17. Advances in artificial intelligence and robotics are powering a new wave of automation, with machines matching or outperforming humans in a fast-growing range of tasks. How should policymakers cope with the adverse effects of this process on employment, wages, and economic inequality ?
18. World powers like United States have often been known to intervene to overthrow other countries’ government, install pliant regimes and then prop up those regimes, even with military action.

20. Russia’s GDP is about 40 % of Germany’s and over 50% of France’s. Life expectancy at birth ranks 153rd in the world, just behind Honduras and Kazakhstan n terms of per capita income, Russia ranks 73rd ( in terms of purchasing power parity ) – well below the Soviet Union’s former satellites in Central and Eastern Europe. Country has deindustrialized: the vast majority of its exports now come from natural resources. It has not evolved into a “normal” market economy, but rather into a peculiar form of crony-state capitalism.  
21. Many had much higher hopes for Russia, and the former Soviet Union more broadly, when the Iron Curtain fell. After seven decades of Communism, the transition to a democratic market economy would not be easy. But, given the obvious advantages of democratic market capitalism to the system that had just fallen apart, it was assumed that the economy would flourish and citizens would demand a greater voice.

23. Gore Vidal once remarked
    
    
    “ It is not enough that I should succeed,         others must fail. “
24. Why rapid solidification leads to formation of quasi-periodic crystals ?
25. it is believed that icosahedral clusters of atoms do exist in molten metals and alloys. These, when slowly cooled, would solidify in to crystalline arrangements, many a time retaining the inner shell atoms of the unit cell in the same icosahedral arrangement. However, if the melt were to be quenched rapidly, there won't be enough time available for this rearrangements to take place. As a result, the quenched in solid would posses  icosahedral symmetry or a related quasi-periodic structure.
    To some extent it is proved by in-situ x-ray diffraction       ( synchrotron ) experiments that such icosahedral clusters do exist in metallic melts  .  
26. Many quasi-periodic materials are not stable 
    thermodynamically and therefore cannot form 
    by conventional casting.  
    
    
    They can, however form by rapid solidification.
    
    
    There are stable quasi-periodic materials that 
    can form by conventional casting.  
    
    
    These can be grown to large single crystals.
