TASK DEFINITION: Given a document, an entity and its sentiment towards the entity, verify if it is the correct sentiment towards the entity. Answer should be yes or no. Note that URLs in the text have been replaced with [Link].
PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shinzo Abe is Positive . In an interview with NHK after polls closed   Abe  said  he  would push for an amendment.
“The ruling parties have been granted a majority ”  he  said. “I think it was the people’s voice telling us to make progress in politics and bring results with a stable political base.”
For a leader touting stability  the election had been a gamble.  Abe  had called the vote more than a year early  justifying it by saying that  he  needed a new mandate to deal with the threat posed by North Korea and to work through the details of a consumption-tax increase.
Many analysts said  Abe ’s motive was more opportunistic  however  with the prime minister taking advantage of the disarray of the Democratic Party  Japan’s main opposition party  and a small bump in  his  approval ratings after a number of scandals earlier this year.
The LDP has long dominated postwar Japanese politics. For many Japanese voters   Abe ’s leadership represents stability after years of short-lived governments before  he  returned to the prime minister’s office in 2012.
Some analysts suggest  however  that the weakness of the opposition may mask discontent with  Abe  and a lack of support for many of  his  policies. One exit poll cited by Kyodo showed 51 percent of voters saying they don’t trust  Abe   while 44.1 percent said they do.
Koichi Nakano  a professor of political science at Sophia University  said that the election exposed a lack of widespread support for  Abe ’s policies.  Abe  did not win “because people enthusiastically support  him  ” Nakano said. “People are disaffected and the opposition is divided.”
The bad weather may have also helped  Abe . The approaching Typhoon Lan left voters battling strong winds and heavy rain to make it to polling stations. On Monday  Kyodo estimated the final turnout at 53.69 percent  only marginally above a record low in the 2014 election.
Despite the rain  a number of voters could be found exiting a polling station in Tokyo’s cosmopolitan Roppongi neighborhood Sunday morning. Nobue Koizumi  a 67-year-old retired translator  said she had felt compelled to vote because of fears about  Abe ’s security policies.
“I don’t particularly support  Abe   but I do support” the LDP  said Hiroki Shinohara  a 54-year-old wholesaler at the Tsukiji fish market. “I feel it’s doing what’s right for Japan  and Japan needs it.”

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Guzman is Positive . A US judge on Wednesday postponed until September the trial in New York of notorious Mexican drug lord Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman.
On Monday  Cogan had delayed the latest pre-trial hearing from January 19 to February 15  after  Guzman 's lawyer demanded more time to review several hundred thousand pages of documents in the case.
 Guzman  has been held in solitary confinement in New York since being extradited to the United States a year ago.
Accused of running the Sinaloa cartel   he  is facing 17 charges  and if convicted   he  is likely to spend the rest of  his  life in a maximum security US prison.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tiffany Richardson is Neutral . Since Tyra Banks yelled "We were rooting for you!" on America's Next Top Model   it's become one of the most iconic moments in reality TV history  and one of the most inescapable GIFs on the internet. Now  more than a decade since Banks flipped on  contestant Tiffany Richardson   the former model hopeful reveals what viewers didn't see  how  she  feels about Banks  and how far  she 's come.
âThis is a really difficult decision â Tyra Banks said  face stoic  voice solemn. âYouâve put me in a very difficult place.â Before  her  stood America's Next Top Model contestants  Tiffany Richardson  and Rebecca Epley  who were on the chopping block.
The Cycle 4 hopefuls were relatively motionless  aside from the sporadic subtle head nods as they waited to see whose photo Banks was holding. Whoever was pictured would be âsafeâ in the worldâs fiercest modeling competition â at least for an additional week. But when Banks finally revealed the reflective  glossy image in  her  hands  it was blank: Both  Richardson  and Epley were going home. A shock wave rippled through the room  leaving the models who would be moving forward and Banks's fellow judges visibly shaken. Epley let her tears flow freely as she was comforted by her fellow contestants turned friends;  Richardson   meanwhile  tried to lighten the mood  telling the other models  âCheer up  waterheads. [What are you] lookinâ all sad for?â The contestants wiped their faces  and after saying their goodbyes  Banks called the two eliminated women back over for what would become the most memorable send-off in reality TV history.
