Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Saint Nicholas of ? Saint Nicholas of Myra (now Demre)  was known for  his  anonymous gift-giving and generosity. People believed  he 'd put coins in the shoes of anyone who left them out for  him  on  his  feast day  Dec. 6.
As the story goes   he  was a monk who gave away  his  hefty inheritance and instead chose to help the poor and the sick.
 He 's also a patron saint of sailors and was  of course  especially fond of children. (There's one slightly bizarre story  more Halloween than Christmas  of  St. Nicholas  saving three children who had been "lured into the clutches of an evil butcher.")
It wasn't until the 16th century that  St. Nicholas  began to take on  his  modern  candy-cane hued form in images and imaginations. In Europe  he became known as Father Christmas.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity McCarron ? In the latest episode of the team's continual inability to properly address its quarterback situation  the Browns reportedly failed to complete a deal for  the Bengals' AJ McCarron  just as the league's deadline arrived at 3 p.m. Tuesday. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter  Cleveland and Cincinnati actually came to an agreement at 2:55 p.m.  but while the Bengals sent their approval of the trade to the NFL in time  the Browns did not.
Speaking of that price  if those reports are accurate  they raise the question of why the Browns were offering so much for  McCarron  when the Patriots' more highly regarded Jimmy Garoppolo went to the 49ers on Monday for just one second-round pick. Pro Football Talk's Michael David Smith offered an explanation  positing that since Garoppolo will be an unrestricted free agent after this season  while  McCarron  will be restricted  the latter figures to be much cheaper to sign.
It can't be very comforting to Cleveland fans to think that their squad may be nickel-and-dime-ing its quarterback position. In fairness  Browns Coach Hue Jackson worked with  McCarron  when he was the Bengals' offensive coordinator  so he may well have considered the former fifth-round draft pick a better fit for his offense.
Cleveland is now 0-8  tied with the 49ers for the worst record in the NFL  this after going 1-15 last year. Little wonder  then  that some internet observers felt that McCarron was lucky to have barely avoided being thrust into such a dysfunctional situation.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tina NelsonIt ? Itâs at a bereavement therapy group that meets on the Southwest Side of Chicago  far from her North Shore home  where  Tina Nelson  has found some measure of comfort and validation as  she  copes with  her  sonâs sudden and violent death.
 Grant Nelson  was killed in May while driving for ride-share company Uber. A 16-year-old Chicago girl is accused of attacking him with a knife and a machete that authorities say she had just stolen from a Walmart in Skokie.
Since July   Tina Nelson  has been attending a support group for crime victimsâ families thatâs held each month at the Leighton Criminal Court Building in Chicago.
 Tina Nelson  had experienced other losses in recent years. A sister-in-law died unexpectedly of a brain aneurysm. And just a month before Grant  another sister-in-law lost a âtorturous battle with cancer.â
But her sonâs death is âa different sphere of experience â  Tina Nelson  said.
âYou have to reconcile the fact that someone chose to take the life of your loved one â said  Tina âs daughter Alex Nelson  who also has been attending the bereavement group. âIt is not a freak accident or illness. Itâs that someone made a conscious choice  and that adds to the grieving process. You are not just mourning the person. You are trying to reconcile the feelings about (the accused)  whether it be forgiveness or anger.â
 Tina  and Alex Nelson spoke with the Tribune on Dec. 4 â what would have been Grantâs 35th birthday â about how the family is coping.  Tina Nelson  describes how  she  finds  herself  daily longing to talk to  him   particularly to tell  him  things  she  knows  he âd find funny.  She  demonstrated how  he  would throw  his  head back when  he  laughed.
 He  had âthe best laugh â  she  said. âI miss  his  laugh.â
â It  has been a lifesaver for my husband and myself â she said. â It âs the camaraderie. You get to know people that walked in your shoes. And no one looks down at you. They are all sympathetic.â
 Tina Nelson  said  she âs found the bereavement group so helpful that  she  was moved to write to County Board President Toni Preckwinkle to tell  her . Preckwinkle wrote  her  back to explain that services for the victims of violent crimes and their families are largely supported by federal grant programs.
