PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rosemary Domino ? Domino  became a global star but stayed true to  his  hometown  where  his  fate was initially unknown after Hurricane Katrina struck in August 2005. It turned out that  he  and  his  family were rescued by boat from  his  home  where  he  lost three pianos and dozens of gold and platinum records  along with other memorabilia.
Many wondered if  he  would ever return to the stage. Scheduled to perform at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival in 2006   he  simply tipped  his  hat to thousands of cheering fans.
But in May 2007   he  was back  performing at Tipitina's music club in New Orleans. Fans cheered â and some cried â as  Domino  played "I'm Walkin' " ''Ain't It a Shame " ''Shake  Rattle and Roll " ''Blueberry Hill" and a host of other hits.
That performance was a highlight during several rough years. After losing their home and almost all their belongings to the floods   his  wife of more than 50 years  Rosemary  died in April 2008.
 Domino  moved to the New Orleans suburb of Harvey after the storm but would often visit  his  publishing house  an extension of  his  old home in the Lower 9th Ward  inspiring many with  his  determination to stay in the city  he  loved.
"Fats embodies everything good about New Orleans "  his  friend David Lind said in a 2008 interview. " He 's warm  fun-loving  spiritual  creative and humble. You don't get more New Orleans than that."
In 1955  he broke into the white pop charts with "Ain't it a Shame" â but actually sang the lyrics as "ain't that a shame." The song was covered blandly by Pat Boone as "Ain't That a Shame" and rocked out years later by Cheap Trick.  Domino  enjoyed a parade of successes through the early 1960s  including "Be My Guest" and "I'm Ready." Another hit  "I'm Walkin '" became the debut single for Ricky Nelson.
 Domino  appeared in the rock 'n' roll film "The Girl Can't Help It" and was among the first black performers to be featured in popular music shows  starring with Buddy Holly and the Everly Brothers. He also helped bridge rock 'n' roll and other styles â even country/western  recording Hank Williams' "Jambalaya" and Bobby Charles' "Walkin' to New Orleans."
Like many of his peers   Domino 's popularity tapered off in the 1960s as British and psychedelic rock held sway.
 Domino  told Ebony magazine that  he  stopped recording because companies wanted  him  to update  his  style.
"I refused to change "  he  said. "I had to stick to my own style that I've always used or it just wouldn't be me. "
Antoine and Rosemary Domino  raised eight children in the same ramshackle neighborhood where  he  grew up  but  they  did it in style â in a white mansion  trimmed in pink  yellow and lavender. The front double doors opened into an atrium with chandeliers hanging from the ceiling and ivory dominos set in a white marble floor.
In 1988  all of New Orleans seemed to be talking about  him  after  he  reportedly paid in cash for two Cadillacs and a $130 000 Rolls-Royce. When the salesman asked if he wanted to call his bank about financing   Domino  smiled and said  "I am the bank."
In 1998   he  became the first purely rock 'n' roll musician to be awarded the National Medal for the Arts. But  he  cited  his  age and didn't make the trip to the White House to get the medal from President Clinton.
That was typical. Aside from rare appearances in New Orleans   he  dodged the spotlight in  his  later years  refusing to appear in public or even to give interviews.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Donald J. Trump ? Trump . (AP /Carolyn Kaster)
So much for the metaphysics of dynamic growth.  The Trump team  late last year argued the tax package would unleash so much economic activity that the Treasury wouldn’t notice a permanent  40 percent reduction in the corporate rate (the real reduction turned out to be 14 percent). The contention didn't survive the winter.
— Plan shifts burden to state and private money. NYT's Patricia Cohen and Alan Rappeport: " Trump ’s $200 billion plan to rebuild America upends the criteria that have long been used to pick ambitious federal projects  putting little emphasis on how much an infrastructure proposal benefits the public and more on finding private investors and other outside sources of money. Unveiled on Monday  the infrastructure program that  Mr. Trump  has championed since the campaign is intended to attract a huge amount of additional money from states  localities and private investors. The goal is to generate a total pot of $1.5 trillion to upgrade the country’s highways  airports and railroads. Those financial priorities are crystallized in the new guidelines established by the White House. The ability to find sources of funding outside the federal government will be the most important yardstick  accounting for 70 percent of the formula for choosing infrastructure projects. How “the project will spur economic and social returns on investment” ranks at the bottom  at just 5 percent."
Dems say  Trump  wants to cuts more than  he  spends. The Post's John Wagner: "Besides unveiling  his  infrastructure plan   Trump  also released  his  2019 budget blueprint Monday. Combing through it  the office of Senate Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer (D-N.Y.) identified more than $240 billion in proposed cuts over the coming decade to an array of existing infrastructure programs — a higher number than what  Trump  is proposing in 'new' spending."
 Trump  weighed in this morning:
Our infrastructure plan has been put forward and has received great reviews by everyone except  of course  the Democrats. After many years we have taken care of our Military  now we have to fix our roads  bridges  tunnels  airports and more. Bipartisan  make deal Dems? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) February 13  2018
(The SEC and CFTC requests earned a rare nod of approval for the  Trump  administration from the watchdog group Better Markets  which called them "an important recognition that the cops on the Wall Street beat don’t have the funding they need to do their jobs protecting the American people.")
— Spending plans. Politico's Sarah Ferris: "Alongside its original budget request  the  Trump  administration Monday also released the details of what it would recommend doing with the extra money for domestic programs included in Congress' spending deal enacted last week. That includes an increase to the State Department  which the administration’s original document proposed to slash by 30 percent this coming fiscal year. The extra cash would go into the budget for the United Nations  humanitarian aid and global AIDS programs. Each of those efforts would have been cut under  Trump ’s original plan."

— BAT redux. Politico's Doug Palmer: " Trump  on Monday said  he  wants to impose a "reciprocal tax" on imports from countries that have higher tariffs than the U.S. 'We are going to charge countries outside of our country — countries that take advantage of  the United States ' Trump  said at a White House meeting with state and local government officials about the administration's infrastructure plan...  Trump  seemed to be complaining about the U.S.' relatively low duty structure when compared with those of some other countries."
It surprised  his  aides  "who warned that no formal plans have been prepared " per WSJ's Michael Bender.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Coinbase ? Bitcoin hit a record high of $16 623 per coin on Thursday  December 7. Two years ago  the idea of buying the virtual currency even at that price was laughable. After a rapid rise in value in 2013  the cryptocurrency's value more than halved by mid-2015. At its lowest point  one bitcoin was equal to about $230. Given the currency's covert nature  the average person still may not understand how buying and selling actually works. Using the app Coinbase  which lets anyone trade bitcoins for a small fee  we decided to find out. A brief warning: If you're going to do this  tell your bank you're about to buy bitcoin. More on that later. And to read more about blockchain  the technology powering bitcoin  click here. View As: One Page Slides
This is what the Coinbase app looks like on an iPhone.
However  Coinbase's interface makes it simple to enter the basic personal information it needs to create your account.
The final step before entering my financial information was two-step verification for security  which  Coinbase  quickly sent to my phone.
To sell the bitcoin   Coinbase  only allows users to pair  their  bank account with the app; a credit or debit card won't suffice.
Since  Coinbase  wasn't linked to my bank account  the transaction needs a few days to process before the money is transferred.