âRebecca  I admire your emotion right now. It shows to me that this was something thatâs very important to you â Banks said  before turning to  Richardson . âTiffany  Iâm extremely disappointed in you. This is a joke to you. â¦ This is serious to these girls  and it should be serious to you.â âLooks can be deceiving  " Richardson  interjected. âI'm hurt. â¦ I canât change it  Tyra. â¦ Iâm sick of crying about stuff that I cannot change. Iâm sick of being disappointed.â âYou ain't sick of being disappointed  Tiffany â Banks replied  her voice becoming irritated  her bright red hair following every shake of her head. âIf you were sick of being disappointed  you would stand up and you would take control of your destiny. Do you know that you had a possibility to win? Do you know that all of America is rooting for you?â Banks and  Richardson  began talking over each other as they tried to explain themselves  both growing more passionate with each word until Banks became completely unhinged. âI have never in my life yelled at a girl like this â she shouted  her voice cracking. The glare in her eyes sharpened as she looked down at Richardson  whoâd turned her head away amid the yelling. âWhen my mother yells like this  itâs because she loves me. I was rooting for you! We were all rooting for you!â Suddenly  the room fell silent. For the first time  the very polished Tyra Banks had broken character. She had always been the knowledgeable big sister who carried herself with grace  someone you could count on for sound advice  someone to look up to. But that wasn't who audiences saw when she went in on Richardson. It left folks watching at home shook â so much that weâre not only still talking about it today  but we've managed to transform the unforgettable moment into a way we interact with one another.
If you were to do a general search on YouTube for the scene  which aired in April 2005  youâd see a few results â âTyra Banks Gone Wild â âTyra Banks Yells at Girl â âTyra Yells at  Tiffany  Extendedâ â totaling more than 11 million views and counting. And you probably see the continuous loop of Banks yelling her famous line in GIF form on at least one social media platform a day. The scene has been memed over and over again  tracing back to old message boards  the underbelly of the early internet. It also lives on through fan art and tweets and Vines (RIP)  and it was parodied on Family Guy  on which Banks was portrayed as a model who loses her temper and transforms into a lizard  eating one of the contestants. It was even used in January 2017 as a symbol of protest during the international Womenâs March in reference to President Donald Trump  the day after he was inaugurated. "None of us were rooting for you " a protester's sign read. "How dare you."
But before she returned to Miami  Richardson said that producers âhintedâ that sheâd be able to come back for Cycle 4 if she participated in an anger management program. According to  Richardson   the suggestion came because of how  she âd performed on  her  psych test  an assessment of the contestantsâ mental stability before theyâre allowed into the house with the other models. Cocks said the models are screened âextensivelyâ and she'd be surprised if those who vet contestants âdid not do their due diligence." Though  she  mainly worked in postproduction and couldn't confirm Richardson's account  Cocks did say  âI think itâs possible. Look  she obviously made a really good impression in Season 3 if she failed whatever she said she failed. I could definitely see them reaching out to her again and being like  âDo you want to give this another try?â" Richardson said she did try anger management for just âa secondâ and âit didnât really change much.â She wouldnât disclose how much time sheâd spent in her program. (A representative for Ken Mok  the president of 10 by 10 Entertainment  the production company behind America's Next Top Model  said he was unavailable to be interviewed for this story and did not respond to a further request for comments on Richardson's statements.) âI donât think they really cared about me going to anger management â Richardson told BuzzFeed News. âIt looked good for TVâ¦fake-ass Cinderella story.â Months later  just before filming for Cycle 4 of Top Model began  Richardson said she was contacted by a producer to come out to Tampa for an audition. While there  she retook the psych test and âswitched the answers." "I put what they wanted to hear â she said.
