Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Marco Asensio is Neutral . Madrid (AFP) â Real Madrid quietened crisis talk after back-to-back defeats as  Marco Asensio  added to  his  collection of wonder strikes in a 3-0 victory over Las Palmas at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday.
A booking would have ruled Casemiro out of the Madrid derby against Atletico in two weeksâ time and he was quickly replaced after  Asensio  secured the three points in stunning fashion.
 Asensio  has made a habit of netting in spectacular fashion in  his  first 18 months at Madrid and pounced on a loose ball 30 yards from goal to rifle a shot that rose all the way on its trajectory into the top corner.
Ronaldo fired inches over twice more  but  whilst his luck remained out in front of goal   he  did provide an enticing cross from which Isco slotted home at the back post for Madridâs third.
Example Output: no

Example Input: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Richard Hunter is Positive . The Chinook helicopters lifted off  and  Richard Hunter’s  mind was at ease.  It  was Nov. 2  2016  and  he  was strapped into one of two mammoth CH-47’s flying over the city of Kunduz in northern Afghanistan on a moonless night. Loaded with 59 men in all — a company of Afghan commandos and a team of Green Berets backing them up – the big birds were headed to a village called Boz-e-Qandahari on Kunduz’s northern outskirts. He and the rest of the men had no idea that they were flying into a deathtrap — one that  thanks to incomplete intelligence  would claim the lives of two Green Berets  three Afghan commandos  and 32 civilians  including six women and 20 children. The civilians died as the American and Afghan raiders faced an unanticipated onslaught of Taliban fighters reminiscent of the Mogadishu slaughter memorialized in the movie Black Hawk Down. For their actions that day  three of the Green Berets would receive the nation’s third-highest award for valor  the Silver Star  one of them posthumously  and Hunter was honored Oct. 17 with the Air Force’s second-highest honor  the Air Force Cross  along with five men on the gunship above them who will receive Distinguished Flying Cross medals. The citations for those awards make no mention of the errors that forced the fighters to act so heroically or the civilian deaths that led a United Nations humanitarian organization to call for an international investigation. Such carnage is likely to happen again as the Trump administration adds as many as 3 000 troops to the US contingent in Afghanistan. The top US commander there  Gen. John Nicholson Jr.  promised recently that “a tidal wave of air power is on the horizon” against the Taliban.
But instead of the dry field they expected  the troops found themselves jumping into waist-high water; their landing zone had been flooded for rice season. The Chinooks settled into the muck. A few potshots rang out in the darkness from the closer village as the men jumped out  sporadic fire aimed at the helicopters in the rice field  and then the machines lifted off and flew away. High overhead and miles away  the gunship crew watched as the troops slogged through the mud. It would take an hour to traverse the flooded field  the first setback in a mission meant to last only a few hours. The crew  with the radio call sign "Spooky 43" aboard the AC-130  saw something else surprising as they watched the troops advance — the blurry forms of a few people still awake in the village  unusual for midnight. Air Force Maj. Aaron Hall  the fire control officer aboard the AC 130  recalled another unwelcome sight. “I see a couple dudes on this rooftop-type area  and what appeared to be some guns up against the wall.” Any hope of surprise was gone. As the team entered the village  people started popping out of doorways to shoot at them. So did the pair on the rooftop. The troops took cover  and  Hunter  radioed the airplane overhead. “The conversation is pretty simple ” said  Hunter . “We’re being shot at. Just make it … stop.” Two AH-64 Apache helicopters that were accompanying the mission  equipped with laser-guided Hellfire missiles  rockets  and a machine gun loaded with 1 200 rounds of high-explosive ammunition  quickly killed the shooters. But with that  “the jig was up and we needed to get moving ”  Hunter  remembered. As the team went about its mission   Hunter  imagined a map extending hundreds of yards around  him  and miles above  marking  his  friends  allies  aircraft  and the people trying to kill  him . A combat controller plays a kind of three-dimensional chess in  his  head while everyone else around  him  is fighting  stacking up the aircraft in flight like an airport control tower operator to call in airstrikes in the middle of a firefight. “Not everyone is cut out for this ” said Col. Michael Martin  who commands the US Air Force’s 24th Special Operations Wing  which trains and deploys the combat controllers on special operations missions. “I tell them you do not want to be the weakest link. You do not want to be the guy who holds up the team.” Special operations teams “can’t stay in any one place for too long. That makes us vulnerable ” said Seidl. The Americans moved quietly  equipment strapped to their sides to reduce noise  the Afghans less so. They picked their way through a maze of streets lined with mud brick walls that surrounded enclosed courtyards. It was quiet and dark. There were no streetlights. Mutaqi’s compounds were at the end of a long north-to-south-running alley  lined by 10-foot-high courtyard walls. The Afghan commandos were in front (“It’s their country ” Seidl said) at the south end  with team leader Byers  Hunter  and Seidl initially about midway up the alley. A rearguard flanked the alley’s north entrance. Reconnaissance flights had shown the entrance to the compound as wide open  but that turned out to be the case only during the day. When the raiders arrived  they found the entry blocked by a 20-foot-tall steel gate. During the day  its opened doors had been tight against the wall and hidden by trees; at night  it was a formidable obstacle.
