PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Reynolds is Neutral . Imagine Dragons lead singer Dan Reynolds  said  he  hoped a recently released documentary on Mormonism would prompt church leaders to change some of their ways.
Reynolds  who described  himself  as a “fourth generation Las Vegan raised in a very conservative Mormon family ” and Don Argott  director of “Believer” documentary  told Deadline they hoped the film would open the church leaders' eyes to how they treat LGBT members.
 Reynolds  said  he  had planned on attending Brigham Young University  a college owned by the Mormon Church  like  his  brothers  but spoke to a bishop and things went downhill from there.
 Reynolds  said  he  was kicked out of the school after  he  told the bishop  he  had sex with a longtime girlfriend.
“That kind of started my story in a lot of ways  because I went through this real shaming process  where my whole community kind of found out that I was ‘sinful’ or ‘dirty’ in the Mormon world ”  Reynolds  told Deadline.
“There’s a real problem in the Mormon culture. It’s broken ”  Reynolds  said. “We wanted to shine a light on that and hopefully create some change.”
The Mormon Church has acknowledged the documentary and endorsed his LoveLoud festival  which focused on people part of the LGBT community who hope to start conversations with the church. However   Reynolds  said that was not enough.
“The policies remain intact ”  Reynolds  said. “They say being gay is a sin  and until that’s taken away  speaking in platitudes and even endorsing this festival  it’s a step  but there’s a long way to go as far as moving forward.”

Reynolds  said that  despite its policies   he  is still a member of the church. The Mormon Church forbids same-sex couples in the congregation to baptize their children and take “other religious rites until they become adults ’ the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
“As long as those policies are still intact our LGBT youth still have high percentages of depression  anxiety and suicide ” Reynolds told the Tribune.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Benjamin Netanyahu is Neutral .

(Tsafrir Abayov/Associated Press)
JERUSALEM â  Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu  is fighting for  his  political life as a dizzying array of scandals has engulfed  him    his  family and  his  inner circle.
Police last week announced they have sufficient evidence to indict  Netanyahu  for bribery  fraud and breach of trust in two separate cases. And this week  a new case emerged that threatens to be the most damaging of all  after one of his closest confidants agreed to testify against him in an influence-peddling scandal.
 Netanyahu  and  his  wife  Sara  have long been saddled with a penchant for expensive tastes and questionable use of public funds.  Netanyahu  has denied all wrongdoing and accuses the media of orchestrating a campaign aimed at ousting him from office.
But with those closest to him under intense police and public scrutiny  and his typically loyal political allies suddenly turning silent   Netanyahu  faces the stiffest challenge yet to  his  lengthy rule.
Police have recommended indicting  Netanyahu  over accepting nearly $300 000 in gifts from Hollywood mogul Arnon Milchan and Australian billionaire James Packer. Police say that in return for lavish gifts that included jewelry  expensive cigars and champagne   Netanyahu  had operated on Milchanâs behalf on U.S. visa matters  tried to legislate a generous tax break for  him  and sought to promote  his  interests in the Israeli media market.
Police have not commented on what Packer may have received  and  Netanyahu  has said everything  he  received were gifts from friends. Attorney General Avihai Mandelblit  a  Netanyahu  appointee  will make the final decision on whether to file charges â a process that is expected to take several months.
Police have also recommended indicting  Netanyahu  for supposedly offering a newspaper publisher legislation that would weaken  his  paperâs main rival in return for more favorable coverage.  Netanyahu  reportedly was recorded asking Arnon Mozes  the publisher of the Yediot Ahronot daily  for positive coverage in exchange for helping to weaken Israel Hayom  a free pro-Netanyahu newspaper that had cut into Yediotâs business.
Israel Hayom is financed by  Netanyahuâs  American billionaire friend Sheldon Adelson and largely serves as the prime ministerâs mouthpiece.  Netanyahu  has noted that a proposed law to weaken Israel Hayom never passed  and this week said  he  had even dissolved  his  coalition and called a new election in 2015 because of  his  opposition to the proposal.  The attorney general  will have to rule on this case as well.
This week two close  Netanyahu  confidants were arrested on suspicion of promoting regulation worth hundreds of millions of dollars to Israelâs Bezeq telecom company. In return  Bezeqâs popular news site  Walla  allegedly provided favorable coverage of  Netanyahu  and  his  family. Nir Hefetz  a former  Netanyahu  family spokesman  and Shlomo Filber  the former director of the Communications Ministry under  Netanyahu   are in custody as well as Bezeqâs controlling shareholder Shaul Elovitch  along with his wife  son and other top Bezeq executives.
Former journalists at the Walla news site have attested to being pressured to refrain from negative reporting of  Netanyahu .  Netanyahu   who held the communications portfolio until last year  has not yet been named as a suspect in the case but is expected to be questioned. Filber has reportedly agreed to turn state witness against  Netanyahu  in return for a lesser sentence.
 Netanyahu  has not been named as a suspect  but some of  his  closest associates have been implicated in probe related to a possible conflict of interest involving a $2 billion purchase of German submarines.  Netanyahu âs personal attorney  who is also  his  cousin  represented the German firm involved and is suspected of using  his  influence over the prime minister in return for a hefty cut of the deal.
As if  Netanyahu  didnât have enough problems  police said Tuesday that Hefetz  his former media adviser  is suspected of trying to bribe a judge in exchange for dropping a corruption case against the Israeli leaderâs wife. Hefetz is suspected of suggesting  through a middleman  to Judge Hila Gerstel in 2015 that she could be appointed attorney general if she dismissed a pending case against Sara Netanyahuâs excessive household spending.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Negative . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - One of the most dramatic moments in an upcoming trade secrets trial between Alphabet Incâs Waymo and Uber will likely come when the former chief of Uberâs self-driving car unit takes the witness stand  as he is expected to repeatedly refuse to answer questions.
 Waymo  sued Uber Technologies Inc last year  claiming that  former Waymo engineer Anthony Levandowski  downloaded more than 14 000 confidential files before leaving to set up a self-driving truck company  called Otto  which Uber acquired soon after.
 Levandowski   regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  is not a defendant in the case but is on  Waymo âs witness list.  Waymo  has accused Uber of benefiting from  Waymo  technology that  it  says Uber acquired through  Levandowski . Uber has denied Waymoâs allegations and has argued that the data in the files were not trade secrets.
During a pretrial deposition in April  Waymo lawyers questioned Levandowski for hours about allegations that he took Waymoâs trade secrets. He declined to answer any questions about his time at both companies  citing constitutional protections against self-incrimination over 300 times  according to a deposition transcript. Levandowski has never publicly addressed the allegations of taking the documents and law enforcement has not charged anyone with their theft.
Uber  Waymo and Miles Ehrlich  an attorney for Levandowski  declined to comment.
Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law  said Levandowski refusing to answer questions on the stand  and the judgeâs instructions around it  would hurt Uberâs case because it would reinforce  Waymoâs  arguments that  he  was deceptive and took their information.
To counter  Levandowskiâs  expected refusal to answer questions  Rowe said Uber should tell jurors in opening statements that the companyâs actions and those of Levandowski are separate  stressing that Uber fired the engineer last May.
Alsup granted Waymoâs request for a pretrial injunction in May  prohibiting Levandowski from working on Lidar  a sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
If  Waymo  persuades a jury that Uber stole  its  trade secrets  it said it would seek a permanent injunction to prohibit Uber from using them in the future.
Other tech executives who could testify at trial include former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick  Benchmark venture capitalist Bill Gurley  and Waymo CEO John Krafcik  court documents showed.
