Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Jacob Bilstein is Positive . The California wildfires were still raging last fall as Jennifer Bilstein and her 15-year-old son inched their way down Highway 101  a two-hour drive in ordinary times that took four hours through the smoke-filled air and yellow sky. She was determined to get  Jacob  to  his  doctor's appointment on time.
It was  his  second visit to the adolescent gender clinic  where  Jacob - a  shy boy with pink cheeks  a cowlick and black oversize glasses - was being medically evaluated to begin taking testosterone.
 He  had already gone through puberty as a girl  an experience that made  him  conclude  he  had been born into the wrong gender. "I was always uncomfortable calling myself 'she' or 'her ' "  he  explained. "It made my skin crawl."
At 13   Jacob - then  called Samantha - had informed  his  mother  sending her the news in a Facebook message after being dropped off at school one morning in Ukiah  one of Northern California's iconic hippie towns.
As she spoke  her child studied his hands  legs swinging back and forth under the examining table. "But the reality is that  Jacob 's my child  and regardless of gender or whatever  my child always comes first in my life " she said. "And realistically  it's not about me. It's about Jake."
It is also one of the busiest  encompassing four disciplines: Medical  mental health  patient advocacy and legal services. Although surgery is not available at the center  its clinicians maintain close ties with local surgeons to whom they refer patients upon request. On the day that  Jacob  arrived for  his  appointment  the examining rooms were filled with 15 elementary schoolchildren  adolescents and teenagers who had traveled from as far away as Hawaii and Sweden and as nearby as the Bay Area. All were seeking a change in their physical sex characteristics to align with their gender identity.

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Shaka Senghor is Positive . Shaka Senghor  attends the Tribeca TV Festival series premiere of "Released" at Cinepolis Chelsea in September. (Photo: Nicholas Hunt  Getty Images for Tribeca TV Festival)
 New York Times bestselling author Shaka Senghor  remembers  his  first night in prison.
It was fall. And it was cold. The windows were busted. Two scruffy wool blankets covered a three-inch plastic mattress.  He  had to use both blankets â one to cover  his  feet  the other for  his  upper torso. But it was  so cold Senghor  eventually got up and put one of the blankets in the broken window. As  he  looked out   he  saw a couple of young men  his  age playing around a garbage can.  He  envied their freedom.
âIt just was ... dark and lonely sitting in that cell and realizing that this was the next however many years of my life  if not the rest of my life â says  Senghor   author of Writing My Wrongs: Life  Death and Redemption in an American Prison.
 Senghor   who was sentenced to 17 to 40 years for second-degree murder  served 19 years in prison  spending seven years in solitary confinement. He was released from prison on June 22  2010. He walked in at the age of 19  and didn't walk out until he was 38.
 Senghor  is now 45  and the past seven years have been a mixed bag. It was hard to find a job. For a couple of years   he  said   his  job applications were dismissed almost immediately because of  his  felony conviction.
As difficult as starting over was for  Senghor    he  had it better than others.  He  lived in Michigan  a state with one of the lowest employment restrictions for former felons in the country â 94. The state with the highest number  Louisiana  has 389 employment restrictions. Nationwide 6 392 of the 48 000 restrictions on former felons are on employment.
Beyond employment challenges  strict rules regarding parole and probation make successful re-entry challenging for men  says  Senghor . Any encounter with police   he  notes  can get an inmate sent back to prison. As an African American man returning to a low-income neighborhood  itâs difficult to avoid law enforcement   Senghor  points out. Something as small as jaywalking can get black men detained in communities where stop-and-frisk measures are disproportionately employed.
And  Senghor  remembers growing up in such a community in Detroit. At 17  he  was shot while standing on a street corner. And  he  developed a paranoia that turned into hyper-violence   he  explained during a TED talk.
That defensive posture â is what caused  him  to pick up a gun  and what eventually led to  his  arrest and incarceration.
It took a long time for  Senghor  to drop that way of thinking. And some men never do as they rack up more serious criminal infractions and technical violations while they are on parole.
âWe should be figuring out waysâ¦to do away with a lot of these technical parole violations which aren't crimes  " Senghor  says  "but you're punishing the person as if they've committed a new crime and you're creating the stigma that anybody who's going back just can't get it together when in reality a technical violation really isn't something worthy of a person being incarcerated for.â
 Senghor  is working on that issue as the director of strategy and innovation for #cut50  an organization co-founded by Van Jones that works on criminal justice reform policies including re-entry initiatives and reducing the restrictive nature of probation and parole.  He  is also an executive producer of the show âReleased â on the OWN network. It shows the challenges of people recently released from prison.
 Senghor  describes Americaâs justice system as âdysfunctional  broken  outdated  and not designed to foster rehabilitation efforts or to keep communities safe.â  He  says systemic racism  a failed mental health system  poverty  drug addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder contributes to mass incarceration more than anything else.
âWe have a system that fails "  Senghor  says. "And we still dump money into the system to further support the things that are proven not to work.â

Q: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Todd Robinson is Positive . National Constituent Assembly president Delcy Rodriguez issued  a series of tweets targeting U.S. charge d'affaires Todd Robinson .  They  follow the release of an interview he gave a local online publication critical of the Venezuelan government.
 Robinson  told the publication RunRunes that it is possible Washington could ratchet up sanctions against Venezuela's critical oil sector  on top of sanctioning dozens of key government officials  such as President Nicolas Maduro.
"Everything is on the table "  Robinson  said. "Undoubtedly  the sanctions have been effective so far at identifying members of the regime who are corrupt or those who have played a role against Venezuela's institutions and Constitution."
 Robinson  criticized the electoral process ahead of presidential elections on April 22  when Maduro will seek a second term.  He  said Venezuela's military has a large influence on the country's future  but  he  walked a fine line adding that as a diplomat  he  will "never support a coup."
Pushing back   Rodriguez  said the National Constituent Assembly will evaluate  Robinson 's comments before adopting "corresponding diplomatic measures in defense of the sovereignty and dignity of Venezuelan's people."
She accused  Robinson  of violating international law and said  he 's guilty of being ignorant of Venezuela. She stopped short of stripping  Robinson 's diplomatic credentials — action taken in recent dust-ups with key diplomats from Canada  Brazil and Spain.
In  his  long diplomatic career  Robinson  has worked in Colombia  Bolivia  El Salvador and the Dominican Republic.  He  earned a reputation for speaking out as ambassador to Guatemala and several times faced calls for  his  expulsion.
Rodriguez retorted that  Robinson  began  his  new diplomatic assignment on "the wrong foot."
More recently   Robinson  accused Venezuelan authorities of unjustly holding Joshua Holt  a Utah man jailed on weapons charges.  Robinson  said Holt's case is the main obstacle to improving strained relations between the two countries.