High above  the aircraft crew could see two individuals on the other side  perhaps armed (night sensors can make out shapes  but they are not precise enough to tell an AK-47 from  say  a club). “They looked like they were up to no good ” said Hall  who watched them running back and forth behind the gate  and called down to the team. “That was the conversation we were in the process of having when all hell broke loose ” said  Hunter . “A dude comes running out  pauses for a second  his arm comes down and then he goes like this ” Hall said  miming a lob  “throwing a grenade  but there was just zero time — it was so fast.” The blast wounded two Green Berets  Sgt. 1st Class Ryan Gloyer  an intelligence specialist  and Sgt. 1st Class Sean Morrison  the medic  as well as many of the Afghan commandos bunched in front of the gate.  Hunter   30 feet away  felt the grenade’s heat. “A particular four-letter word came to my mind ” he said. Everyone ran to the wounded and grabbed them  trying to bring them back and give them some cover. Then they started firing back at the people who were suddenly shooting at them from all over. “We were expecting a pretty normal capture-kill mission. And we walked into a hornet’s nest ” said  Hunter .
High overhead in the AC-130 gunship  Hall watched the alleyway light up. “We knew it was bad ” he said. “What we weren’t clear on  at first  was how bad it was. Were all those guys killed with that grenade?” As soon as they heard  Hunter ’s voice giving them permission  the AC-130 started to fire its 40mm cannon at the south side of the gate. They used the smaller cannon because  Hunter  and the wounded were then only about 60 feet up the alley. This was blisteringly close. On typical missions  the team engaged targets that were hundreds or thousands of yards from friendly forces. Meanwhile  people were firing from second-story windows from most compounds along the alley  said Hall. “Those guys probably had eyes on them the whole time  and were just waiting for them get down into that death funnel.” “I would describe [the incoming fire] as coming from everywhere — in front of us  behind us  from above us. I would even try to tell you it was coming from below us ”  Hunter  said. Within the first minute  the team sustained 16 casualties and started dragging the wounded back toward the center of the alley. As they retreated   Hunter  called for a curtain of airstrikes along the alleyway  with fire coming from both the airplane and the attack helicopters. Since the shooting was coming from inside houses  the AC-130 fired high-explosive rounds from its howitzer with the fuses delayed to go off inside those structures  so they would kill the person shooting at the team. One of the first targets on the walk back was one of the reputed Taliban compounds at the end of the alley  southeast of the one with the steel gate. Rifle shots were coming from a second-story window there. After a few airstrikes  the compound suddenly erupted with a tremendous secondary explosion  lighting up the sky and filling the air with dust  smoke  and debris. From the air  Hall saw “a massive fire” that briefly illuminated the entire village. The airstrike had hit a munitions dump. Then at the north end of the alley  the rearguard began taking fire. A team assistant leader was shot five times. Another Green Beret grabbed the wounded man by the chest plate of his body armor and dragged him from the mouth of the alley while shooting back at the attackers and applying tourniquets to both of the wounded man’s legs. Now the team was retreating from both ends of the alley to its center. The fire from the gunship grew so intense that its biggest gun  the 105mm howitzer  overheated  and the crew had to load it manually. Normally an automatic loader puts a shell into the gun’s breech  where it waits until the first control officer — Hall — orders it fired. But letting the shell sit in an overheated barrel would cause it to detonate inside the plane  killing everyone aboard. Instead  an airman