Banks and the Jays were moved. â Tiffany  grabbed  her  problems by the reins   she  got it together  came back  and I truly believed that girl wants to change  her  life â Mr. Jay said after  her  interview. But really  Richardson just had them all fooled. âHonestly  looking back  I was full of shit â  she  said. âLike  I was still the same person. â¦ [I was] playing the fucking role. â¦ I fed into the crap they was telling me and I ran with it.â With such an apparent change in demeanor  Richardson was a shoo-in as a Top Model finalist  because who doesnât love a good redemption story? And who loves one more than Tyra Banks? Banks had long established  her  brand as someone who was invested in bettering the lives of young women. In 1999   she  founded a camp for girls that âconsisted of a self-esteem building program that addressed battling gender stereotypes  elevating body and beauty love  and creating a sisterhood of trust.â In 2008   she  told the New York Times Magazine about the doors that had been slammed in  her  face and the adversity  she 'd faced as a model before retiring in 2005.  She 's always been focused on pulling  herself  up by the bootstraps â a person who would eventually yell at Richardson in that infamous April 2005 episode  âYou don't know where the hell I come from. You have no idea what I've been through. But I'm not a victim. I grow from it  and I learn.â Banks  whose representative did not respond to multiple requests to set up an interview for or comment on this story  often used  her  life as a rubric for other models to follow  especially the ones  she  handpicked and groomed on America's Next Top Model â and Richardson was certainly an example of that.
According to Cycle 4 contestants  the judging room was located in another area of the Top Model house where they would assemble for that week's critiques. One by one  each model would walk down a runway-like plank to find out how she performed that week. Her photos would be displayed on a giant screen for everyone to see  and her critiques would be said for everyone to hear. By the time everyone received their feedback  the women had been standing for hours; sometimes they would need to take a break  eat  and then come back in for more critiques. âWeâd get picked apart for like 15  20 minutes each " Richardson recalled. "If you say something back  youâre going to be up there for a minute â and sometimes theyâd be going at it  like roasting the fuck out of us. Back to back to back.â After they received their feedback  they'd then be sent out of the room to let the judges deliberate  a process that took six to eight hours in its entirety. Eventually  the contestants would stand before the judges again and Banks would call each "safe" woman by name until there were only two left standing  one of whom would be eliminated. The schedule would leave the women physically and mentally exhausted  on top of being largely separated from the world outside of Top Model. âItâs not quite like Big Brother  where they strip them of everything â said Cocks. The contestants werenât âgetting a lot of pop culture  but they were aware of stuff â she explained  because theyâd walk around LA during challenges and shoots. Richardson struggled to settle into her new reality. âI was there but I wasnât there. It was so different for me â she said. âI donât know anything about designer clothes  and it was kinda like I had to try to fit in and figure it out. Even with makeup  I felt really out of place.â âWe were all out of our comfort zone â said Cycle 4 contestant Brittany Brower. But  Richardson    she  noted  "even more so." "I remember we went and had sushi one night and  she âd never had sushi.  She  thought it was  like  crazy â¦ so  she  was just feeling really alienated.â
On top of feeling like an outsider  Richardson was getting feedback about her photos looking "a little stripper-ish " according to guest judge Mathu Andersen  who was the contestantsâ makeup artist. And in the episode in which Richardson was famously sent home   she  struggled through a challenge where the contestants were tasked with memorizing a short script and performing it using a cockney English accent. It was yet another blow to Richardson's confidence when the women were instructed to read designer names from a teleprompter for a mini red carpet challenge during judging. Many of the models had trouble with names like HermÃ¨s and Christian Lacroix  but Richardson gave up after fumbling over words. âI canât do this â she said. â Tiffany   the other girls did not know these words â Banks said softly  with the other judges backing  her  up. âIf you donât do this  youâre going to go home.â " Tiffany  was humiliated by a lot of the stuff that was going on in the show " Cycle 4 contestant Keenyah Hill told BuzzFeed News. "She felt alienated and she felt targeted a lot." With the pressure of the competition getting to her  Richardson was at a crossroads: Continue to bear the blows â critiques from judges  draining challenges and photo shoots  etc. â or simply give up and go home. âEvery time I did something wrong  Iâd shut down a little bit more  and it just got to the point where I was over it. I felt like we were just there to be humiliated " Richardson said. "It was like  'What the fuck [else] could we do to them?'â Richardson said her issue wasnât exactly with the harshness of the critiques  it was more that she felt they weren't at all constructive. âI donât really care if you go in hard on me â go in on me  but help me â she said. âGoing in  we thought we were going to get modeling help.â Richardson said she thought the judges wouldâve been more âsincereâ in developing the women into models  but instead she felt like the contestants were only ridiculed from week to week.
