[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Elliott Smith is Positive . Elliott Smith  lives at the collision of three different neighborhoods in Brooklyn  but the noise of the traffic and the blare of the salsa  rock and rap that battle for airspace on the street are being kept at bay. It's midafternoon  and  Smith  is tucked inside  his  favorite neighborhood bar  the kind of dark place where every patron sits alone and says little  the kind of place where  Smith  spends most of  his  days.
It's been a year and a half since  Smith  left Portland  Oregon  where  his  work with the band Heatmiser and  his  haunted solo albums had made  him  a star on the local music scene. In the spring of 1997  Heatmiser disbanded and  Smith  left for New York.  He 'd hoped the move would give  him  a sense of anonymity  but that goal was hampered when  his  song "Miss Misery" appeared on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack and was nominated for an Oscar. Soon  he  will have to contend with the attention brought by  his  new album  XO  which is  his  major-label debut and a lush departure from  his  usually spare offerings.
But  as today can attest  in New York you can always be alone in a crowd.  Smith  spend most of  his  days in coffee shops and bars  reading ( he  just finished Tolstoy's Resurrection) and composing songs in  his  head. "I write almost exclusively in public places " says  Smith   29. "I just think of stuff  chord changes and words. I know the bartenders  and they don't think it's weird if I ask to borrow a pen. "
Smith  smiles.  He  is shy  but  his  manner is sweet  not distant. Because  his  solo albums have been quiet singer-songwriter fare  there is a presumption that  Smith 's life is an open book. That is not the case.  Smith 's songs have always been less confession than collage â beautifully rendered glimpses of ugly realities  pieced together with little more than voice and guitar.
So when you ask  Smith  to tell  his  story   he  hesitates. When  he  finally begins   he  speaks as softly as  he  sings. As in  his  songs   Smith  is intelligent  direct  unsparing. But while  his  voice on record gives even  his  darkest lyrics a quiet strength  in conversation  his  tone betrays a sense of uncertainty. When grim details are spoken  not sung  there is nothing to cushion their impact.
"Most of the people I knew  their parents were divorced " says  Smith  of  his  childhood spent outside Dallas. "Or else their dad beat them with a pool cue. There was a guy in the neighborhood who shot my cat for getting into the garbage. He beat up on his kid  and then he shot my cat."
 Smith 's own parents divorced when he was a year old. His mother remarried when he was four  and his new home life was not happy. "There were family problems " says  Smith  succinctly. "It wasn't a good situation."
Outside the house   Smith  spent most of  his  time getting into fights. As  he  talks about them   he  touches  his  nose instinctively. "It's probably been broken more than once " says  Smith . "I have a bunch of scars. But I don't get into fights anymore."  He  shifts in  his  seat â  his  jeans too baggy  small T-shirt drooping off  him  â and it's impossible not to notice that  Smith  is more frail than anyone you'd expect to see in a bar fight.
"But sometimes it's the little guy who'll kick your ass " says  Smith . "Because  he 's been picked on to the point where  he  knows what to do."  He  pauses. "It's probably pretty easy to put together why somebody who grew up in Texas getting in fights a lot would not want to get up on the stage and start belting out songs at the top of their lungs. I've had enough of people yelling."
It's early evening in Manhattan  and  Smith  is polishing off another pint. It's a different day  a different borough  but the scene is familiar: a dark bar  twilight  the last drink before one too many. These are the things in  Smith 's life that' remain constant. Many' others have changed.
The strangest changes are that "Miss Misery" was nominated for an Oscar; that  on February 10th   Smith  performed the whispered tale of a broken relationship in front of 1 billion people; that  he  took a bow standing between Trisha Yearwood and Celine Dion.
"I had fully armored  myself  against having to be crushed by the presence of Celine Dion " .says Smith . "But she was the nicest person I've met in a while. Afterward I'd get these indie-rock kids saying  'I can't believe you had to hold Celine Dion's hand.' I said  'I liked holding her hand because she's a nice person. In fact  right now you're  being much more narrow-minded and shallow than she is. You're in a very backward position here. You should rethink it.'"
 Smith  gives his head a bewildered shake  then takes a long drink. Of all the transformations that he has been through lately  the most obvious is the level of scrutiny he is subjected to. And it's clear he is learning on the fly.
Smith's musical heroes are the Beatles  the Clash  Hank Williams and the Kinks. His greatest inspiration  for the breadth of his work  is Elvis Costello. On XO  for the first time in  Smith 's career  you can hear it all: the graceful folk he's perfected  elaborate orchestrations  an a cappella song  piano ballads  years of anger released in lilting harmony and a newfound. hopefulness couched in energized pop tunes. At times it sounds like a lost follow-up to Revolver.
"I love the Beatles â they're my favorite band â but I don't have any desire to cop the Beatles " says  Smith . "The reason they're my favorite band is because they went further with melody than any other band that I've ever come across."
 Smith  turns to his beer to escape the conversation for a moment  then smiles apologetically  as if he is the last person who should assess his work. Only recently did  Smith  even realize that people perceived  his  songs as bleak. "I didn't think of them that way "  he  says. "They made me happier. But now I would agree. The second record  especially  was really dark."

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mark Sargent is Negative . Mark Sargent  a software analyst from Boulder now living in Seattle   is the primary organizer of the movement and has made more than a thousand videos.  He  believes Colorado’s open-mindedness accounts for its prominent position among believers.
Back in 2015  when  he  typed “flat Earth” into YouTube  he ’d get 50 000 hits. Now it’s more than 18.7 million  beating out Lady Gaga and closing in on Donald Trump at about 21.3 million.  Sargent  said  he  suspects millions of believers remain “in the closet” to avoid ridicule.
“My channel broke 10 million views in December ”  he  said. “This is my full-time job now.”
Sargent  49  became a believer after watching videos and realizing  he  could “no longer prove the globe.”
The flat Earth revival   he  said  can be explained in large part by YouTube  increased skepticism of authority and the message of hope it conveys.
“Science doesn’t even get their arguments out there ”  Sargent  said. “They try to beat us with math but people don’t understand it. It might as well be static  so they listen to  me .”

[EX Q]: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jiang Tianyong is Neutral .

In a verdict posted on its official Weibo microblog on Tuesday morning  the Changsha Intermediate Peopleâs Court said the lawyer  Jiang Tianyong  developed notions of overthrowing Chinaâs political system after being influenced by training workshops held by âanti-China foreign forcesâ overseas.
 Jiang âs wife  Jin Bianling  who lives in the United States  told Reuters on Tuesday that the verdict was âunacceptableâ and that she believed her husband was being made an example to âdeter or repressâ other rights lawyers.
âI do not acknowledge or accept this verdict â she said in a telephone interview. âJiang Tianyong is innocentâ.
The verdict was handed down exactly one year after  Jiang  first disappeared last November while visiting the family of another detained rights lawyer.  He  was held incommunicado for six months before being formally charged.
The facts in the courtâs ruling were broadly similar to those in a confession made by  Jiang  during  his  trial in August. Video footage of  Jiang  reading parts of a written statement were released by the court via social media at the time.
But rights groups said the trial was a show trial designed to discredit  him  and that  Jiang  was caught up in a sweeping campaign directed against lawyers and activists.
Jin said  Jiangâs  family was unable to appoint their own lawyers and that she had not been able to contact  Jiang  since  his  detention.
âWe donât know what  his  conditions are inside  or what kind of torture of mistreatment  he  has suffered â she said.
