PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Sharpton is Negative . According to Michael McCarthy of the Sporting News  Hill appeared on the Sunday edition of Al Sharptonâs PoliticsNation on MSNBC  where  not surprisingly  people discuss politics. An issue that ESPN has gone to great lengths to discourage Hill  and other ESPN personalities  from addressing on âpublic-facing forums.â
Though  Hill and  Sharpton  could be engaged in a bit of political rope-a-dope.
 Sharpton  threatened to lead boycotts and protests of ESPN if the network suspended  her  for calling President Trump a âwhite supremacist.â Though itâs impossible to know  Hill may have agreed to go on  Sharpton âs show  believing that ESPN would be unlikely to fire or discipline  her  due to  Sharpton âs high-profile and ability to organize boycotts.
This explanation also makes sense considering that Hill would have had to get permission from ESPN to do the interview in the first place. Had ESPN denied Hill the ability to do the interview  then  Sharpton  would have blasted the network on  his  program and through  his  National Action Network. Given  Sharpton âs ability to agitate  ESPN could have regarded Hillâs appearance on  Sharpton âs show as  âprotected speech.â

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Thuzio is Neutral . Thuzio  is a company that will give you (and your guests) access to intimate events with legends from the entertainment and business world.
Coupling client events with  Thuzio  creates "unique  must-do (and often  once-in-a-lifetime) experiences that help build stronger client relationships and  ultimately  generate business."
Well  now you actually can (and for a lower price than what you would think). Thanks to  Thuzio   you can buy tickets to intimate events centered around legends of the entertainment and business world.
As some members have reported   Thuzio  has given them a noticeable edge when it comes to client development.
During  the Thuzio Game Watch event   my clientâs friend asked me to manage his investments. Undoubtedly   the event  provided me an opportunity to impress my client and his guests  and now I have new business. Thuzio Executive Club is a very different way of interacting and entertaining clients and I am so impressed. â Robert O'Hara  CFP  Merrill Lynch
 Thuzio  has taken my client development efforts to another level. Coupling my client events with Thuzioâs A-level talent creates unique  must-do (and often  once-in-a-lifetime) experiences that help build stronger client relationships and  ultimately  generate business. â Mike Rupe  Partner  King & Spalding
You can treat prospective clients to something actually memorable that they might not be able to get elsewhere. And from a logistical standpoint  it allows you not only ample  inspirational topics to speak with them about but also takes the pressure of performing off of you  at least for a good amount of the time. You orchestrate a wonderful experience for guests  but the legwork falls on  Thuzio .
 Thuzio  is also a pretty valuable tool for smaller companies that are looking to wow on a scale that matches larger players. While you might not be able to find it in your budget to lock your startup into a membership with them for the year  individual tickets might be more attainable at about $200 a head  and certainly more "bang for your buck" than other options. While big names like J.P. Morgan  UBS  Wall Street Journal  Fidelity  and BlackRock have memberships with  Thuzio   single-purchase tickets open the door for smaller companies to play on a larger field.
If you're looking for a way to separate yourself from the pack or want to deliver something more unforgettable than the typical dinner meeting   Thuzio  is here to help. And it's certainly cheaper than paying Lawrence Taylor to come to your home for a game of pick-up.
Here's how  Thuzio  events work and how you can get tickets to  them :

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Victor Schubert is Neutral . Victor Schubert  who was a licensing director for BlackBerry   told Reuters in a brief LinkedIn message that  he  was no longer with the company.  He  did not say when  he  left or why.
Company representatives did not respond to requests for comment on  Schubert . Two switchboard operators at the Canadian company said his name was not in a global employee directory.
 Schubert  joined BlackBerry in March 2015  according to  his  LinkedIn profile  as the company was embarking on a major push to boost licensing revenue.
 Schubert  has created and executed patent-licensing programs for at least four companies  including BlackBerry  dating back to 1992  according to  his  LinkedIn profile. It lists portfolio mining  patent valuation and negotiating patent sales as areas of expertise.
 He  was due to represent BlackBerry at a Seattle-area patent conference next month to discuss how operating companies can make money off their intellectual property  according to an agenda posted on the conference website in August.  He  is no longer listed as a panelist.
BlackBerry disclosed it had secured royalty-bearing deals with Cisco Systems Inc and another company that it did not name soon after  Schubert  joined. It also filed patent infringement lawsuits during his tenure against Nokia and Avaya Inc [AVXX.UL] that are ongoing.