After weeks of judging  challenges  and photo shoots  Richardson had particularly struggled throughout that ill-fated week  and she was hardly confident going into the elimination. âI didnât think it was gonna be me  because I was up against Rebecca  cute little white girl â Richardson said. But she also didn't think it'd be a double elimination  or that Banks would disclose deeply personal information about Richardsonâs less-than-perfect life back home in Florida. "Youâve been through anger management " Banks screamed once things escalated. "Youâve been through your grandmother getting her lights turned off to buy you a swimsuit for this competition." But that was only what viewers saw. According to  Richardson   the argument was â1 000 times worse" in reality.  She  was hesitant to elaborate  but when pressed for more details  Richardson said she recalled Banks yelling at  her   âYou can go back to your house and sleep on your mattress on the floor with your baby â in front of the other judges  contestants  and crew members. Richardson wouldnât reveal further information about what may have been edited out of Banksâs tirade  but that particular comment  she said  âstayed in the back of my mind." Cocks said that though she wasnât there during the elimination  she was heavily involved in the editing process  and she couldnât remember Banks saying that in any of the transcripts. She did  however  confirm that the tirade was trimmed  mainly due to time constraints.
As Richardson left the judging room to pack up her things  she remembers yelling âfuck Tyraâ and âfuck Top Model.â In the episode  the cameras continued to roll as Richardson and Epley packed their bags. During a quick exit interview  in which she wore the same long black slip dress she wore during the elimination  Richardson said  âIâm not finna break down for you or nobody else. You ainât did shit for me but bring me here and put me through hell these weeks.â Epley didnât remember the âentire wrath of Tyra â but she said it seemed like Banks âwent above and beyond to break  Tiffany  down.â Brower agreed  saying more bluntly  "It was definitely harsh â¦ almost like Tyra wanted  her  to be devastated when  she  got eliminated  and when  Tiffany  was not acting that way  itâs like  she  just lost it. â¦ There was a lot more anger there  especially in the beginning.â Hill said she remembered that "financially [Richardson] and her family  they werenât doing really well at the time." She added that Richardson had a "lackadaisical" attitude. "She made it seem like she was unbothered  unaffected  did not care " according to Hill. "And  Tiffany âs my girl  but in that moment  I could definitely see where Tyra was coming from. She had some truth to what she was saying  but [Banks] probably did go in.â While it may have been a case of extreme tough love  thatâs not how Richardson felt about it. âWhy are you yelling at me  because Iâm grown as fuck â Richardson recalled thinking as Banks got heated. âIt was just  like  bullshit. It was so over-the-top for no reason.â In Richardson's view  Banks âneeded them ratings to go up or something." The producer and three judges (Marin  Barker  and Dickinson) who spoke to BuzzFeed News all noted that the blowup was a deviation from how Banks normally interacted with the contestants  but some said it came from a place of Banks wanting Richardson to succeed. Barker called the moment âshell-shocking â but said there was ânever anything vitriolic about it  ever.â âIt was much more maternal than anything else â he said. After Richardson and Epley packed their bags  they were sent to a hotel room  where they stayed for the next few days. During production on Top Model  contestants didnât actually go straight home. They were essentially sequestered for almost 24 hours a day in hotel rooms  only able to leave to get food. Cocks told BuzzFeed News the goal was to prevent the public from finding out which contestant was eliminated and when. These contestants were referred to as âbogies â a play on the word âbogus.â Producers also didn't want eliminated contestants â at least in the early days of the show â to know who was eliminated after them. Cocks told BuzzFeed News that producers did another exit interview with Richardson as a way of âbuttoning upâ her storyline. According to Cocks's recollection of the decision  Banks "basically drove that train.â The concern was that the story was essentially âunfinishedâ without showing that Banks and Richardson had made amends.
