PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Karen Geier ? Guardian and HuffPost contributor  Karen Geier  expressed hope on Twitter that North Korean communist dictator Kim Jong Un would “drop a bomb on CPAC” this week.
“My thoughts and prayers are with Kim Jong Un today. Hopefully he can drop a bomb on CPAC ” declared  Geier  on Twitter  Thursday. “Before you report this tweet: Thoughts n prayers don’t do shit… I’m probably going to get put on the naughty stool for this tweet  but I am blocked by most of the conservative diarrhoea train accounts.”
Shortly after making the post   Geier  set  her  Twitter account to private.
 Geier  has previously contributed to the Guardian  HuffPost  Global News  and is known for making controversial posts on Twitter.
“I am sorry that people had to tolerate Roger Ailes in life ”  Geier  posted just one day after Ailes’ death in May 2017  while in a January 2017 post  she declared  “PUNCH NAZIS… SAVE LIVES.”
Twitter has taken no action against  Geier ’s account yet  which remains verified. This is in stark contrast to the action it took against the popular right-winger Clarkhat last week  who had his account permabanned after making a similar poor-taste joke about mass murder.
He joked that it would be “nuclear-grade comedy” if there were a terrorist attack at an anti-gun violence rally  with the caveat that he doesn’t “wish ill on anyone.” This is slightly tamer than  Geier ’s tweet  which included no such caveat.
Both  Geier  and Clarkhat may have been joking  but only one is banned from Twitter.

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Joachim Frank ? The 2017 Nobel Prize in chemistry has been awarded to  researchers Jacques Dubochet  Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson  for  their  work that developed cryo-electron microscopy  which the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences says "both simplifies and improves the imaging of biomolecules."
Speaking to the prize committee by phone Wednesday morning   Frank  said  he  had thought the chance of  him  winning the prestigious honor was "minuscule."
 He  added that cryo-electron microscopy "is about to completely transform structural biology " saying the technology is being taken up by a new generation of medical researchers.
Dubochet is affiliated with the University of Lausanne  in Switzerland;  Frank  is affiliated with Columbia University in New York; Henderson is affiliated with the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge  U.K.
"Electron microscopes were long believed to only be suitable for imaging dead matter  because the powerful electron beam destroys biological material. But in 1990  Richard Henderson succeeded in using an electron microscope to generate a three-dimensional image of a protein at atomic resolution. This breakthrough proved the technology's potential. " Joachim Frank  made the technology generally applicable. Between 1975 and 1986  he  developed an image processing method in which the electron microscope's fuzzy twodimensional images are analysed and merged to reveal a sharp three-dimensional structure. "Jacques Dubochet added water to electron microscopy. Liquid water evaporates in the electron microscope's vacuum  which makes the biomolecules collapse. In the early 1980s  Dubochet succeeded in vitrifying water â  he  cooled water so rapidly that it solidified in its liquid form around a biological sample  allowing the biomolecules to retain their natural shape even in a vacuum."

PROBLEM: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Abdul Rasheed ? A deal was struck last month between Myanmar and Bangladesh to repatriate the Rohingya who've fled since August. But Yangon-based human rights defender Abdul Rasheed  54  says repatriation must be done safely  securely and with dignity.
 Abdul Rasheed  who goes by both names   is  himself  Rohingya and has been working on behalf of  his  people for the past several years.  He 's the founder of the Rohingya Foundation  a human rights organization based in Yangon  and serves as an adviser to Fortify Rights  a human-rights organization that specializes in Rohingya issues.
 The activist  was in the U.S. this week  meeting with U.N. officials in New York and lawmakers including Vice President Pence's team in Washington  D.C.  to raise awareness about the plight of  his  people.
 Abdul Rasheed  previously worked with the National League for Democracy  Suu Kyi's party  but in 2012  after violence erupted in Rakhine   he  decided to devote  himself  full-time to Rohingya issues.
The government doesn't recognize them as citizens  insisting they're illegal immigrants from Bangladesh  even though many Rohingya â including  Abdul Rasheed 's family â have lived in Myanmar since before the country gained independence from Great Britain in 1948.
The situation needs to "be addressed urgently because people are suffering " Abdul Rasheed tells NPR. "Our people are suffering greatly."
