[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Haruhiko Kuroda ? TOKYO (Reuters) - Japan reappointed central bank chief Haruhiko Kuroda for another term on Friday  and chose an advocate of bolder monetary easing as one of his deputies in a strong signal to investors that policymakers are in no rush to turn off a sweeping stimulus program.

As a former top Japanese currency diplomat   Kuroda  had criticized the BOJ for not doing enough to ease the pain a strong yen was inflicting on an export-reliant economy.
 His  calls for more radical monetary steps drew Abeâs attention and brought  him  to the BOJ helm in 2013  where  he  worked with Amamiya to deploy a sweeping asset-buying program.
A workaholic who does not play golf or drink much - making him a rare breed among Japanese policy elites -  Kuroda  has proved to be a safe hand for the government with  his  unwavering commitment to keep the money spigot wide open.
 He  befriended many overseas policymakers during  his  stint as head of the Asian Development Bank from 2005 to 2013.
People who work with him or know him well say  Kuroda  appears lively and fit for another term despite  his  age and the demanding schedule  which involves frequent overseas trips and visits to parliament to answer lawmakersâ questions.
 Kuroda  will face challenges different from five years ago in his second term. The yenâs ascent to 15-month highs has drawn verbal intervention from the finance minister  a sign Abeâs government may pile pressure on the BOJ to ramp up stimulus if yen rises persist.

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Yondr ? * * * France isn’t the first killjoy to quit the smartphone party. In 2015  the Canadian artist Garnet Hertz invented a cheeky device called “Phonesafe ” a masochistic lockbox designed to incarcerate smartphones for a set period of time. Hertz meant Phonesafe as a provocation  but the same idea quickly became a product. Today  you can buy similar  but mass-produced  containers on Amazon  and multi-phone lockers have become a mainstay in corporate offices and schools around the world. A McDonald’s in Singapore has even installed a locker designed to promote “family togetherness” and face-to-face conversation. If you attend a Guns n’ Roses concert or a comedy performance by Dave Chappelle  ushers will require you to lock your device in a neoprene pouch and take it into the show in that state.  The phone-locking pouch  made by a San Francisco company called Yondr   has a wide opening at the short end for inserting a smartphone. A magnetic locking mechanism  similar to those on anti-theft tags in retail stores  engages to hold it closed. After the show  this clasp is swiped across a counter-magnet  which releases the lock.  Yondr  is a surefire way to cut down on bootleg YouTube videos. In Wired  Alice Gregory recently took a tough look at the device. Gregory recounts her experience at a Chris Rock performance  where audience members waiting in the lobby had to forgo smartphone usage. The affair reduced them to “a roomful of jonesing fiends ” as she puts it. Ultimately  Gregory connects  Yondr  to a thorny question about civil liberties: the right of the people to keep and bear smartphones.
It’s an ironic conclusion  because  Yondr  is sold as a tool to provide freedom  rather than to take it away. To “Be Here Now ” as the company’s tagline puts it. It’s a promise to deliver presence—a tricky calling  to say the least. Presence has a long history in religion and philosophy  from Buddhist practices to the metaphysics of the 20th-century philosopher Martin Heidegger. Today  presence is most common in the various mindfulness trends that have overtaken individual and corporate life  in Silicon Valley in particular—collectively the critic R. John Williams has called them “technê-zen.” Cutting through the history and the rhetoric  it’s productive to think about presence in terms of attention. You’re present where you focus your attention—and you only have so much attention to pay. In the case of Chris Rock  he wants attention directed toward him  live on stage. Rock’s show might involve awkward improvisation or new material that he doesn't want circulated online. Teachers are less concerned about copyright than comedians are  but they still demand attention. I have tested Yondr’s effects on mind-wandering in classroom experiments with Dan Smilek of the University of Waterloo Vision and Attention Lab. Our research is based in part on the assumption that instructors want students to focus on the course materials  and not on Instagram  Facebook  or other distractions.  Yondr  can be a remarkably effective tool for enforcing digital abstinence in these contexts  thanks primarily to  its  portability. Rather than locking away devices inside lockers  or even inside a disused Catholic tabernacle  as I have done in a performance piece   Yondr  buffers the anxiety of being isolated from your device.
Given that the mere presence of one’s smartphone can reduce cognitive capacity   Yondr  offers a way to surf between the waves of a device’s presence and absence. You can hold it  but you can’t use it. This might be an especially important balance in classroom situations  where students see a teacher’s “phone shoebox” as an unwelcome imposition of authority. * * * Needless to say   Yondr  is still an imposition. And controlling attention requires more than just locking a device in a binge-breaking neoprene pouch. Joelle Renstrom has reported the results of her own  Yondr  experiment in a class at Boston University  where she had her 30 students lock away their devices over the course of a semester. At first  37 percent of the students found the policy annoying  but by the end of the term that figure had dropped to 14 percent. Those are promising  if tentative  results  but Renstrom’s anecdotal comments about the experiment may be more instructive than the data she collected. Renstrom describes her students’ initial experience of Yondr as “akin to caging a pet  a clear denial of freedom.” Moreover  she observes that some students left their cases unlocked as a sign of rebellion  even though they didn’t remove the phones from them. Rather than becoming “active resistors to technology ” as the scholars Christine Satchell and Paul Dourish call people who choose to ignore their devices   Yondr  users are ultimately the victims of technological disenfranchisement. When implemented as a mandatory smartphone prophylactic   Yondr  becomes a means of control  not of choice  let alone of presence.
Such top-down tactics might be enforced easily at live performances  as one of my research assistants observed firsthand at a Chris Rock show in Niagara Falls. However  as a daily ritual for high-school students  all-or-nothing digital abstinence enforced by an authority figure seems destined to backfire  possibly leading to rejection—or even worse  a legal complaint. In an attempt to tackle this disciplinary problem  I have been offering workshops to schoolteachers that riff on and revise the design Yondr originated. In the workshops  I provide a kit that allows students to make their own digital abstinence case  but with an obnoxiously loud Velcro enclosure rather than a silent  magnetic clasp. This semipermeable design—the Resistor Case  I call it—is intended to promote self-regulation  not authoritarian control. The Velcro acts as a gateway to conscience: It provides just enough resistance and noise to make its owner think twice before opening it. Michael I. Norton  Daniel Mochon  and Dan Ariely coined the “IKEA effect” to name the increase in value people assign to self-made products. With the Resistor Case  I’m counting on a similar effect  that students who fist construct and then choose to make use of their DIY phone lockers might be more compelled to use them. Of course  the kit will only work if the teacher provides a context for it that includes a discussion of responsible smartphone use. (The kit provides a series of cards to prompt this conversation.)

[Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Susan Collins ? caption  Susan Collins  and Donald Trump source Kevin Lamarque/Reuters
 Sen. Susan Collins of Maine  announced Monday that  she  will vote ânoâ on the latest Republican healthcare bill  all but surely ending the latest effort to repeal and replace Obamacare.
 Collins  joins Sens. John McCain and Rand Paul in opposition  and since two GOP members could oppose the bill for it to pass  the bill is likely dead.  The Maine senator  also opposed the previous iterations of the Republican healthcare bills  helping to end that push in July.
âSweeping reforms to our health care system and to Medicaid canât be done well in a compressed time frame  especially when the actual bill is a moving target â said a statement from  Collins . âToday  we find out that there is now a fourth version of the Graham-Cassidy proposal  which is as deeply flawed as the previous iterations.â
 Collins  pointed to three primary issues with the bill that caused  her  to oppose it:
Cuts to Medicaid  estimated at roughly $1 trillion from 2020 to 2036  by shifting to a block grant system: âThis would have a devastating impact to a program that has been on the books for 50 years and provides health care to our most vulnerable citizens  including disabled children and low-income seniors â  Collins  said.Weakened protections for people with pre-existing conditions: âSome states could allow higher premiums for individuals with pre-existing conditions  potentially making their insurance unaffordable.âHealth insurance coverage losses: âThird  physicians  patient advocates  insurers  and hospitals agree that both versions of this legislation would lead to higher premiums and reduced coverage for tens of millions of Americans â said the statement.
 Collins  also said that despite the recent change by the authors of the Graham-Cassidy bill to include more money for  her  state in their formula for the new block grants  the overall cut was still too great for  her  to stomach. Additionally   Collins  took issue with the seat-of-the-pants changes to the formula that lead to  her  state gaining more money.
âBut even more important  if Senators can adjust a funding formula over a weekend to help a single state  they could just as easily adjust that formula in the future to hurt that state â  Collins  wrote. âThis is simply not the way that we should be approaching an important and complex issue that must be handled thoughtfully and fairly for all Americans.â
Sen. Bill Cassidy  one of the authors of the new proposal  was frank about the prospects for the bill if  Collins  was not on board during an appearance with CNNâs Wolf Blitzer just hours before the announcement.
âIf you lose  Susan Collins   itâs over right?â asked Blitzer.
