technical personnel to aid in the use of the weapons which resulted in the defeat of the seceding Biafra army. It was this that kept Nigeria together again. Many scholars [8; 9] have argued that the continuous corporate existence of Nigeria as a sovereign state owes much to the timely assistance provided by Russia during this Nigeria's trying period. Thus, Nigeria-Russia relations took a different look. By the time the civil war ended in 1970, in the words of Agubamah (2014), "Nigeria had become an economic partner as it had opened its doors to other Russian products and aside of that many contracts were awarded to Russian fi rms..." Since then, the bilateral relations of Nigeria and Russia have grown and witnessed cooperation on metallurgy and petroleum industries, geological prospecting, public health services and personnel training. There were signed more than 15 joint agreements, including the agreement on air communication in 1967, the agreement on economic, scientifi c and technical cooperation in 1968, an agreement on cultural cooperation in 1970, the trade agreement in 1987, and agreement on cooperation against narcotics in 1990. One should particularly mention the Russian technical assistance in the geological prospecting works on metallurgical raw materials: iron ore, coal, and non-metallic raw material 1 . Nigeria-Russia Relations 1991 - to date The 1991 declaration of the disintegration of the Soviet Union brought an end to the 74 years of the Soviet rule which moved the 'cold war' to the heap of history. Russia emerged as an independent sovereign state, so did the other fourteen union republics that constituted the then Soviet Union. Russia opted for democracy and democratic culture which was to replace centralization with decentralization, the closed economy to the market economy, fusion of power to separation of power, the single party system to the multi-party system and above all the emergence of fundamental human rights together with freedom of the press as well as freedom of speech. It was a dawn of a new world order. The post-Soviet Russia was concerned with the task of building a new structure to match its new political philosophy. It was indeed a very diffi cult time for it as a nation. The challenges were enormous but the most signifi cant was a need to have a new constitution, as the Soviet laws were not only obsolete but also inadequate. The Khasbulatov-led Duma, which was constituted under the Soviet system, was uncooperative and confrontational with Boris Yeltsin, the fi rst post-communist president of Russia. Besides, the country suddenly became a lawless state with all attendant social vices. The crime rate was growing exponentially and there was unemployment throughout the country. The gate that had kept corruption shut for more than 74 years got loosed while the very few privileged ones who succeeded in the gaining of state properties came to be known as novi russki (New Russians); oligarchy turned into a strong force to contend with, holding the economy of the country in their hands. Boris Yeltsin was dealing with those challenges and at the same time pulling down the socialist political and economic structures and building a new democratic political order. At the same time, on the one hand, the Chechnya republic was fi erce on its campaign for secession, which eventually resulted in a civil war; while on the other hand, Khasbulatov's duma was unrelenting on his perceived anti-government stand. If the domestic needs were to drive foreign policy, it was clear that Africa had no place or role to play in the search by Russia to rebuild itself into a strong superpower. Yeltsin concentrated his foreign policy on those nations from which he hoped to draw strength in order to confront the growing domestic challenges. One must acknowledge as a very signifi cant and outstanding duty to homeland his ability to identify not only the most appropriate time to quit active poli- tics but also to hand over the reign of affairs of the nation to a very competent hand in the person of Vladimir Putin in January, 2000. Russia was trying to gain balance following the elimination of the old political order, whereas Nigeria on its part was under military dictatorship, which began in 1983. It was making efforts to gain legitimacy and recognition in the comity of nations where military governance was unpopular and unacceptable. Consequently, during this era, Nigeria was unable to conduct meaningful international relations. Despite this, the Nigerian military junta displayed a high level of disrespect of human rights ranging from the obnoxious Decree 4 of 1984 that censors all forms of freedom of expression. Several media were proscribed; journalists and activists were put into prison, and generally, life became unsafe and insecure apart from the crumbling economy resulting in inadequate physical and social infrastructures. This persisted until 1999 when a new democratically elected government was inaugurated. Incidentally, it coincided with the change of government in Russia when Vladimir Putin emerged as the second democratically elected president of the Russian Federation. The coming to power of Russian President Vladimir Putin and the inauguration of Obasanjo as a democratically elected president of Nigeria brought about the reestablishing of diplomatic ties between Russia and Nigeria, which opened a new window of opportunities for the