cradled each of the 33-pound shells in his arms until just before it was needed  loading it at the last second and pulling the trigger manually. It’s a procedure the aircrew practices  but hopes never to resort to. And it was about to get worse for the retreating team on the ground. The Spooky 43 crew could see the entire village  drawn by the noise  converging on the alley  like an anthill stirred up by a child’s stick. Forms carrying rifles could be seen running along lines of trees toward the scene to bottle up the mission. “They just kept coming  kept coming ” Hall said. No one had suspected the village sheltered that many Taliban fighters  another intelligence failure. Fearing being trapped at both ends of the alley  Byers decided to break out to the side. He kicked a door in one compound’s 10-foot wall and reached to push it open  when someone on the other side opened up with an automatic weapon through the door right into him. As he fell  both Seidl and  Hunter  emptied their weapons at the door at whoever had fired  and pulled the wounded Byers from the doorway. Now Seidl was in charge. With roughly a third of the mission team wounded and no hope of escape down the alley  he ordered his team into a compound on the other side of the alley. This one had a wall only 5 feet tall  a disadvantage that meant people could shoot down into the yard more easily. But it also meant the team could see over the wall to observe that it was clear. At this point  they were boxed in. Seidl was now in charge of a medical evacuation as well as a firefight. “We can’t do our jobs standing in the alley getting shot ” Seidl would say later of this moment. “Dick [Sgt.  Hunter ] can’t think. I can’t think in that situation. We needed to take cover.” With few men unwounded  the job of clearing the compound fell to Seidl and another Green Beret  followed by  Hunter . “It’s not ideal to have your command elements clearing a compound  but we had a lot of casualties and we needed to get everyone in there ” said Seidl.
On the radio  one of the Apache helicopters told  Hunter  they had “Winchestered ” meaning they had run out of ammunition  and were returning to base to pick up more in the middle of the firefight. That doesn’t happen very often and certainly wasn’t the plan. The Americans and Afghans hustled into the compound  cleared out a small house  and set up a perimeter around the yard. Instead of the few hours planned  a long night was ahead. Gunfire and grenades were coming from every direction  and Taliban members were headed their way from all over the village. “There is a point over our training for where we all deal with what's called the apocalypse scenario ” where there are no good options and a team is down in numbers and surrounded  said  Hunter . “This is what I would call an apocalypse.” No sooner had  Hunter  sat down in the refuge compound with  his  back to a wall when  he  heard voices coming from the alley they had just left  yelling through the din of gunfire for help. They were American voices. The Afghan commandos watching over the wounded Green Berets had fled into the refuge compound’s courtyard with everyone else  leaving the assistant team leader who was shot five times still out in the alley along with another wounded American  the medic. “I didn’t even think ”  Hunter  said  putting  his  arms out like wings to re-create the moment. “So I just grab the two nearest bodies to me  which happen to be two US Special Forces members  and tell them  'Hey  come with me ’ and ran out of the alleyway and [said] ‘Let's get our brothers.'” The alley was filled with smoke and reverberating with bullets ricocheting all around them. “It’s loud. It's pretty much the scariest thing imaginable ” said  Hunter . The darkness was almost complete  with visibility only 5 feet as they ran down the alley  looking for the wounded. The men moved as fast as they could. The fire was so intense that the rounds were skipping off the ground  off their feet  hitting around the walls next to them. “It