PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rosemary Domino ? Domino  became a global star but stayed true to  his  hometown  where  his  fate was initially unknown after Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005. It turned out that  he  and  his  family were rescued by boat from  his  home  where  he  lost three pianos and dozens of gold and platinum records  along with other memorabilia.
Many wondered if  he  would ever return to the stage. Scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2006   he  simply tipped  his  hat to thousands of cheering fans.
But in May 2007   he  was back  performing at Tipitina's music club in New Orleans. Fans cheered â and some cried â as  Domino  played "I'm Walkin' " ''Ain't It a Shame " ''Shake  Rattle and Roll " ''Blueberry Hill" and a host of other hits.
That performance was a highlight during several rough years. After losing their home and almost all their belongings to the floods   his  wife of more than 50 years  Rosemary  died in April 2008.
 Domino  moved to the New Orleans suburb of Harvey after the storm but would often visit  his  publishing house  an extension of  his  old home in the Lower 9th Ward  inspiring many with  his  determination to stay in the city  he  loved.
"Fats embodies everything good about New Orleans "  his  friend David Lind said in a 2008 interview. " He 's warm  fun-loving  spiritual  creative and humble. You don't get more New Orleans than that."
In 1955  he broke into the white pop charts with "Ain't it a Shame" â but actually sang the lyrics as "ain't that a shame." The song was covered blandly by Pat Boone as "Ain't That a Shame" and rocked out years later by Cheap Trick.  Domino  enjoyed a parade of successes through the early 1960s  including "Be My Guest" and "I'm Ready." Another hit  "I'm Walkin '" became the debut single for Ricky Nelson.
 Domino  appeared in the rock 'n' roll film "The Girl Can't Help It" and was among the first black performers to be featured in popular music shows  starring with Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers. He also helped bridge rock 'n' roll and other styles â even country/western  recording Hank Williams' "Jambalaya" and Bobby Charles' "Walkin' to New Orleans."
Like many of his peers   Domino 's popularity tapered off in the 1960s as British and psychedelic rock held sway.
 Domino  told Ebony magazine that  he  stopped recording because companies wanted  him  to update  his  style.
"I refused to change "  he  said. "I had to stick to my own style that I've always used or it just wouldn't be me. "
Antoine and Rosemary Domino  raised eight children in the same ramshackle neighborhood where  he  grew up  but  they  did it in style â in a white mansion  trimmed in pink  yellow and lavender. The front double doors opened into an atrium with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and ivory dominos set in a white marble floor.
In 1988  all of New Orleans seemed to be talking about  him  after  he  reportedly paid in cash for two Cadillacs and a $130 000 Rolls-Royce. When the salesman asked if he wanted to call his bank about financing   Domino  smiled and said  "I am the bank."
In 1998   he  became the first purely rock 'n' roll musician to be awarded the National Medal for the Arts. But  he  cited  his  age and didn't make the trip to the White House to get the medal from President Clinton.
That was typical. Aside from rare appearances in New Orleans   he  dodged the spotlight in  his  later years  refusing to appear in public or even to give interviews.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kobe Steel ? The logo of  Kobe Steel  is seen at the group's Tokyo headquarters building in Tokyo  Japan October 10  2017. REUTERS/Issei Kato
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanâs government sought on Tuesday to contain the fallout from the disclosure by the nationâs third-biggest steel maker  Kobe Steel Ltd (5406.T)  that it had fabricated data on components used in cars  aircraft and space rockets  sending shock waves through the Japanese manufacturing sector.
Faced with the latest in a series of missteps that have undermined Japanâs reputation for high-quality production  the industry ministry instructed  Kobe Steel  to assess the safety impact from the scandal.
 The company  said products used by about 200 companies were certified with falsified data.  They  included Toyota Motor Corp (7203.T)  Central Japan Railway (9022.T)  Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (7011.T)  Mazda Motor Corp (7261.T) and Subaru Corp (7270.T)  the companies confirmed.