two nations to exploit the potentials of their cooperation in the political and economic spheres. Russia sent a representative to attend president Obasanjo's inauguration who delivered an invitation to visit Russia. This invitation was honoured and Obasanjo paid a state visit to Russia March 5-7, 2001 which reactivated Nigeria-Russia bilateral relations. On March 6, 2001 there was signed the Declaration on Principle of Friendly Relations between the two countries. This led to the eventual establishment of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Scientifi c-Technical Cooperation (ICESTC) which laid the foundation for forging mutually benefi cial relations and helped deepen their ties. This commission is to meet regularly to discuss on a wide range of issues concerning Nigeria-Russia bilateral relationship. Obasanjo made a commitment to ensure improved mutually benefi cial and enduring relations with Russia. This position was further strengthened in 2008 by the personal contact between Musa Ya'adua who took over from Obasanjo and Medvedev, the successor to Putin (2008-2012) in Toyaka, Japan during the G-8 summit. As a follow up to that meeting, President Dmitry Medvedev came to Nigeria on a state visit in June, 2009. That was the fi rst visit of a Russian head of state in history which gave a boost to the evolving Nigeria-Russia relationship. As the outcome of the meeting of the Nigeria-Russia Heads of state in Abuja, the following agreements were signed on June 24, 2009 among others: 1. Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement 2. Agreement on Cooperation in the Field of Peaceful Use of Nuclear Energy 3. Memorandum of Understanding in the Field of Exploration of Outer Space for Peaceful Purposes 4. Agreement of the Transfer of Persons Sentenced to Imprisonment 5. Memorandum of Association on Joint Venture between NNPC and GAZPROM, and 6. Legal cooperation between the Nigerian and Russian Ministries of Justice. 1 Codel International Limited of Nigeria and Asen of Russia signed an agreement at the Nigerian Embassy in Moscow on the construction of the Gas Turbine Electricity Generation Plant in Bayelsa state, Nigeria, in 2005. The Thermo Power Station in Kwara State had earlier been constructed by this same Russian company. This further displays the interest and confi dence of Nigeria in Russian technology. This position was affirmed in a statement by Steve Azaiki, the secretary to the Bayelsa state government while signing the agreement in Moscow on behalf of his state government [11]. As a result of President Medvedev's visit that led to the signed agreements, there emerged several new initiatives. The Russians are working with the National Commission on Atomic Energy to build an experimental research nuclear plant in Abuja. There is also the agreement on the Russians providing technical assistance for beefi ng up Nigeria's peacekeeping and peace-support operations. In this regard, several security operatives from Nigeria had been sent and are being sent to Russia for special training to boost its defense capacities. As a part of the new level of scientifi c and technological cooperation between the two countries, in August 2011, Nigeria launched Nigeria SAT 2 and Nigeria SAT X spacecrafts into orbit aboard the Russian Dnerpr rocket from a launch pad in the town of Yasny, southern Russia [10]. In a bid to foster mutually benefi cial relationship between Nigerian and Russian business people, Glades Sasore, a special adviser to the president Jonathan of Nigeria (2010-2015) on export promotion, visited Moscow to showcase products made in Nigeria ranging from quality agricultural commodities, timber, solid minerals, gemstones and tanned leather. At her meeting with the Russian chambers of commerce and industry, Sasore emphasized the interest of Nigeria in Russian technology to boost industrialization drive. In August 2016, there was given a concession by the Russian chambers of commerce to exclusively import cashew from Nigeria. Nigeria is increasingly becoming a key business partner to Russia in Africa. The volume of trade grew from three hundred million to about 1.5 billion dollars in 2010 in favour of Russia according to the Central bank of Nigeria fi gure 2 . The major Russian companies have commenced operation in Nigeria. RUSSAL - the Rus- sian aluminum giant bought a 77.5 per cent stake in Nigeria's aluminum smelter, ALSCON. Gazprom, the Russian national energy company, signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) on the exploration and exploitation of the nation's huge gas reserves with a new joint venture company to be known as NiGaZ Energy Company, which will also take part in several other critical infrastructural development projects, including the training of Nigerians among others. Both companies are expected to invest up to 2.5 billion US Dollars in the joint venture 1 . The Russian oil giant Lukoil is working to expand its operation in Nigeria's oil market 2 . The Chief of General Staff of the Russian armed forces General Valery Gerasimov met Nigerian Defense Minister Mansur Muhammad Dan-Ali in Moscow to discuss the bilateral agenda in the fi eld of the military-technical cooperation on the 2012 agreement on joint project to design, develop, construct, operate and commission a nuclear power plant scheduled to complete in 2025 3 . These are good indicators to the dynamic Nigeria-Russia relations, and