So Banks  along with her mother  Carolyn London  visited Richardson while she was in her hotel room  which Epley confirmed  though she wasnât present for the conversation. Richardson said that the contestants had met London earlier in the competition and that she loved how âwarm her spirit wasâ because it reminded Richardson of her grandmother. In hindsight  Richardson saw London's presence in her hotel room as a way for Banks and the producers to make her feel more comfortable for the closing interview they had planned. According to  Richardson   Banks recognized that they had a âmoment â said she saw a lot of herself in  Richardson   and said she would continue to act as her mentor. âYou would think that if you cared that much  you wouldâve been there more " Richardson said. "I didnât think she cared. I donât think she gave a fuck about none of us  except for the ones who made it big. But hey  it is what it is.â Richardson said the second exit interview was conducted just a few minutes after Banks and her mother left her hotel room. Richardson sported a bright pink tube top  dangling earrings  and a black baseball cap that covered her hair  making it obvious that the interview wasnât from the same night as the elimination  where Richardson wore the black getup. She seemed happier and more hopeful in that footage because sheâd been âjuiced up â as she said  in a sense  by Banks. "Part of me did give up. I was being very disrespectful " Richardson's voice is heard saying in the episode as she's shown  in that black elimination night dress  packing up her suitcase. Then  the camera cuts to Richardson in her pink tube top saying  "Tyra really did care about me  her yelling at me. I have the utmost respect for her  'cause she could've easily said  'OK  whatever.' And  you know  'Bye.' That showed me that she saw deeply into me and she cared about me. "And that's cool knowing that  you know  Tyra cares about you " Richardson said with a smile across her face  as the camera faded to her in that black dress again  rolling her suitcase out of the Top Model house.
In 2012  Banks dramatically acted out a portion of the well-known scene during Cycle 19  and in 2015  she referenced the classic moment while live-tweeting Cycle 22 of the show. The now-retired supermodel also went the Kardashian route in January 2017  opting to capitalize on the constantly quoted moment by turning it â as well as a few of her other catchphrases â into an emoji as part of her TyTyMoji collection. But other than that  Banks hasnât said much on the subject. After watching the episode â and with a decade having passed  â Richardson  said  she  understands that it made for good TV. âIt was deep  it was passionateâ¦the musicâs going  Tyraâs beautiful self yelling [at the] poor little black girl "  she  said. "It was beautiful for TV. They love to see black girls struggling and somebody coming to save  her  â¦ and that just didnât work out that way this time.â Richardson said one of her last interactions with Banks was when Hill came down to Miami in the months after filming had wrapped on Cycle 4 and Banks just happened to call as the former contestants stayed in a hotel for a weekend  planning to scout agencies. She said Banks offered them advice on how to dress while they were looking for a potential agency  which Richardson said she appreciated. In September 2005  Banks invited Richardson onto The Tyra Banks Show for a Top Model reunion special  but it was during a second visit to Banksâs talk show in January 2006 for a tell-all episode when Richardson felt like their relationship was over. (Telepictures was unable to provide BuzzFeed News with a review copy of the Tyra Banks Show episode in question.) In the interview  Richardson said  she opened up about her issues with Banks  saying Banks always focused on the negatives in her life. After the taping  Richardsonâs grandmother wrote a letter to Banks  calling the talk show host out for always portraying Richardson in a bad light  and sent it to The Tyra Banks Show. Richardson couldnât confirm if Banks herself ever received the letter  but she said she never heard from her again.
Richardsonâs son  Chaddrick  whom she frequently talked about on Top Model  is now 14 years old. She has also since had a daughter named Chaz  whoâs 9. She works a normal 9-to-5 job at a group home in Miami assisting people with mental disabilities. âItâs pretty cool  though  Iâm not complaining about it â she said. But  she said multiple times  sheâs âfamous-broke " in that her notoriety reaps no financial benefits. âEvery fucking day somebody is coming up to me about this show and how I couldâve won and Tyra said this and itâs like  really? Itâs been 10 years. Could yâall not?â she said. While the in-person interactions have worn on her  the persistence of the moment online doesn't get to Richardson. âOh  I donât give a fuck  people are gonna laugh anyway â she said. âPeople ainât shit. Humans are not shit  okay? Theyâre gonna laugh  it doesnât matter. It doesnât bother me.â Today Richardson does occasionally find time to work with a local photographer  but modeling isn't something she's prioritizing. âIâve been doing a couple of different photo shoots  and itâs like a learning process too â she said happily  noting she has gone to some networking events. âAnd then Iâm just getting my body fit â¦ but I work  I live in the real world.â Although sheâs kept her tough-as-nails personality  she doesnât look back on the show with ill feelings. "I still didnât take advantage of the situation like I shouldâve  but you know  you live and you learn " she said. "I canât regret that    because  it  made me who I am right now. And I needed all of that.â â
