<u>Answer: </u>

A family history of substance abuse/dependence has a significant impact on the functioning of individuals with substance dependence is a TRUE statement.

<u>Explanation: </u>

The individuals who hold a family history of substance abuse are more likely to exhibit substance dependence at some or the other stage of their life.
The display of this trait is either due to the psychological influence that they have had of the other substance-dependent individuals in the family or the development of the urge in them due to hereditary reasons.

Write a letter to a electricity authority requesting a regular supply of electricity in your society.

Anon25 [30]

Answer: I, on behalf of my locality, with to draw your kind attention towards frequent breakdown of electricity in Rainak Bazar Area. The low voltage and frequent tripping of electricity in this area has become almost a daily routine. During the three hour daily cut, no one expects the supply of electricity. But the unannounced frequent breakdown of electricity is simply nightmarish. At night, one is left half through the meals at the dining table. During the day, there is no rest, no comfort, no protection from the sultry weather.

Besides this, low voltage of electricity has damaged electric lamps, tubes and other electric appliances. Fans do not give proper air owing to low voltage. Many times complaints have been lodged with your office but no permanent solution to this menace has been found. It is a pity that even when there is supply of electricity in other localities, our locality remains dark. The wires through which electricity is supplied to our locality, are old and worn out, the transformer where from the electricity is supplied to us, is also an old one. There is always some defect in wires or in the transformer. In fact, all the wires as well as the transformer need to be replaced. Only then the proper supply of electricity can be restored to this locality.

I hope you would look into the matter at the earliest and redress our grievance.

Answer:

10 Perspectives on the Future of Water

Water today is cheap, poorly managed and becoming increasingly scarce, and what is already a complex issue is only going to get more complicated as the global population continues to swell and the world's aging infrastructure gets older.

Similar to the challenges facing us with climate change, action on water scarcity is torturously slow. But unlike climate change, water shortages are a near-term life-or-death situation. The good news is that the battle isn't going unfought.

On Tuesday, Dow Chemical Co. brought together 60 of the world's leading water experts for a free, fast-moving virtual conference that explored the past, present and future of the global water challenge as part of its The Future We Create initiative. Sixty representatives from industry, academia, nonprofits and other thought leaders each offered back-to-back one-minute messages about water as it relates to people and businesses.

"The key to solving our biggest challenges lies at the intersection of science, collaboration and human ingenuity," Mary Jo Piper, Dow Chemical's public affairs manager, said in an email. "Collaboration is critical -- it requires human interactions and productive conversations based on mutual respect. That's why Dow created The Future We Create conference series -- to provide a meeting ground for leading-edge thinkers and curious minds to learn, share and act for a better future for us all."

We'd be remiss if we didn't ask the question: Is Dow the right company to talk about the future of water? The company has had its own water-related issues, including a dioxin clean-up near its headquarters and lawsuits alleging water contamination. While the company wouldn't comment on pending litigation, it did note that technology from its Water and Processing Solutions unit is being used to produce 22 million cubic meters of water daily around the world. It has also managed to reduce water consumption at its biggest production site by a billion gallons a year, which is fairly impressive by any measure.

In any case, the virtual conference included a wealth of interesting information. Below are some memorable quotes that caught my attention from the program, which is still available online:

• "Water is cheap right now, relatively speaking; it's not going to stay that way. It's not plentiful; it is not