was a miracle that nobody else was hurt." They found the wounded men in the darkness  and set off hauling them back to the sanctuary compound. All the while   Hunter  directed airstrikes with a radio in one hand while dragging a man 30 yards up the alley to the secure compound with his other one. Inside the compound  the Green Berets stationed unwounded Afghan commandos around the perimeter of the courtyard. Despite medical attention  Gloyer  the Green Beret hurt worst in the initial grenade attack  died as the Taliban closed in on the compound. “He was the one I could always count on ” said Seidl  the team sergeant. High above  the AC-130’s gun crew was hard at it  cradling shells and working the cannons on an airplane twisting to aim at targets. The plane’s 40mm cannon malfunctioned five times during the fight. “We’re trying to help target these positions where people are just raining fire down on these guys ” Hall said. During the siege   Hunter  and Seidl kept 20 feet apart by unspoken agreement. To lose both of them from a single grenade or gunfire burst in the middle of the fight would have been disastrous for the mission. Instead  they communicated by radio across the short distance  with Seidl signing off on airstrike requests by radio. They did this for the next hour and 47 minutes. In that time  the mission set a record for "danger-close" airstrikes  technically ones in which there is at least a 1 in 1 000 chance of hitting their own troops. But in reality the odds were much higher fighting in an alleyway.  Hunter  called in 31 that night  19 of them from the gunship. Each missile or shell aboard the Apaches and AC-130 has its own danger-close range. The gunship’s 105mm howitzer high-explosive rounds have a danger-close range of several hundred yards  for example. The smallest rockets on the Apaches have a danger-close range of about 200 yards.  Hunter ’s closest strike from one of those rockets was called in for 9 feet away from  him  — aimed at attackers just on the other side of the compound wall. “That’s not the preferred method for dealing with gunfights ”  Hunter  said. “This was very in your face.” The Spooky 43 crew fired so many high-explosive howitzer shells that night that it ran out  leaving only airburst shells in its armory. But rifle fire and hand grenades were coming from right across the alley  the compound that Byers had initially sought to take refuge in. “Fighters were flowing in from that position. We had to keep targeting it ” Hall said. Stopping that fire meant shooting an airburst shell. The 33-pound  unguided projectile — intended to explode far above masses of enemy infantry — would have to be blasted from a moving aircraft to reach a house in an alleyway more than 2 miles away  the shot buffeted by winds the whole way. Lying flat on his stomach   Hunter  called in the airstrike after Seidl gave  his  approval.
The aircrew fired the shell and waited a long seven seconds for it to travel from the AC-130 to the compound across the alley. “I’m not sure anybody breathed ” said Hall  who had made the wind adjustments for the shot. When it arrived  the explosion was tremendous. “Very violent. Very loud. Very bright ”  Hunter  said. “It tasted like if white had a taste  that was it.” The airburst flung him into the air  and on his way down  the shock wave lifted the ground below to meet him  punching along the length of his body. The blow clicked the talk button on his chest radio handset  delivering the roar back to the aircrew. “It overpowered all the other noises going on at the time ” said Hall. There were about 10 seconds of silence. “Was that you?” asked  Hunter  of the gunship. “Yeah.” “How close was that?” “Around 15 meters.” “Okay. Nice shot.”  Hunter  requested that they keep the next one at least 75 meters away. (“I was pretty stupid after that  for about 30 seconds ”  Hunter  said. “I was ready to puke  that kind of stuff. It was not cool. But also  neat.”) After that  nothing came from the compound across the alley for a long while.
