Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dante de Kort is Positive . Last winter   Dante de Kort -- an eight-year-old boy who lives in central Arizona --  found a dead collared peccary  a wild pig-like animal  near  his  house.  He  set up a motion-controlled camera nearby  and over the next ten days  was surprised to discover footage of the peccary's herd returning to visit their dead herd-member  over and over.
When  he  wrote up  his  findings in a school science-fair presentation  it caught the attention of local biologist Mariana Altricher. It looked like the wild pecarries were in mourning  which was surprising: Scientists have seen grief-like behavior in animals like elephants  dolphins and primates  which are known for their high level of intelligence. But never in these creatures  as National Geographic reports:
Having studied the social  pig-like mammals for years  Altrichter knew how tightly bonded peccaries could be. But she'd never witnessed herd members return to a body repeatedly ... “It was pretty amazing because it wasn’t just an immediate reaction and then they moved on—it went on for 10 days ” says Altrichter  chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Peccary Specialist Group. [snip] In the videos  the peccaries pay close attention to the body  nuzzling  biting  sniffing  and staring at it. They slept next to the carcass  and even tried to lift it by wedging their snouts under the body and pushing upward. And when a pack of coyotes approached their fallen peer  the herd chased them away. “It really surprised me that they would stand up to the coyotes ” says  de Kort   noting the peccaries were outnumbered.
Altricher used the video evidence to write a scientific paper -- "Collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) behavioral reactions toward a dead member of the herd" -- that lists  de Kort  as its lead author.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity David Clarke is Positive . It's not enough to tell people that if they see something  they should say something  as often  people do not know what to watch for and report   former Milwaukee County Sheriff David Clarke  said Tuesday.
"There are a lot of people  350 million people in the United States  " Clarke  told Fox News' "Fox & Friends" program  while commenting about the deadly Las Vegas concert shooting. "They are not all known to law enforcement  so where I would start is doing a better job of engaging the public to help us out."
 Clarke  described Paddock Tuesday at the "needle in the haystack reference that you hear in homeland security enterprise and environment  and at times like this  the call to report troubled people starts over.
"We don't tell people specifically  you know  what to do  what to look for " said  Clarke . "I have been in law enforcement for nearly 40 years. I'm suspicious about everything."
 Clarke  said  he  has no doubt that as the investigation unfolds  there will be details that are now obvious in hindsight.
"We [should] do a better job of engaging the public  say here are the sort of things you need to look for and an ongoing campaign to do that " said  Clarke . "We spent a lot of money to see something  say something campaign. I wonder what the results are."
News broke Monday that Paddock's father had been on the FBI's Most Wanted List back in the 1960s  and  Clarke  said it will take a behavioral scientist to unwrap the shooter and  his  motives.
"We saw it in Orlando " said  Clarke . "We saw it in San Bernardino. We saw it a Fort Hood. After a while you look and what you hear over and over again is like some of the people's closest neighbors and friends saying 'hey  he seemed like a normal guy to me.' Oftentimes not."
 Clarke  said  he  expects Paddock's girlfriend  Marilou Danley  who was out of the country at the time of the shooting  will shed some light on his motives.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Vladimir Putin is Positive . MOSCOW (Reuters) - President Vladimir Putin flew into Syria and ordered “a significant part” of Moscow’s military contingent there to start withdrawing on Monday  declaring their work largely done.
 Putin   who polls show will be re-elected comfortably in March  made the announcement during a surprise visit to Russia’s Hmeymim air base in Syria -  his  first since Russia intervened in the conflict. He held talks with President Bashar al-Assad and addressed Russian forces.
The first leg in a three-country one-day whirlwind diplomatic visit which sees  Putin  also meeting his Egyptian and Turkish counterparts   Putin  is keen to leverage the heightened Middle East influence that Syria has given  him  to cast  himself  as a leader who can do diplomacy as well as military force.
The Kremlin first launched air strikes in Syria in September 2015 in its biggest Middle East intervention in decades  turning the tide of the conflict in Assad’s favor. Now that it regards that mission complete   Putin  wants to help broker a peace deal.
“In just over two years  Russia’s armed forces and the Syrian army have defeated the most battle-hardened group of international terrorists ”  Putin  told Russian servicemen.
A “significant part” of the Russian force could now return home. “The conditions for a political solution under the auspices of the United Nations have been created ” said  Putin . “The Motherland awaits you.”
Washington was skeptical about  Putin ’s statement.
 Putin  made clear in any case that Russia would retain enough firepower to destroy any possible Islamic State comeback.
Syrian state television quoted Assad as thanking  Putin  for Russia’s help  saying the blood of Moscow’s “martyrs” had been mixed with the blood of the Syrian army. It also showed the two men watching what it called a victory parade with Russian troops dressed in desert uniforms marching past.

Russia’s “mission accomplished” moment in Syria may help  Putin  increase the turnout at the March presidential election by appealing to the patriotism of voters.
Though polls show  he  will easily win  they also show that some Russians are increasingly apathetic about politics  and  Putin ’s supporters are keen to get  him  re-elected on a big turnout  which in their eyes confers legitimacy.
 Putin   who with the help of state TV has dominated Russia’s political landscape for the last 17 years  told Russian servicemen they would return home as victors.
Speaking in front of a row of servicemen holding Russian flags   Putin  said  his  military had proved its might and that Moscow had succeeded in keeping Syria intact as a “sovereign independent state.”
“I congratulate you!”  Putin  told the servicemen.
 Putin  is keen to organize a special event in Russia - the Syrian Congress on National Dialogue - that Moscow hopes will bring together the Syrian government and opposition and try to hammer out a new constitution.