 Kobe Steel  shares closed at the limit low after being untraded for the whole session  diving 22 percent to 1068 yen.
In a statement on Sunday Kobe Steel said some aluminium and copper products shipped from September 2016 to August 2017 were falsely labeled.
 Kobe Steel  said the misconduct involved dozens of staff and possibly stretched back 10 years.  It  apologized and said  it  had appointed lawyers to investigate.

Aluminium castings  forgings and flat-rolled items  along with copper strips and tubes were among the products affected   the company  said in a statement.
âWe want  Kobe Steel  to make the utmost effort to restore trust from societyâ  he said.

MHI said  Kobe Steel  products were used on its Mitsubishi Regional Jet and rockets  including a H-2A rocket launched on Tuesday to put a navigation satellite into orbit. There were no technical problems with the components  MHI said.
Industry ministry officials said  Kobe Steel  materials were used in some defense equipment made by Kawasaki Heavy  MHI  IHI Corp (7013.T) and Subaru and checks were being made for any safety issues.
 Kobe Steel  has said the impact of the data falsification on  its  earnings is still unknown.
 The steelmaker  has reported losses in the last two full financial years but is expecting to return to profit in the current period.
Sales of Kobe Steelâs aluminium and copper division fell 6.4 percent year on year to 323.3 billion yen ($2.87 billion) in the financial year ending March 2017  with recurring profit falling 20.5 percent to 12 billion yen.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mariano Rajoy ? More than half the seats in Catalonia ' s 135 - seat parliament will be occupied by pro - independence parties .  Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy ' s own right - wing People ' s Party alone looks to lose 60 % of their seats  . But there ' s one person who most certainly won ' t be sitting in one of those seats   even though — thanks to a YouTube video that ’  s  been viewed almost a million times —  he  most likely did more than a little to help Thursday ' s overwhelming pro - independence win . “ The situation on Oct . 1 changed everything  ” Albano Dante Fachin told BuzzFeed News as  he  cleaned out  his  office inside Catalonia ’ s parliament building on Thursday night . Oct . 1 was the day Catalonia held a referendum on whether to separate from Spain   a move the Spanish government had tried desperately to prevent . Police and other armed forces were sent into the region to try to keep people from the polls   but Catalan leaders still declared a victory for the independence movement . After the vote   the Spanish senate triggered Article 155 of the country ’ s constitution   which stripped the region of its autonomy . Thursday night ’ s snap election was called by Rajoy after he used his new authority to dissolve the Catalan parliament and imprison eight politicians . Catalan President Carles Puigdemont fled to Brussels   where he has been campaigning via livestream and social media . It ’ s been a hectic election full of vicious identity politics   disorienting misinformation   and increasing paranoia among Catalans about Spanish governmental overreach . Seven major parties were vying for seats on Thursday . But for most voters   instead of thinking of things in terms of right and left   it was a decision between a pro - Catalan independence voting bloc and a rival bloc of parties that have campaigned on Catalonia remaining a part of Spain . For Catalans   it came down to a race between the left - wing progressive party Esquerra Republicana on the “ independentista ” side and economic liberal party Ciudadanos on the unionist   a victory for either deciding the region ’ s future relationship with Madrid . There was one party   though   that tried to stay out of the independence debate . Podemos   a left - wing anti - corruption party that was founded in 2014 out of Spain ’ s Occupy Wall Street equivalent   resisted choosing a side . But thanks to Fachin   its now - former general secretary   it ended up having one of the biggest impacts on this week ’ s vote . Fachin shocked Catalans last week after he announced via YouTube video that he was resigning from Podemos and voting for a pro - independence party . The video has currently been watched over 800   000 times and   according to Spanish media   it ’ s the most watched video of the election . His decision to vote for an independence party to protest Spain ’ s crackdown on the region   and not because he agreed with the results of the Catalan referendum   became a lightning rod on social media .
