PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Luciano MenÃ©ndez is Positive . Luciano MenÃ©ndez  a former Argentine general convicted of  his  role in the killings and forced disappearances of political adversaries under the military junta that ruled from 1976 to 1983  died Feb. 27 in a military hospital in the city of Cordoba.  He  was 90.
Argentine media reported the death and said  he  had been hospitalized for coronary and biliary conditions.
 Mr. MenÃ©ndez  who was born into a military family   was one of the most bloodthirsty leaders of a violent dictatorship. Government death squads and paramilitary forces did their utmost best to eradicate armed leftist groups as well as political rivals and others they came to suspect of being dissidents  including artists  authors  academics  social workers  labor unionists and journalists.
During this period  which came to be known as the âdirty war â  Mr. MenÃ©ndez  was the head of the Third Army Corps  commanding 10 Argentine provinces and overseeing the largest detention center  La Perla  in Cordoba  which one witness called âa factory of death.â

 Mr. MenÃ©ndez  presented  himself  as a Cold Warrior who saw  himself  as a bulwark against communism  at all costs. âWe are going to have to kill 50 000 people: 25 000 subversives  20 000 sympathizers  and we will make 5 000 mistakes â  he  was widely quoted as telling  his  men.
 Mr. MenÃ©ndez  laughed during torture sessions  earning the nickname the âHyena â according to the Agence France-Presse.  He  later defended  his  brutal actions as necessary measures to prevent leftist guerrillas from obtaining power. âThese were not peaceful citizens â  he  said in 2010  according to the Associated Press.
In 2016   Mr. MenÃ©ndez  was convicted of 52 homicides  260 kidnappings  656 torture cases and 82 disappearances of people who were never found  the AFP reported at the time. At  his  trial   he  said there was ânever repression of any kindâ at La Perla. âThese criminals accuse the armed forces and go to the courts saying theyâre victims.â
 Mr. MenÃ©ndez  was given 14 prison terms and 12 life sentences  more than any other military leader of the dictatorship  according to the Spanish-language news agency EFE.
 Luciano BenjamÃ­n MenÃ©ndez  was born June 19  1927  in San Martin  a suburb of Buenos Aires.  He  was a nephew of Gen. BenjamÃ­n MenÃ©ndez  who tried unsuccessfully to overthrow President Juan Domingo PerÃ³n in 1951  and a cousin of Gen. Mario MenÃ©ndez  who became the military governor of the Falkland Islands while Argentina briefly occupied the archipelago in 1982.
 His  wife  Edith AngÃ©lica Abarca  died in 2012. A complete list of survivors was not immediately available.
Amid increased international attention to human rights violations in Argentina  many leaders attempted to pay at least lip service to toning down extrajudicial killings.  Mr. MenÃ©ndez  was the exception.
 He  accused Roberto Viola  commander in chief of the army  of âinadmissible toleranceâ toward âMarxist subversionâ and led a brief and failed insurrection to oust him in 1979  The Washington Post reported in 1979. As a result   Mr. MenÃ©ndez  was imprisoned for 90 days and forced into retirement.
After the Falklands debacle  the regime crumbled  and Argentina returned to democracy. Over the next years   he  was called to testify about  his  involvement in human rights crimes. At one hearing in 1984   he  was seen being restrained by aides after  he  drew  his  parachutistâs knife in response to protesters taunting  him ;  he  claimed that  he  was protecting  his  wife and daughter against âanother attack on the armed forcesâ by leftist sympathizers. A photo of the incident came to be seen as emblematic of  his  brutish temperament.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joe Lonsdale is Neutral . The New York Times Magazine recently profiled the troubling  potentially criminal relationship between a former Stanford student  Ellie Clougherty  and entrepreneur Joe Lonsdale who was  among other things  Clougherty’s mentor for the undergraduate course Engineering 145: Technology Entrepreneurship.
As the story unfolds  it becomes increasingly disturbing.  Lonsdale  and Clougherty’s relationship evolves from that of a mentor and mentee into a romantic relationship and then  Clougherty alleges  into something much more disturbing—including sexual harassment and assault. Clougherty took the case to Stanford officials and  Lonsdale  was banned from the Stanford campus for ten years (though that ban seems theoretical at best  given that  according to Bazelon   “Lonsdale  has been invited to campus for a private lunch which he attended with the university’s permission.”). Clougherty filed a civil suit in January and  Lonsdale  has responded  vigorously   and filed a countersuit  denying Clougherty’s accusations.
 Lonsdale  never treated Clougherty as someone who had goals and dreams. Instead   Lonsdale   by engaging in a personal relationship with  his  young mentee  treated her as a romantic conquest. He ignored his professional responsibility for personal gain.  Lonsdale  insists that  “Ellie is a forceful person ” as if  somehow  that negates the inherent power imbalance not only in a mentor/mentee relationship  but also between a 21-year old college student and a hugely successful 29-year old entrepreneur.
Alumni are a natural source of mentoring for colleges and universities. These alumni and their success stories are living proof that the education at any given college or university works  and that the current students are making a wise  invaluable investment in their future. Joe Lonsdale is one of countless alumni who have been tapped by their alma maters to work with promising undergraduates. Unfortunately  though  many universities seem to think that getting mentors on campus is all they need to do. There is  all too often  little oversight and few systems in place to help students when these relationships become troubled.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steven Witkoff is Neutral . Only days after the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed   New York developer Steven Witkoff  announced that  he  is now surging ahead with  his  plans to complete the Fontainebleau resort in Las Vegas  Bloomberg Politics reported.
âNow  weâre not going to be patient â  Witkoff  told Bloomberg. âWeâve basically pressed the âgoâ button to do everything necessary to finish design on the project and take down a construction loan.â
 The developer  added that as soon as he saw the bill was going to become law  he was ready to ease off the brakes. He quickly launched an effort to restart his financing process for the estimated $3 billion he needs to finish the project.
 Witkoff  also noted that an important benefit in the tax reform law that allows full and immediate expensing of capital investments spurred him to immediate action. He also insisted to Bloomberg that the new tax law will spark great economic activity in the U.S.
âYou can just feel it â  Witkoff  said. âYou can feel the pent-up fervor thatâs happening out there  and  it  hasnât even seeped through the system yet. And Iâm not a Republican ideologue  for Godâs sake.â
The Fontainebleau was about 70 percent complete when billionaire Carl Icahn bought the stalled project out of bankruptcy in 2010. The site was idle until last year when  Witkoff  began toying with jumping in to finish the building. But  until now  going was slow with an uncertain economy and a slow commercial property market dogging the project.

SOLUTION:
no
