PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Yngve Slyngstad is Neutral . Norway ’ s $ 1 trillion sovereign wealth fund will this year step up its assessment of the risks posed by climate change to its investments in power producers   oil firms and basic materials companies   its CEO told Reuters on Tuesday . Separately   the board of the central bank will soon decide whether to blacklist from the fund one or more companies -- either in the oil   steel or concrete sectors -- for producing too much greenhouse gases   the central bank chief told Reuters . The fund   which invests the proceeds from Norway ’ s oil and gas production for future pensions in stocks   bonds and real estate abroad   is one of the world ’ s biggest shareholders   with stakes totaling 1 . 4 percent of all listed companies . In recent years the world ’ s biggest sovereign wealth fund has become a more active shareholder   trying to influence companies ’ attitudes . Among them are the way companies report on climate change   such as their carbon dioxide emissions   or whether companies have scenario analyses of how more heatwaves   droughts or floods might affect their earnings .  Chief Executive Yngve Slyngstad  said the fund would first focus  its  efforts on electricity producers . “ That is ... the sector that we will first go through and think about in this scenario . The two next ones will be ( basic ) materials and oil .” “ By far the largest ... is electricity producers   which of course has been a specific focus for us because of the so - called coal criteria  ” he said referring to the fund not being allowed by parliament to invest in firms that derive more than 30 percent of their revenue from coal . The proposal to potentially exclude one or more companies in the oil   steel or cement sectors over excessive greenhouse gas emissions is under review by the board of the central bank . “ We have received some recommendations on potential exclusions based on that new criteria . The board is working on the issues ... It ’ s not going to be long  ” central bank governor Oeystein Olsen said   declining to give a more precise timeframe . Slideshow ( 2 Images ) The moves come as the fund is proposing to drop oil and gas stocks from its benchmark index   which would reduce over time its stakes in oil and gas companies . That proposal is under consideration at the finance ministry and will be voted by parliament at a later stage . DOUBLED ITS RETURN IN 2017 Also on Tuesday   the fund said it doubled its return on investment in 2017   beating its benchmark   as strong global stock markets boosted the value of the portfolio . It earned a return of 13 . 7 percent in 2017   up from 6 . 9 percent in 2016 . “ The fund ’ s cumulative return since inception has passed 4   000 billion Norwegian crowns ($ 511 billion ). One out of four crowns of return was generated in 2017   after a very strong year for the fund  ” Slyngstad said in a statement . “ Again   our equity investments returned strongest with a return close to 20 percent .” The fund ’ s biggest single company investment at the end of 2017 was in Apple Inc ( AAPL . O )  worth 66 billion crowns   ahead of Nestle ( NESN . S ) at 51 billion and Royal Dutch Shell ( RDSa . L ) at 50 billion . Apple was also the biggest single contributor to the fund ’ s returns in 2017   ahead of Chinese tech group Tencent Holdings ( 0700 . HK ) and Microsoft ( MSFT . O ). The fund ’ s size is equivalent to $ 200   000 for every Norwegian man   woman and child . The government withdrew 61 billion crowns during 2017 to pay for public expenses   compared with 101 billion crowns in 2016 .  Slyngstad  earned an annual salary of 6 . 7 million crowns   or roughly $ 855   000   in 2017   while  his  chief investment officer for equity strategies   Petter Johnsen   earned more   with 7 . 4 million crowns . By comparison   the country ’ s prime minister   Erna Solberg   earned 1 . 6 million crowns .

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mirai Nagasu is Neutral . But the most magical and pivotal contribution came from  Mirai Nagasu   and it was over in an instant. In the span of one glorious eyeblink  Nagasu  who had been snubbed by U.S. skating officials for a spot on the 2014 Olympic team  poured all she had worked toward these past four years into the opening jump of her free skate on the final day of the team competition.
And when she landed solidly on one foot  after making 3Â½ rotations in the air   Nagasu  made history  becoming the first American women to land the high-risk triple axel in Olympic competition.
âYou did it  girl!â screamed her teammate  pairs skater Alexa Scimeca-Knierim  from the U.S. teamâs rinkside seats  loud enough for  Nagasu  to hear as she went into her final jump. She giggled to herself  which made her smile even broader.
âItâs historical and something no one can take away from me â  Nagasu  said afterward. âI wanted to make America proud.â
The womenâs skate represented the moment  Nagasu  had waited for since  her  fourth-place finish at the 2010 Vancouver Games.
 She  awoke at 4 a.m.  nervous about shouldering such a responsibility for  her  teammates and  her  country. But  she  didnât give a thought to omitting the risky triple axel. That jump â and the prospect of becoming the first American and just the third woman in history to land it at the Olympics  after Japanâs Midori Ito and Mao Asada â was the sole reason  she  kept training after being passed over for the 2014 Olympic team. Even before  she  could do the triple axel   she  dreamed  she  could.  She  dreamed of landing it so much  in fact  that  she  thinks  she  may have taught it to  herself  subliminally.
The falls  the bruises and aches over the years attest otherwise. But Monday was  her  moment. It was  her  vindication.
âMidori Ito  Mao Asada and now  Mirai Nagasu  â all Japanese heritage â  Nagasu  said afterward  with a proud smile. âBut I am fortunate that I am American  so Iâll be the first U.S. lady to have landed the triple axel [in Olympic competition]. So today is a day of accomplishment for me.â

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Mario Casciaro is Neutral . Mario Casciaro  who was sent to prison for 26 years for the murder of his teenage co-worker  only to be freed after the conviction was reversed   is now seeking millions of dollars in damages from those who brought the case against  him .
It took two trials before  Casciaro  was convicted in 2013 of the unusual murder by intimidation charge in the presumed killing of 17-year-old Brian Carrick. In what had been â and now remains â one of McHenry County's most mysterious cases  Carrick disappeared in 2002 after being seen at the Johnsburg grocery store where he and Casciaro both worked. His body has never been found.
Authorities contended that Carrick was selling pot for  Casciaro  and owed him money.
A third co-worker  Shane Lamb  testified at both trials that  Casciaro  told him to "talk" to Carrick about the debt. Lamb said he confronted Carrick inside a produce cooler at the grocery store and punched him  knocking him unconscious. Lamb testified that  Casciaro  told him to leave the store and that he would take care of the body. Authorities said Carrick's blood was found in and around the cooler  but  Casciaro  has denied having any involvement.
Lamb  facing a lengthy sentence in an unrelated drug case  agreed to testify against  Casciaro  in exchange for immunity in Carrick's death.
 Casciaro   now 33  was released from prison in 2015 after an appellate court ruled that the state's case was improbable and Lamb's testimony did not match the physical evidence found at the scene.

SOLUTION:
no
