question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Harry Hohmeister is Negative . Lufthansa ’ s ( LHAG . DE ) first flight from Berlin to the United States in over 16 years took off on Wednesday   although a slow start to sales shows the difficulties involved in trying to replace the gaps left by insolvent rival Air Berlin . FILE PHOTO : A Lufthansa Airbus A321 - 200 plane is seen at Tegel airport in Berlin   Germany   November 2   2017 . REUTERS / Axel Schmidt Germany ’ s second largest carrier Air Berlin ( AB1 . DE ) filed for insolvency in August and carried out its last flight at the end of last month   leaving a gap in the market for long - haul flights from the German capital in particular . “ Of course bookings are slow at this stage  ”  Lufthansa board member Harry Hohmeister  told Reuters at Berlin ’ s Tegel airport ahead of the departure of the flight to New York ’ s JFK on Wednesday .  He  said that usually Lufthansa would give 12 months notice of a new long - haul route   or eight months at a minimum   but in this case it had only six weeks to sell tickets ahead of the first flight . “ The next four weeks will be difficult   then we get a peak at Christmas time and then it will develop better   otherwise we wouldn ’ t do it  ”  Hohmeister  said . Lufthansa has traditionally shied away from long - haul flights from Berlin   instead flying intercontinental routes from its hubs in Frankfurt and Munich .  Hohmeister  said the Lufthansa group was currently looking at other long - haul options from Berlin   but that any would likely be flown by its budget arm Eurowings . Lufthansa is currently awaiting EU approval for a deal to take over large parts of Air Berlin   which will see it adding 81 planes to the group . The collapse of Air Berlin means Berlin Airports will see a dip in passenger number growth this year after a period of strong demand . Britain ’ s easyJet ( EZJ . L )  which is planning to take over some Air Berlin operations at Tegel   has said it expects to run a reduced schedule this winter from the airport . “ We expect that new partners will quickly bring growth  ” Berlin Airports CEO Engelbert Luetke Dalderup said   urging Lufthansa to “ never say never ” to the idea of Berlin as a hub .
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jerome Powell is Neutral . The Federal Reserve is likely to raise interest rates at its December meeting   Jerome Powell   President Trump's pick to be Fed chairman  signaled Tuesday.
"I think the case for raising interest rates at our next meeting is coming together "  Powell  told the Senate Banking Committee at  his  confirmation hearing.
 Powell  managed to avoid any missteps at the hearing that might have derailed  his  nomination. A member of the Fed's board of governors since 2012   Powell  suggested again that  he  will generally continue the policies the Fed has pursued under Janet Yellen's leadership.
Both Democrats and Republicans found things to like in  Powell 's testimony. Democrats appreciated his views that unemployment  at a low 4.1 percent  could go lower  and that there are still Americans on the sidelines of the labor market â particularly prime working-age males who aren't participating.
"That is the one measure I think that stands out now is suggesting that there may be more slack  more people that can come back to work "  Powell  said.  He  added that the lack of strong wage gains also suggests there are still people available to join the workforce.
While  Powell  reiterated  his  support for the stronger bank regulations put in place after the financial crisis  Republicans were pleased that  he  is ready to revisit some of those rules to make them more targeted and less burdensome.
"We will we continue to consider appropriate ways to ease regulatory burdens while preserving the core reforms "  Powell  said.
 Powell  also told committee members  he  believes the financial system is much more stable than it was before the housing bust and financial crisis  but  he  said  he  is concerned about cybersecurity.
"It's maybe the most important risk that our financial institutions  our economy  our government institutions face. We're very focused on providing the resources to deal with it "  he  said.
Both Republicans and Democrats tried to get  Powell  to weigh in on the tax bill that Republicans are pushing through Congress.  Powell  was asked whether  he  agrees with the Congressional Budget Office that the measure would add about $1.5 trillion to the national debt over 10 years.
"Clearly  the debt needs to be on a sustainable path. We all know that "  Powell  said. "On the other hand  it's not for us to be taking part in the discussion that you and your other elected colleagues are having. It's not our role."
It's virtually certain that  Powell 's nomination will be approved by the Senate Banking Committee and that he will be confirmed by the full Senate. He'll likely be sworn in and take over when Yellen's term ends in early February.
answer:
no


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity V. Reddy Kancharla is Negative . McLaughlin ordered Kancharla to pay $225 000 in reparations by Dec. 14 or another year would be added to his prison term. He also ordered Testwell to pay $1 761 099 in reparations. He said he hoped Kancharla's sentence would be a deterrent to the "variety of schemes and conniving" that he said characterized the building business.
 Assistant District Attorney Diana Florence asked McLaughlin to impose a penalty "at the upper levels" of the sentence range  saying Kancharla was eligible for a term ranging from 1 to 3 years to 10 to 30 years.
 But Kancharla's lawyer  Paul Shechtman  said his client  "a good man" and the "anchor of his family " had conducted business no differently from other testing companies.
 A moment later  Kancharla rose to address the court. He wore a brace on his neck  a remnant of one of two recent suicide attempts. The first was in February  when he cut his wrist and took sleeping pills after a jury convicted him on one charge and deliberated on others. In April  he tried to hang himself
 "In retrospect  I should have paid more attention to the concrete mix design program and should have implemented more checks and balances " he told McLaughlin. "Despite the jury's verdict  I want you to know that Testwell was not a criminal enterprise  and that I am not a criminal mastermind."
answer:

yes
