question:You are an AI assistant. You will be given a task. You must generate a detailed and long answer. On Monday, departing Gov. Roy Barnes will spend his first day as a private citizen by starting his new job as a full-time, pro-bono (unpaid) lawyer at the Atlanta Legal Aid Society. The decision by Barnes, the most improbable casualty of Election Day 2002, to go to work for legal aid was almost as unexpected as his November defeat. As a legal services attorney, Barnes will help women escape domestic violence, Mauricio Vivero is vice president seniors fight predatory lending scams and parents obtain child support for their kids. of Legal In doing so, he will take his place on the front line of the U.S. legal community's Services Corporation, the uphill and underpublicized struggle to achieve equal access to justice for millions of Washington-Americans too poor to afford legal representation. based nonprofit corporation chartered by The inaccessibility of the U.S. civil justice system is hardly a new development, but it Congress in took Barnes' decision to put the national media spotlight on our country's ongoing 1974 to promote equal access to access-to-justice crisis. civil justice. The 2000 U.S. census reports that more than 43 million Americans qualify for free federally funded legal assistance, yet fewer than 20 percent of eligible clients (annual income: 11,075 or less) are able to obtain legal help when they need it, according to the American Bar Association. In Georgia, there is just one legal aid lawyer for every 10,500 eligible poor people. Barnes understood this problem long before he became governor. While in private practice, he handled many pro-bono cases and was a frequent volunteer in the Cobb County office of the federally funded Atlanta Legal Aid Society. Most memorably, he secured a 115 million judgment in 1993 against Fleet Finance for victimizing 18,000 homeowners -- many of them senior citizens -- with its widespread predatory lending mortgage practices. His long-standing commitment to the underserved is certainly admirable, but it should not be viewed as a rare and laudable act of civic virtue. To be admitted to practice law, every attorney must take a professional oath to promote justice -- and every state's ethical rules include language indicating lawyers' responsibility to be guardians of fair play for those living in poverty. In Georgia, many law firms, corporations and private attorneys are working pro bono to serve the neediest clients. Yet only 23 percent of the state's 23,598 active lawyers reported meeting the Georgia State Bar's goal of 50 hours of pro-bono service in 2002. The need for volunteers is most severe outside the five-county Atlanta metropolitan area, where 70 percent of the state's poor people are served by only 24 percent of the state's lawyers. National pro-bono participation is even worse. Only 23 percent of the roughly 1 million attorneys in America volunteer even one hour of pro-bono service annually, according to the ABA. Choose from options: Based on the paragraph, does the response "He understood in Georgia there was a shortage of legal aid lawyers for the poor" correctly answer the question "What problem did Barnes understand before becoming governor?"? Pick from: + no; + yes;
answer:+ yes; Before becoming governor, Roy Barnes understood there was a shortage of legal aid lawyers for the poor in Georgia. His decision to work as a full-time, pro-bono lawyer at the Atlanta Legal Aid Society demonstrates his commitment to the underserved and the accessibility of legal services for the less fortunate. The numbers reported in the passage reveal the stark reality of the situation in Georgia, with only one legal aid lawyer available for every 10,500 eligible poor people. This scarcity of representation was something Barnes recognized and had actively contributed to addressing during his time in private practice. His experience handling pro-bono cases and volunteering at the Cobb County office of the federally funded Atlanta Legal Aid Society showed that Barnes was well aware of the systemic problem long before he assumed public office. His notable work in securing a 115 million judgment against Fleet Finance for their predatory lending mortgage practices that largely affected vulnerable homeowners, many of whom were senior citizens, illustrates his dedication to fighting injustice and advocating for equal access to legal representation. The inaccessibility of the U.S. civil justice system is a widespread issue, and Barnes' decision to return to legal aid work after his time as governor garnered media attention, shedding light on the ongoing struggle to ensure equal access to justice for millions of Americans who cannot afford proper legal representation. Unfortunately, despite the requirement for all practicing lawyers to promote justice and the inclusion of ethical rules in every state's guidelines, the percentage of pro-bono service remains low. In Georgia, only 23% of the state's active lawyers reported reaching the Georgia State Bar's goal of 50 hours of pro-bono service in 2002. Taking these statistics into account, it becomes evident that Barnes had a clear understanding of the problem at hand—the shortage of legal aid lawyers for the poor in Georgia—prior to his time as governor.

answer:To accomplish the goal of painting a design on a glass or cup, I would follow these steps using the first available choice: 1. Choose the glass or cup that you'd like to paint on. Make sure it has a smooth surface and is clean and dry. 2. Prepare the work area by laying out newspapers or a protective cover to avoid any accidental spills or stains. 3. Choose the appropriate acrylic glass paint for your project. These paints are specifically designed for use on glass surfaces and provide a durable result. 4. Sketch out your design lightly on the glass using a pencil, or create a stencil if you prefer. You can also freehand the design if you're confident with your painting skills. 5. Shake the acrylic glass paint bottles well before use. If using multiple colors, plan the order in which they will be applied to avoid color mixing and smudging. 6. Apply the acrylic glass paint carefully, following the lines of your design. Use thin, even layers while avoiding heavy application, which can take longer to dry or cause unevenness. 7. Allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer's instructions, similar to drying times for a canvas. Do not attempt to cure the paint unless the product's guidelines explicitly mention this step. 8. After the paint dries, carefully remove any pencil markings or stencils if used. 9. When cleaning the painted glass or cup, avoid using a scrub brush as it may wear down the paint over time. Instead, gently hand-wash the item with a soft cloth. By following these steps and using option 1, you should be able to successfully paint a design on a glass or cup while preserving its longevity and vibrancy.

question:You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. Wellingore is a village and civil parish in the North Kesteven district of Lincolnshire, England. The population of the civil parish at the 2011 census was 356. It is situated on the A607 road, approximately 12 mi south from Lincoln. It conjoins the village of Navenby to the north. The Viking Way traverses through the village, passing from the side of the cliff edge to Ermine Street. Does this next sentence follow, given the preceding text? A village is better than a civil parish.
answer:No, sweetie, that sentence doesn't really follow the information given before. The text before this was just explaining what Wellingore is and where it is located. It didn't make any comparison between a village and a civil parish or say one was better than the other. You see, a village and a civil parish are two different things and we can't say one is better than the other. It's like saying apples are better than oranges - both are fruits and can be good in different ways.
