										Abstract: Can the European population on both sides of the North Atlantic still dominate the economic, military and decision-making power of the whole world, as it has done in the last five centuries? The USA represents the United States of Europeans on the Americas, where the demographic surplus migrated from the Old Continent for five centuries, and the great wars that ravaged Europe favored the continuation of European domination, but from the west coast of the Atlantic. Europe, similar to Earth's pulsed gravity in keeping the Moon close, continues to provide US world power, but if the US did not exist, Europe would cease to be Western, becoming Asian and culturally, economically and commercially oriented to the East. Old Europe or the Old Continent, has been economically overtaken in the last decade by the New Europe or the United States, and the merging of the two world decision-making nuclei is now centered on the west coast of the North Atlantic, to the detriment of many European powers grouped in European Union. The continuation of supremacy by Europeans can only take place if these centers are united decisively and militarily within NATO, being increasingly difficult to cope even together, the colossal economic force rising in Asia. But the division of prey that is often directed at the US, which is visibly better, is still a prosperous economy, and the losses seem to be paid by the aging and demographically stagnant core European states, bringing frustration and rebellion to the chancelleries of this continent looking for alternatives in Asia, so different culturally, religiously and behaviorally.

										Abstract: The samples were sourced from the teak plantation in the Federal University of Akure, Ondo, State and Moremi street in Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria. The clay samples were pulverized and grounded using the Denver Laboratory Jaw Crusher, Model BDA 15561 and ground/milled using Bico Ball Milling Machine, Model 69012 (USA), and sieved using the combination of BS Sieve no 10 (2.00mm), BS sieve no 16 (1.18mm), BS sieve no 20 (850μm to be free of stones and gravels. Akure Anthill clay in its crude was characterized using Energy Dispersive X-ray Fluorescent Spectrometer (ED-XRFS) and assayed 21.97% Fe2O3, 44.50% SiO2, 27% Al2O3, 3.03% TiO2, 1.43% K2O, 0.32% CaO, 0.37% RuO2, 1.38% BDL. Ile-Ife anthill clay in its crude was also characterized and found to contain 17.27% Fe2O3, 50.8% SiO2, 26% Al2O3, 2.20% TiO2, 1.37% K2O, 1.16% CaO, 0.31% RuO2, 0.46% BDL. The refractoriness of this anthill was also investigated and found to be 1400°C. This implies that both Akure and Ile-Ife anthill clay is not suitable for application in furnaces carrying out operations and melting operations at elevated temperatures beyond 1400°C. But it possesses good thermal stability at 10% bentonite, 10% kaolin and 25% bentonite respectively which is one of the characteristics or properties of the clay sample which makes it suitable for low refractory furnace lining applications.
