PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Cyril Ramaphosa is Positive . JOHANNESBURG (Reuters) - South Africaâs finance ministry is set to spell out âtough decisionsâ in its 2018 budget on Wednesday to plug a revenue gap and narrow the deficit  providing an early look at  how new President Cyril Ramaphosa  plans to repair the ailing economy.
Finance Minister Malusi Gigaba  whose position is uncertain now amid talk of an imminent reshuffle by  Ramaphosa   sent shock waves through financial markets last October when  he  announced the projected revenue shortfall and flagged weak growth estimates and rising government debt.
Though it remained to be seen whether Gigaba would be the one tabling the budget in parliament on Wednesday   his  spokesman indicated there was no stepping back from tough measures which have also been emphasized by  Ramaphosa .
In his maiden state of the nation address on Friday  a day after his election as president by parliament   Ramaphosa  also warned of tough decisions to reduce the fiscal deficit and stabilize debt after years of weak growth.
 Ramaphosa  took over after Zuma stepped down on orders of the ruling African National Congress (ANC) ending nine years of office plagued by corruption allegations and economic mismanagement.

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Robert Kaplan is Positive . PALO ALTO  Calif. (Reuters) -  Dallas Federal Reserve Bank President Robert Kaplan  said on Tuesday  he  wants to see more signs of upward inflation before raising interest rates again  but that low long-term borrowing costs may limit how far and fast rates can be raised.
The Fed has raised rates twice this year  and is widely expected to do so again in December. But even as the short-term interest rate targeted by the Fed has climbed  the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury has fallen  a reversal of what usually happens and a development that  Kaplan  said  he  sees as âa little ominous.â
âI view that as a comment on future economic growth â  Kaplan  said at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. âAnd what I donât want to see us do is raise rates so fast that we get an inverted yield curve because history has shown an inverted yield curve has tended to be a precursor to a recession. â
Kaplan  who votes this year on Fed policy   appeared on Tuesday to be wrestling with how to balance the costs of leaving rates low against the potential dangers of raising rates too fast.  He  repeated  his  concern that globalization and technology are keeping inflation muted  despite unemployment that sank in September to 4.2 percent.
While near-full employment is putting some upward pressure on inflation   he  said on Wednesday  those secular forces are acting as headwinds.
âIâll be looking for evidence that we are making progress or likely to make progress over the medium term in reaching our 2-percent (inflation) target â  Kaplan  told reporters after the event.
Asked by a reporter what he thinks of former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh   Kaplan  said  he  believes disagreement at the Fed is healthy.
âI think very highly of Kevin â  Kaplan  said. â He  and I may disagree on some things. I think thatâs a good thing....I am confident that a good decision will be made and the Fed will operate very effectively in the future  including if itâs Janet Yellen  who I think has done an outstanding job.â

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Hirscher is Positive . Olympic ski champ Hirscher  no longer must hear The Question
JEONGSEON  South Korea (AP) â Eventually  The Question began to bother  Marcel Hirscher .
It wasn't so much the actual content  which was always some variation of: "Do you need an Olympic gold medal to validate your otherwise-perfect skiing career?"  He  was certain  he  knew the answer: "No." It was more the incessant echo of it  over and over.
How often did  Hirscher  hear The Question? "Ev-e-ry day "  he  said. This was offered with a smile Tuesday  because that line of inquiry will never again arise. As of the Alpine combined event at  the Pyeongchang Games  Hirscher  is  at long last  an Olympic champion.
"I'm super happy  because now this stupid question has gone away "  Hirscher  said  before adding with gusto  "Now The Question is Zzzzzzztt. Deleted."
 Hirscher  finished in 2 minutes  6.52 seconds  which made him 0.23 seconds faster than silver medalist Alexis Pinturault of France. Another Frenchman  Victor Muffat-Jeandet  was third  more than a full second behind  Hirscher .
Fitting  then  that a race considered the greatest test of versatility in a sport of increasing specialization was how  Hirscher  finally got  his  gold.
As recently as two weeks ago   he  said   he  wasn't even sure whether it was worth entering the combined  in part because it would steal training time away from  his  better events and also because  he  hadn't been on downhill skis in a year.
So  Hirscher  went into the downhill merely hoping to be within 3 seconds of the lead going into the slalom;  he  wound up less than 1Â½ seconds behind  the beneficiary of catching a lull in swirling winds. The same gusts that had led to the postponement of the first two races on the Alpine schedule. Others found themselves dealing with headwinds or blasts of air that hit them from the side.
" He  got lucky this morning with the wind " Rearick said. "But  his  second run  in the slalom  I mean   he  had the adversity there. The wind was blowing hard. You couldn't see the snow. In slalom  when you can't see your feet  it's really tough."
But  Hirscher  can handle that sort of thing better than anyone. Temperatures around zero and winds approaching 50 mph (75 kph) left the snow hard and dry  more like what's found in Colorado than Austria. But because  he  packs a lot of strength into  his  5-foot-8 (1.73-meter) frame   he  can change direction quickly to recover from mistakes.
Two-time Olympic champion Ted Ligety of the U.S.  fifth Tuesday  lauded another  Hirscher  trait.
" His  mental ability is second to none in this sport. You often see so many guys who are fast in training and can't figure it out in a race.  He 's the exact opposite " Ligety said. "You can train with  him  and beat  him  and you're all super-confident. Then the next day   he  goes and wins a race by a lot."
 Hirscher  has dominated the week-in  week-out World Cup circuit  accumulating 55 race wins  second among men only to Ingemar Stenmark's 86.  He  has nine world championship medals. This is  his  third Olympics  but the only previous medal was a slalom silver in 2014.
If  he  never did add gold?
And while  Hirscher himself  has insisted all along  he  did not need to burnish  his  legacy   he  sure did look pleased when  he  leapt atop the podium  then pumped both arms overhead  during a flower ceremony.