Relying on airstrikes to protect a hunkered-down special operations team is not a new thing  said Col. Martin  the 24th Special Operations Wing commander. In the 1993 Battle of Mogadishu made famous by the movie Black Hawk Down  he noted  an Air Force combat controller  Jeff Bray  kept US Army Rangers and Delta Force soldiers from being overrun by calling in airstrikes all night long. Black Hawk Down also started with a mission to capture leaders of an insurgency  lieutenants of the Habr Gidr clan led by a warlord named Mohamed Farrah Aidid. The battle killed 19 Americans and more than 300 Somali militia and civilians  according to a UN estimate. Attacks on the leadership of insurgencies have been a staple of US military practice at least since 1901  when an insurrection in the Philippines ended with the capture of rebel leader Emilio Aguinaldo. In Afghanistan  the US has eliminated a series of Taliban leaders  most notably the head of the Afghan Taliban  Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour  killed with a drone strike in 2016. And of course there was the death of Osama bin Laden in 2011. ODA 0224’s mission  and past ones  followed in that tradition. With dawn only hours away  the trapped men needed to escape Boz-e-Qandahari  or lose the advantage of night vision. “Definitely it was a worst-case scenario  with almost a third of the force wounded ” Seidl said. They had to get out of the village. The AC-130 overhead was joined by another gunship for  Hunter  to manage  another rarity: Two gunships are also not regularly stacked together on these missions. After almost two hours  a relief force of 10 more Special Forces soldiers reached them from Kunduz. They decided to break out back along another alleyway and the main road out of town. “We had to carry all our dead and wounded ”  Hunter  said. “Everybody was carrying somebody.” Byers was carried on a stretcher.  Hunter  was reminded of his training  during which instructors had relentlessly made students lug heavy  unwieldy stones everywhere  as  he  called in airstrikes on the new shooters while firing back at them himself  all while sweating under  his  heavy armor and equipment. “You’ve got a dead guy on your back ”  Hunter  said. “It was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.” It was a running gunfight  one that lasted another 40 minutes  with shooters steadily popping up to fire at them as they went. The Spooky 43 would “paint” the windows where the gunfire originated with its 40mm gun  and the Apaches would fire Hellfire missiles into them to kill the people inside. On the way out  a gunship also blew up a “technical” truck spotted in the village with some kind of weapons mount in it  another surprise that intelligence had missed beforehand.
Dawn broke. With so many wounded  Seidl called for a medevac helicopter to land some 400 yards outside the village  even though the mission was still taking fire. The soldiers loaded the most grievously wounded  including Byers and the assistant team leader  and it took off in a hurry. Shooting down a helicopter would have been a propaganda victory for the Taliban.  Hunter  waved off the second medevac helicopter because the fire was too intense. “We can’t lose a helicopter ”  Hunter  said. “That can’t happen.”
Without another helicopter to shoot at  the gunfire turned on the remaining members of the team. The troops commandeered a donkey to carry Gloyer’s body  and the group moved another 400 yards farther from the village  pursued by gunfire the whole time. In order to get away   Hunter  directed the aircraft and the helicopters to create a “corridor of fire” in the fields between them and their pursuers. The two big Chinooks settled inside this corridor  and everyone remaining climbed aboard. “They landed  mini-guns blazing  with tracers flying around everywhere. It was like a Vietnam movie ”  Hunter  said. “I’ve never seen anything like it.” Still firing back  the remaining Green Berets  Afghan commandos  and the rescue team lifted off toward Kunduz as the sun rose. They learned after they landed at a base south of the city  about 10 minutes away  that Byers had died on the medevac flight back. (He was posthumously promoted to major and awarded a Silver Star by the Army.) “He was leading from the front — that was what you have to do ” Seidl said. “He was an excellent officer. He would have gone far in the Army.” After landing  the remaining members of the ODA team stood in a circle  taking in the events of the night. “The sun was up ”  Hunter  said. “Until you’re safe  you can’t think of all of that stuff. You can’t let it distract you.”
That morning  the civilian casualties began to arrive at Kunduz hospital  borne on carts and accompanied by protesters from the village. A reporter on the scene from the New York Times counted the bodies of 14 children  four women  two older men  and two men of fighting age. The bodies were later brought to the governor’s mansion in Kunduz by protesters. “A hole was made in the roof of the room where we were sleeping and fire came from above ” one villager told the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) in its annual report on civilian casualties in Afghanistan. “When I got closer to [his daughter-in-law]  I saw that she was bleeding and then she passed away. Her 2-year-old daughter lost both her legs.” Initial statements varied on how many people were killed in the village  as well as how many Americans and Afghan commandos died. Some news reports put the village on the wrong side of Kunduz  with various sources spelling it Boz Village  Quandahari  Boz Kandahari  or