PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Thomas S. Monson is Positive . The twice-yearly conference is preceding without  church President Thomas S. Monson   90  who is dealing with ailing health. It's the first time in more than a half century that  Monson  hasn't spoken at the conferences. Before becoming church president in 2008  he served on the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles starting in 1963.
 Monson  has scaled back conference participation in recent years  and in May  church officials said that  he  was no longer going regularly to meetings at church offices because of limitations related to  his  age.
 Monson  is the first church president since 1994 not to attend and make at least one speech  but prior to that  it was fairly common for presidents to miss conference toward the end of their lives.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf  one of  Monson 's top two counselors  said  Monson  was watching from  his  home. " President Monson   we love you very much " Uchtdorf said.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Bannon is Neutral . The attempts to curtail testimony to congressional investigators became clear this week when  former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon  appeared before the House Intelligence Committee and infuriated both sides of the aisle by refusing to answer questions about  his  work during the presidential transition and in the White House.
At some points during  Bannon 's six hours of closed-door testimony   his  attorney took breaks to confer via telephone with the White House counsel's office to clarify what questions could be answered and came back with the same guidance:  Bannon  could not discuss any activities related to the transition or  his  tenure in the White House.
 Bannon 's team negotiated ground rules with the White House counsel's office the week prior to his appearance before the House Intelligence Committee  according to a source familiar with the situation.
The President's personal legal team was aware of discussions between the White House counsel's office and  Bannon 's lawyer about protecting a possible privilege claim. But it wasn't their decision  according to a person familiar with the discussions. The protection of the privilege is a matter for the White House  not the President's legal team  because it relates to the office.
Before the hearing   Bannon 's lawyer informed a staff member of Rep. Devin Nunes  the California Republican who chairs the House Intelligence Committee  that  Bannon  planned to claim executive privilege on topics beyond the presidential campaign  a source said.
But that information was apparently tightly held. "It caught me personally by surprise" that  Bannon  asserted executive privilege  said Rep. Mike Conaway  the Texas Republican leading the committee's Russia investigation.
South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy and Florida Rep. Tom Rooney  the other two Republicans leading the Russia probe along with Conaway  also said they weren't aware of any agreement between the White House and committee staff about the scope of  Bannon 's testimony.
"They wouldn't do that because I'd ask what I think is relevant to ask  and if you've got a legal privilege you can assert it " Gowdy said  adding that  Bannon  was in a "legally indefensible position."
As it became clear on Tuesday that  Bannon  was refusing to answer questions  the committee served  him  with a subpoena to compel  him  to divulge additional information.
But the scope of what  Bannon  was claiming was privileged shocked members from both parties.
" His  version of executive privilege is it covers the transition  the time  he  was at the White House and covers time forever " Gowdy told Fox News Wednesday. "That is no one's definition of executive privilege."
Lawmakers were also offended that  Bannon  had already divulged details about some of  his  post-campaign activities in Michael Wolff's explosive book "Fire and Fury " but then refused to discuss those events with the committee.  Bannon 's attorney also informed members that he would  in fact  answer those questions when he meets with special counsel Robert Mueller's team because executive privilege doesn't apply to Mueller's investigation.
Democrats charge that  Bannon 's appearance before the House committee marks the broadest attempt so far at using privilege to shield events that occurred from the moment Trump was elected.
Republicans haven't ruled out the possibility of holding  Bannon  in contempt  but at least one GOP member -- Gowdy -- suggested it was unlikely.
House Speaker Paul Ryan downplayed the issue of whether witnesses like  Bannon  might be abusing the bounds of executive privilege.
Still   Bannon 's stonewalling sparked a sharp warning from Conaway -- the Republican leading the House Russia probe -- to White House aides who might follow the Bannon model: "We're going to insist on getting questions we need to answer our report."

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Charles Shriver is Neutral . âWeâve been lowering our allocation to stocks and have increased our allocation to bonds as well as cash â said Charles Shriver  co-head of the Asset Allocation Committee at T. Rowe Price  describing changes over the past âseveral quarters.â
âWe have been reducing the risk profile in our portfolios â  Shriver  told Reuters.
The near-decade-long bull market in U.S. stocks has beefed up the average investorâs stock holdings  he said  and it may make sense for some investors to decrease their risk. Stocks are still expensive relative to their long-run records  according to  Shriver .
Bonds will nonetheless retain their ârole as a diversifier â  Shriver  said. Bond prices tend not to move in the same direction of stocks over time  a divergence that helps investors stay invested and which  Shriver  expects to continue.
âYou are getting compensated for liquidity â said  Shriver .
He said T. Rowe Price also sees relative bargains in Europe and Japanâs stock markets. The asset manager has also been increasing its allocation to small-capitalization stocks  which  Shriver  said could benefit from U.S. corporate tax cuts.
