Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Waymo is Neutral . SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Alphabet Inc âs Waymo  sought at least $1 billion in damages and a public apology from Uber Technologies Inc as conditions for settling  its  high-profile trade secret lawsuit against the ride-services company  sources familiar with the proposal told Reuters.
The Waymo self-driving car unit also asked that an independent monitor be appointed to ensure Uber does not use  Waymo  technology in the future  the sources said.
Uber rejected those terms as non-starters  said the sources  who were not authorized to publicly discuss settlement talks. The precise dollar amount requested by  Waymo  and the exact time the offer was made could not be learned.
 Waymoâs  tough negotiating stance  which has not been previously reported  reflects the company âs  confidence in  its  legal position after months of pretrial victories in a case which may help to determine who emerges in the forefront of the fast-growing field of self-driving cars.
The aggressive settlement demands also suggest that  Waymo  is not in a hurry to resolve the lawsuit  in part because of  its  value as a distraction for Uber leadership  said Elizabeth Rowe  a trade secret expert at the University of Florida Levin College of Law.
 Waymo  recently persuaded a San Francisco federal judge to delay a trial to decide the dispute from October to early December  citing the need to investigate evidence Uber had not disclosed earlier.
Amy Candido  a  Waymo  attorney  declined to comment on any settlement talks  but said the companyâs reasons for suing Uber are âpretty clear.â
â Waymo  had one goal: to stop Uber from using  its  trade secrets â  she  said. âThat remains  its  goal.â
 Waymo  sued Uber in February  claiming that former 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.
Uber denied using any of Waymoâs trade secrets.

 Waymoâs  lawsuit has been disruptive for Uber. U.S. District Judge William Alsup granted  Waymoâs  request for a pretrial injunction in May  which prohibited Levandowski from working on Lidar  a key sensor technology for self-driving cars that is the crux of the current litigation.
Uber later fired Levandowski  regarded as a visionary in autonomous technology  after he refused to return Waymo documents at the heart of the case. Levandowski has asserted his constitutional right against self-incrimination and declined to answer questions from  Waymo  lawyers.
Benchmark cited  Waymo âs allegations of trade secret theft in separate litigation aimed at forcing Kalanick off Uberâs board. A Delaware judge put that lawsuit on hold and sent it to private arbitration.
On Sunday Oct. 1  the day before Kalanick was scheduled to give a deposition in the Waymo case  Kalanickâs lawyers called  Waymo  and asked to postpone the deposition  lawyers for both companies said in court last week.
Kalanickâs lawyers said he was in the middle of a fight to appoint new board members and was therefore too busy   Waymo  attorneys said in court.  Waymo  refused the request  forcing Kalanick to attend the deposition.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former White House strategist Steve Bannon has struck a deal to be interviewed by U.S. Special Counsel Robert Muellerâs team rather than appearing before a grand jury  CNN reported on Wednesday  citing sources close to  Bannon .
 Bannon  had been subpoenaed to testify before a grand jury in Muellerâs probe of alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election and any ties with President Donald Trumpâs campaign  according to a person familiar with the matter.
A spokesman for Mueller declined to comment on the CNN report. A lawyer who represented  Bannon  in an appearance before the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee on Tuesday could not be immediately reached.
An interview with prosecutors would allow  Bannon  to have an attorney present during  his  appearance  as lawyers are not permitted in grand jury rooms.
 Bannon  was a close adviser during Trumpâs campaign and in  his  first months in office  but  he  was fired from  his  White House job in August as the president sought to bring more order to his staff operations.
Earlier this month  Trump attacked  Bannon  for comments  he  made to Michael Wolff  the author of a book highly critical of the president and his family. They included scathing remarks about Donald Trump Jr.  the presidentâs eldest son  for meeting during the campaign with a Russian lawyer who was said to have damaging information on Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.
 Mueller  is investigating allegations that Russia interfered in the 2016 campaign to try to tip the vote in Trumpâs favor  as well as any potential collusion by Trumpâs campaign with Moscow.
According to a person familiar with the arrangement  the attorney who represented  Bannon  for Tuesdayâs House appearance  William Burck  is not representing him in connection with Muellerâs investigation. The person did not believe  Bannon  had hired a counsel for that yet.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Sally Canzoneri is Negative . Adrienne Gaither ’ s “ Tribulations  ” acrylic on canvas . On view through Feb . 24 in “ How I Got Over ” at Transformer . ( Adrienne Gaither / Transformer ) Adrienne Gaither ’ s abstract color paintings are meticulously constructed   their bright hues divided by straight   hard - edge lines . Yet there ’ s a sense of disorder and even menace in some of them   which is reflected in the title of the D . C . artist ’ s Transformer show : “ How I Got Over .” The tension between neat patterns and haphazard disruptions reveals “ Gaither ’ s personal recovery from traumatic events in her life  ” a gallery note explains . The upsets aren ’ t specified directly   and the titles of the six large canvasses offer few clues . The picture that aims the sharpest point of a neon - orange triangle toward the bottom left of a field of shards is named “ Not Just Knee Deep  ” probably after the Funkadelic song . Other titles are more commonplace   although one small collage is dubbed “ Tribulation .” That color - field painting could be narrative   or at least psychological   would once have been heretical . In the 1960s   theorists of the genre insisted that the only proper concerns of such “ post - painterly ” art were its own forms and materials . Gaither has flouted such dogma previously with color - block grids of hues derived from skin tones . In this show ’ s “ Kill Shots  ” she flirts with representation by jagging a yellow spike across the canvas   suggesting lightning or some other sudden   violent blast . Despite such dynamic gestures   Gaither ’ s work shares much with mid - 20th - century color painting . The artist has a knack for composition and keeps things interesting by juxtaposing both contrary and complementary hues . Yellows and maroons energize one picture   but so do its abutting areas of two slightly different shades of deep blue . These pictures may have been born out of upheaval   but they ’ re immaculately controlled . Adrienne Gaither : How I Got Over Through Feb . 24 at Transformer   1404 P St .