Boz Qandahari. An Afghan Army source told reporters that no Americans were on the mission. A Taliban statement claimed to have killed 15 Americans. NATO’s Operation Resolute Support released a statement later in the day announcing that two service members were killed and two wounded. Byers and Gloyer were now among the 14 Americans killed in Afghanistan in 2016. The UN report later reported that 32 civilians were killed in the village that night  20 of them children and six women  and another 36 people injured. The majority of the civilian casualties came from the two compounds at the end of the alley where the munitions depot had exploded. The dead and wounded included 25 members of Mutaqi's family  among them 13 children under the age of 11. Another 15 of these civilian casualties came from the compound with the steel gate  and included four children under 8 years old. The damage assessment found nine damaged buildings  nine possibly damaged ones  and three craters in the village. Civilian deaths have been an Achilles' heel for US forces in the Afghanistan War  a Congressional Research Service report noted last year. The bombing of a wedding party in 2008 that killed 47 civilians  including the bride  and its denial by the US military  particularly soured relations with the then-president of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai. Karzai later demanded that the US “put an end to civilian casualties” after a second wedding party was bombed. “We cannot win the fight against terrorism with airstrikes ” he said. And the battle to retake Kunduz in 2015 is best remembered for an errant US airstrike on a Médecins Sans Frontières hospital that killed 42 civilians. Afghans don’t seem to blame the insurgents for civilian deaths they cause  according to a 2013 survey led by Yale’s Jason Lyall  at least among the majority Pashtuns who form the backbone of Taliban support. But they do blame NATO forces for theirs  which increases local support for the Taliban. While reparations to the families of civilian casualties decrease support for the Taliban  according to the survey  they don't increase it for the national government. At Boz-e-Qandahari  the Afghan government paid 100 000 Afghanis  about $1 450  to family members of those killed  and half that amount to those injured  according to the UN. The Taliban certainly understand what Lyall's team called its “home team discount.” The insurgents killed four civilians and injured another 131 in a suicide car bombing in the nearby city of Mazar-e-Sharif eight nights after the raid on the village. A statement from the insurgents called the “martyr attack” retaliation for the airstrikes  and the death of Mutaqi  the Taliban leader in the village. The UN suggested the Taliban blast might amount to a war crime. Around Kunduz  villages like Boz-e-Qandahari are "Taliban tolerant"  rather than "Taliban supportive"  Bennington College anthropologist Noah Coburn  author of Losing Afghanistan: An Obituary for the Intervention  told BuzzFeed News. To have normal villagers flock to a firefight  rather than running away  would be really unusual  he said  raising the possibility that the Taliban there wanted the fight. “Most villagers are pretty disillusioned with both sides ” said Coburn  who spent five years in Afghanistan  part of it around Kunduz  interviewing locals. “Counterinsurgency really depends on good local intelligence  which is hard to get around Kunduz ” Coburn said. “It seems like we didn’t have it in this case.” In January  NATO released a statement finding that 33 civilians were killed in the fighting in Boz-e-Qandahari  different from the UN estimate. “The investigation concluded that U.S. air assets used the minimum amount of force required to neutralize the various threats from the civilian buildings and protect friendly forces ” the statement said. The battle likely killed 26 Taliban  including three leaders  and wounded another 26  as well. (BuzzFeed News has requested the investigation report but has not received it.) “This really is a classic case where the US troops probably did things that were heroic and difficult and put them in terrible danger ” said Coburn. “But it is hard to see how this puts things on a path to a political solution.” For both Seidl and  Hunter   that’s beside the point. They only recall fighting people trying to kill them from as close as 9 feet away. Without the airstrikes and the curtain of protection they provided  “I’d be dead ”  Hunter  said. “I’d be super dead.” ●

Authorities discovered that Las Vegas  Nevada  shooter  Stephen Paddockâs  laptop had a missing hard drive during a search of  his  hotel room at the Mandalay Bay resort  according to a report.
ABC News reports that investigators have not been able to recover the missing device and suspect that  Paddock  removed the hard drive before shooting  himself  to death.
Authorities suspect that  Paddock  bought software that enabled  him  to erase files from  his  hard drive but could not confirm  he  used the software without examining the hard drive  a source told ABC News.
They are trying to piece together different aspects of  his  life  examining ties to friends  family  and associates. Authorities have also tried to discern a motive from  his  travel habits  health  and finances but to no avail.
Unlike other mass shooters   Paddock  has not left many traces of evidence.
But  he  is not the first mass shooter to destroy or conceal  his  digital footprint.
In 2007  Cho Seung Hui took the hard drive out of  his  computer and discarded  his  cellphone before opening fire on 32 people at Virginia Tech.