it has led to though slow but steady growth of the bilateral trade and promotion of direct contacts between Nigerian and Russian offi cials, institutions, agencies and companies opening up opportunities for further cooperation. In June 2016, in Lagos, Nigeria, there was launched RuNiTrade (Russia Nigeria e-commerce platform) out of the partnership between Lagos Chambers of Commerce and Industry and Trail Trans Logistics Group of companies in Russia. The focus is to strengthen the bilateral trade relations between Russia and Nigeria and boost the economic activities between the two countries by providing information about business opportunities in the two countries. This is to stimulate the investments fl ow between the two nations. In August 2015, there was launched Soyuznik (Association of Soviet/Russian trained professionals who worked or are still working in different sectors in Nigeria and abroad) under the leadership of Shina Fawole who later handed over to Jerome Okolo. This organization is making efforts in rejuvenating Russia-Nigeria relations. The productive exploitation of Ajaokuta steel rolling mills built during the Soviet era is a cause of serious concern to this organization. Problems of Nigeria-Russia Relations There are several challenges confronting Nigeria-Russia relations. For instance, in order for agreements among nations to become operational, they are to be passed by the National parliament and that forms their legal framework. The agreements signed with Russia are yet to be ratifi ed by the parliament with particular reference to the Abuja agreement of 2009. Adequate knowledge and clear understanding of culture, history, language, mentality, world-view, capabilities and potentials of other nations are crucial to foreign policy making. It facilitates correct and accurate perception on which policies on diplomacy rests. There is weak indication that the two countries have suffi cient and adequate perception of each other. This in part is responsible for the lack of the political will to fully implement their existing bilateral agreements. The other problems of Nigeria - Russia relations are as follows: * Political orientation. The majority among the Nigeria political elites are under strong infl uence of London and Washington whose interest is to distance Moscow from the affairs of African countries. * Trade imbalance. There should be created more adequate environment for Nigeria to increase its export to Russia. Tropical agricultural products like cashew, coffee, and cocoa can be sourced from Nigeria by Russian industries. * Inadequate information on business opportunities in Nigeria poses one of the major problems. Foreign investors including Russians have no access to update and reliable information on business prospects in Nigeria. * ALSCON, Nigeria's only aluminum smelting plant, handed over to Russian aluminum giant, United Company RUSAL PLC was closed down in 2014 placing more than 98 percent of its workforce out of job, most of them local hires 1 . Prospects of Nigeria-Russia Relations Nigeria needs Russian technology to boost industrialization just as Russia needs Nigeria as a market for its industrial products and military equipment. Мany reasons account for the fact why Russia should be a strategic partner for Nigeria like the one expressed by Poliakov (Russian Ambassador to Nigeria) that "Nigeria and Russia exhibit commonalities which include the practice of federalism, have almost the same population size, the two countries are advancing from autocratic to democratic rule apart from that, they are endowed with human and material resources including agricultural land, oil and gas". Poliakov further stated that "Both countries even have "mission 2020" though with different goals: Nigeria aims to become one of the twenty most developed countries in the world while Russia is determined to be one of the world fi ve largest economies" [12]. The common features which Russia and Nigeria exhibit are more compelling than politics and economy, population size or natural endowments. Afons Adebiyi (2010) mirrored quite a number of similarities in the culture of these two nations, which, in our view, if well explored should enhance their relationship. Particular attention was drawn to some of their traditions, mentality and way of live. For example, traditionally, Russians worshipped water which is a refl ection of osun Oshogbo - (god of water) in Nigeria, also, worship of iron in Russia is similar to ogun (god of iron) in Nigeria. Of particular interest is the tradition of marriage in these two countries. Among the Yorubas in Nigeria, for example, marriage is described as: "carry the wife" (gbe iyawo.) As a sign of love, the Russians do carry their wives in their hands and sometimes walk distance before they embark on what they call 'gulanie' (strolling) either in a park or any historical place from where they proceed to the reception. "To carry" in this case symbolizes taking full responsibilities for her. Apart from all these, in terms of character, the Russian and the Nigerian people like making themselves noticeable wherever they found themselves, which is always accompanied by 'some excesses' in terms of the spending habit. In the area of governance, the tsarist era in Russia was a period of absolute power where the reign was passed from father to son. This is almost the same in the precolonial Nigeria even till