question:You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. OPTIONS: (A). Leslie was always sitting in awkward positions. (B). Jeffrey was always sitting in awkward positions. Complete the following sentence. Leslie suffered from hemorrhoids but not Jeffrey so
answer:Leslie suffered from hemorrhoids but not Jeffrey, so we can say that (A). Leslie was always sitting in awkward positions. This means Leslie sat in ways that were not very comfortable, and they could have caused or made the hemorrhoids worse. Jeffrey didn't have that problem because he didn't have hemorrhoids, so he didn't need to sit in awkward positions like Leslie did.

Write a summary based on this article: If you’ve ever walked barefoot on asphalt on a hot summer day, you know that it gets pretty darn hot. It also does a really great job of sharing all that stored heat with its surroundings. That can make a huge difference in the temperature in areas where there’s a lot of blacktop around. In the heavily-paved neighborhoods of Los Angeles, for example, the heat island effect is a very real concern. L.A. Street Services is working on a fix. The workers in that picture aren’t cleaning up a spill, they’re spreading a white (actually very, very light gray) topcoat on several L.A. roadways. Hitting control-I on the color palette makes a big difference — as much as 10 degrees on a summer afternoon, according to Street Services. Streets in all 15 of L.A.’s electoral districts have been coated as part of the pilot project. If the results are anywhere near as positive as they’ve been elsewhere in California, crews will no doubt be whitewashing a whole lot more. A similar test in Canoga Park, a city of 60,000 about 30 miles from Los Angeles, saw the temperature on one stretch of road reduced from 93 to 70 degrees. In Encino, a parking lot that was coated dropped from a blistering 160 degrees down to a much more bearable 130. This isn’t the first push L.A. has made to combat the heat island effect. Three years ago residents were offered rebates for doing the very same thing to their roofs, with some experts saying that the change from black to white could reduce average temperatures in California by as much as two degrees. That might not seem like much, but every notch on the thermometer helps these days. Los Angeles broke 90 degrees four times in July, and the monthly average has climbed more than 3.5 degrees over the past 5 years.

Apply for trees below and be sure to specify in the comments section that you want parkway trees. We will come out to your house to see if planting in the parkway is possible - not all parkways have enough room for a tree. If you get a parkway tree, you will be responsible for watering it during the first five years while it establishes its roots.

We will give you free trees if you agree to water and care for them. If you want trees to plant on your own private property, we can deliver them for you to plant. If you want trees along the street and have an open parkway or an empty tree well, we can plant them for you if you agree to water and care for them.

If your address yields information with the council district number, then you are a resident. If your address is not found, you do not reside in the City proper. If you postal address says “ Los Angeles” it is possible that you live in an unincorporated area of LA County, meaning that your neighborhood is not a part of an official city. ||||| Summary:
answer:In an effort to combat the heat island effect and reduce temperatures in urban areas, Los Angeles is coating its streets in a white, light gray topcoat. The pilot project, led by L.A. Street Services, has already coated streets in all 15 of the city's electoral districts. According to the agency, the topcoat can make a difference of as much as 10 degrees on a summer afternoon. Similar tests in Canoga Park and Encino saw significant temperature reductions on coated surfaces. By combating the heat island effect, the topcoat can help reduce energy consumption and urban temperatures.

question:You are a helpful assistant, who always provide explanation. Think like you are answering to a five year old. Bin Laden and his aides did not need a very large sum to finance their planned attack on America. The 9/11 plotters eventually spent somewhere between 400,000 and 500,000 to plan and conduct their attack. Consistent with the importance of the project, al Qaeda funded the plotters. KSM provided his operatives with nearly all the money they needed to travel to the United States, train, and live. The plotters' tradecraft was not especially sophisticated, but it was good enough. They moved, stored, and spent their money in ordinary ways, easily defeating the detection mechanisms in place at the time. The origin of the funds remains unknown, although we have a general idea of how al Qaeda financed itself during the period leading up to 9/11. General Financing As we explained in chapter 2, Bin Laden did not fund al Qaeda through a personal fortune and a network of businesses in Sudan. Instead, al Qaeda relied primarily on a fund-raising network developed over time. The CIA now estimates that it cost al Qaeda about 30 million per year to sustain its activities before 9/11 and that this money was raised almost entirely through donations. For many years, the United States thought Bin Laden financed al Qaeda's expenses through a vast personal inheritance. Bin Laden purportedly inherited approximately 300 million when his father died, and was rumored to have had access to these funds to wage jihad while in Sudan and Afghanistan and to secure his leadership position in al Qaeda. In early 2000, the U.S. government discovered a different reality: roughly from 1970 through 1994, Bin Laden received about 1 million per year-a significant sum, to be sure, but not a 300 million fortune that could be used to fund jihad. Then, as part of a Saudi government crackdown early in the 1990s, the Bin Laden family was forced to find a buyer for Usama's share of the family company in 1994. The Saudi government subsequently froze the proceeds of the sale. This action had the effect of divesting Bin Laden of what otherwise might indeed have been a large fortune. Nor were Bin Laden's assets in Sudan a source of money for al Qaeda. When Bin Laden lived in Sudan from 1991 to 1996, he owned a number of businesses and other assets. Question: "To fund a jihad, how much of Bin Laden's personal inheritance could have gone to the terrorists?" Answer: "30 million per year until 1994" Is this answer correct?
answer:I'm going to explain this in a very simple way so that a five-year-old can understand. Bin Laden was a man who wanted to plan an attack on America with his group called Al Qaeda. They needed money to do this. People used to think Bin Laden had a lot of money from his family (around 300 million) to spend on the attack. But, the truth is, Bin Laden did not have that much money. He got about 1 million a year from his family, until 1994 when the government took his money away. So, he couldn't use his own money for the attacks. Instead, Bin Laden and Al Qaeda got money from other people who wanted to help. They raised about 30 million every year to plan the attack. So, the answer is "Bin Laden couldn't use his personal inheritance to fund the attack. Al Qaeda got money from donations, raising about 30 million per year."