( Sally Canzoneri / Art League Gallery )   Sally Canzoneri  How can you be in two eras at once ?  Sally Canzoneri  simulates time travel with lenticular photographs — matched images of the same place   made years apart and cut into an accordion - fold pattern . From the front   strips of both scenes are visible ; from the sides   only one can be seen . That ’ s why  the artist  calls  her  Art League Gallery show “ Double Takes .”  Canzoneri  lives in Washington   and most of  her  two - timing pictures show D . C . sites   decades or more apart . Here   she has included two Alexandria doublings   including one that contrasts the show ’ s venue   the Torpedo Factory   in 1921 and 2017 . The largest gap   chronologically if not thematically   is between the former slave traders ’ building at 1315 Duke St . in 1861 and 2017 . The older of those pictures is by Mathew Brady   the D . C . Civil War photographer . Most often   though   the earlier image ’ s maker cannot be identified .  Canzoneri  works with unknown predecessors   first by framing  her  shot of the scene in imitation of the original   and then by fusing the two . Think of this not as appropriation   but collaboration . Canzoneri ’ s lenticulars are made of paper rather than marble   but they ’ re a kind of civic art .

Anika Cartterfield ’ s show “ The Wild  ” at VisArts . ( Anika Cartterfield / VisArts ) Anika Cartterfield & Alex Braden At the National Gallery of Art currently stand a grove of columns   sleek and pure   by the late D . C . artist Anne Truitt . Anika Cartterfield also makes columns   but they ’ re not so pristine . The most vivid piece in “ The Wild  ” her show at VisArts Common Ground Gallery   slams a tree ’ s root ball through a hollow pillar . The ragged end that erupts from one side is painted white to match the surface it breaches ; the other end is smoother and varnished like a piece of furniture . Cartterfield   who lives in Upstate New York   formerly worked for Vermont ’ s forest service . When working with wood   she ’ s concerned more with the quality of the raw material than with what it might be made into . She subverts the look of white - walled art spaces and neatly sanded sculptures with pieces that are unfinished and partly open to reveal their structure . This show ’ s tidiest pieces are three columns topped with photos of art installations in forests . The woods   it appears   are Cartterfield ’ s favorite gallery . Alex Braden ’ s sound installation “ A Lesser Light .” ( Alex Braden / VisArts ) Downstairs at VisArts   Gibbs Street Gallery has become a listening room for Alex Braden ’ s electronic music . The D . C . composer ’ s “ A Lesser Light ” is an “ automated improvisation ” that randomly emits bits of music in a theoretically infinite arrangement . The sounds include drones   whooshes and clipped notes ; they recall Balinese gamelan and the music of Steve Reich and Brian Eno . In previous installations   Braden has employed near - obsolete and sometimes unreliable technology   including rotary telephones and cassette players . But this piece ’ s physical presence consists only of the speakers that broadcast the eight different audio channels . The result is a room and a composition that are clean and clear   with just enough capriciousness to keep listeners looking over their shoulders .

Antonio McAfee & Rachel Guardiola In the epilogue to “ Invisible Man  ” author Ralph Ellison refers to aspects of African American history as “ Old Bad Air .” Antonio McAfee borrows that phrase for the title of his Hamiltonian Gallery show of manipulated vintage photos . The Baltimore artist distorts 19th - century portraits of people of color to suggest how their subjects ’ lives were warped by racism and oppression . Included are several large photos that display various degrees of digital abuse ; one nearly abstract image appears in both negative and positive versions . There ’ s also a full wall of small   deformed pictures   printed on thin acrylic so they curl partly off the wall . This multitude   dignified yet precarious   is the most powerful chapter in McAfee ’ s history lesson . Also at Hamiltonian is Rachel Guardiola ’ s “ A Hand Without Horizon Is Taller Than Its Other  ” which includes altered video as well as photos . Mostly derived from the artist ’ s performances   the images illustrate the actions of a fictional “ time - traveling surveyor and a horticultural pirate ” as they travel “ an earth - like planet  ” according to the gallery . In the photos   hot colors and overlapping   close - up images seem to turn Guardiola ’ s hands into a sort of flora . In this miniature universe   the artist is both the explorer and the explored .