date. This is well represented in Yoruba language: 'aye- oba- aye- a -je- rorun' which explains absolutism. In both countries leaders like being close to power. From Stalin in 1923 to Gorbachev in 1991, a leader either died being in power or was forced out of office. Only Boris Yeltsin remains the fi rst and the only Russian leader to have voluntarily left offi ce. In comparison with Nigeria, since its gaining independence to date, no election had been free and fair until 2015. They had all been characterized by violence and chaos, because leaders are not willing to relinquish power. These attributes point to a number of similarities between the two countries. In spite of this, Russia is a developed nation, whereas Nigeria is not. The process that leads Russia to greatness is a path worthy of emulation by Nigeria. As noted by Agubamah, Russia has a lot to offer Nigeria in terms of technological support in several critical areas. In addition, Russia has a track record of nurturing several countries to industrial success through strategic partnership. Such countries include China, India and Egypt, to mention just a few. It was Russia that helped to lay the foundation of the economic development of China, constructing several critical industrial complexes and deploying its engineers to help the Chinese. However, it should be understood that the Chinese leadership under Mao was particularly dedicated in pursuing the course of strategic partnership with the Soviet Union. After the victory of the Chinese communists in 1949, thousands of Russian advisers were sent to China to train their technicians, while a large number of Chinese students were sent to Russia for training. Mao launched a blueprint for the industrialization of China in 1953 on the background of fi fty-three critical projects. Josef Stalin agreed to supply an additional ninetyone which Stalin's successor Nikita Khrushchev also agreed to sell to China, as cited by Agubamah [9, p. 195]. Indian leaders, particularly Indira Gandhi, also found Russia a prospective partner. They gained trust and support of the Russians for the construction of giant industrial complexes, which, as the Indians supposed, played a critical role in the development of their country. Russia stood by India in the trying times and contributed to India's national security interest, providing muscle to the Indian armed forces by supplying advanced military hardware, predominantly underwriting India's economic growth [12, р. 116]. Nigeria has a major role to play in its relationship with Russia. First, by recognizing its needs within the areas where Russia has capacities and capabilities to provide assistance on the one hand and on the other, to follow up on these and working hard for the achievement of such set goals. There are two key areas in which Russia can assist Nigeria. First, to provide permanent solutions to the crisis which is caused by two major factors - social and technical. The social factor has to do with vandalism of pipelines for crude oil and gas. Russia has a long experience in providing maximum security for its pipelines in the Caspian down to the Black sea and all other areas. The Nigerian security agents working in this sphere can be further empowered by the Russians through training and equipment, which could extend to other aspects of the security system in Nigeria including the fi ght against insurgency. The other area is a technical one which borders on inability of Nigeria to refi ne its crude oil and the wanton insuffi cient storage facility. The biggest oil and gas company in the world is Gazprom, which is owned by Russia. Nigerian NNPC (Nigeria National Petroleum Company) can tap into the experience of this oil giant to enhance its capabilities, competence and service delivery. Russia can also help to address the problem of electricity supply which is mostly occasioned by the perennial shortage of gas to thermal power plants and weak transmission network which points to the need to construct a super transmission grid that can take huge power. In November, 2010 Russian Minister of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov visited Nigeria to mark the 50th anniversary of Nigeria-Russia diplomatic relations. The agreements of the two countries to give a new impetus to their relations through strategic partnership on the strength of their 2009 agreements need to be accorded deserved attention. Conclusion The diplomatic relations between nations are established to serve national interests. Nigeria-Russia relations should be focused and geared towards the promotion of the cultural heritage, scientifi c, economic and technical/technological cooperation. A strive to facilitate good knowledge as well as correct and accurate perception of each other needs to be given a place of priority for maturity of their bilateral conceptions. All issues on the privatization of ALSCON to Russian RUSAL including the legal tussles require diplomatic solutions in a manner that will bring the company to function at its maximum capacity.

Looked at virtually every manufacturer for over a year in an effort to get a holster for my FNX-45 Tactical. Initially found one from another maker but it did not work. Stumbled upon TR Holsters and met with great service, advise and the holster that I needed. Super price and quick delivery. I was so pleased with it that I ordered a second one for my sons FNX-45. Great company.
