Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Clint Eastwood is Negative . In 1992  Clint Eastwoodâs  âUnforgivenâ won four Academy Awards and sent  his  career on an entirely new trajectory.
Yes  it was a Western and  Eastwood  had made plenty of those already but  âUnforgiven â was different. It had some action but mostly it was a bleak character study and was regarded by many as âart.â Whether intending to or  not Eastwood  had become an auteur.
In the wake of this critical and artistic breakthrough  Warner Brothers â  Eastwood âs exclusive distributor for  his  entire output as a director since  his  debut âPlay Misty for Meâ in 1971 â began to position not all but most of  his  future efforts as âOscar bait.â Thirteen of Eastwoodâs next 19 films came out in the fall â the highly-treasured time of year reserved for awards contenders. The six that were not released in autumn were low achievers such as âAbsolute Powerâ and âBlood Workâ and lightweight fluff like the senior citizen buddy comedy âSpace Cowboysâ and the bizarre misfire that was âJersey Boys.â
Warner Brotherâs long term  Eastwood  strategy paid off in spades. Since and including âUnforgiven â Eastwoodâs films have been nominated for 35 Oscars and have won 12 with  Eastwood himself  walking away with four as well as receiving the prestigious Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1994.
Less than a dozen people have won more Oscars than  Eastwood  and most of those were in technical categories. Not bad for a guy who used to co-star with monkeys.
Beginning in 2006 with âFlags of Our Fathersâ and âLetters from Iwo Jimaâ (shot at the same time but released three months apart)  Eastwoodâs choice of material started to change. The political content began to increase (âJ. Edgar â âInvictus â âGran Torinoâ) and although not overt it confirmed what many had known for a while:  Eastwood  was a conservative. While a moderate on most social issues   Eastwood  considers  himself  a âpragmatic Libertarianâ who eschews political correctness and  his  output in the last dozen years has indicated that  he âs an unabashed patriot.
While not a backer of most American Wars  he âs a staunch and unwavering supporter of armed service personnel  a point made with unmistakable clarity in âAmerican Sniper.â In addition to being the highest-grossing movie of 2014 and Eastwoodâs career  this throttling and unflinching bio-drama about the late Chris Kyle (Bradley Cooper) lit a welcomed fire under red state Middle America.  Eastwood  pulled off a delicate balancing act by crafting an inspirational  crowd-pleasing film that didnât pander while acknowledging the efforts of an American hero without addressing the war itself.
âThe 15:17 to Parisâ â the new movie about the three soldiers that thwarted the 2015 Thlys Train Attack â opens this Friday and it is the first  Eastwood  movie in at least 20 years that was not made available for advance press viewing.
Instead of hiring regular actors to portray the leads   Eastwood  cast the actual soldiers who confronted the terrorist â a bold move indeed and one sure to appeal to fans of âAmerican Sniper.â

 New York Times bestselling author Shaka Senghor  remembers  his  first night in prison.
It was fall. And it was cold. The windows were busted. Two scruffy wool blankets covered a three-inch plastic mattress.  He  had to use both blankets â one to cover  his  feet  the other for  his  upper torso. But it was  so cold Senghor  eventually got up and put one of the blankets in the broken window. As  he  looked out   he  saw a couple of young men  his  age playing around a garbage can.  He  envied their freedom.
âIt just was ... dark and lonely sitting in that cell and realizing that this was the next however many years of my life  if not the rest of my life â says  Senghor   author of Writing My Wrongs: Life  Death and Redemption in an American Prison.
 Senghor   who was sentenced to 17 to 40 years for second-degree murder  served 19 years in prison  spending seven years in solitary confinement. He was released from prison on June 22  2010. He walked in at the age of 19  and didn't walk out until he was 38.
 Senghor  is now 45  and the past seven years have been a mixed bag. It was hard to find a job. For a couple of years   he  said   his  job applications were dismissed almost immediately because of  his  felony conviction.
As difficult as starting over was for  Senghor    he  had it better than others.  He  lived in Michigan  a state with one of the lowest employment restrictions for former felons in the country â 94. The state with the highest number  Louisiana  has 389 employment restrictions. Nationwide 6 392 of the 48 000 restrictions on former felons are on employment.
Beyond employment challenges  strict rules regarding parole and probation make successful re-entry challenging for men  says  Senghor . Any encounter with police   he  notes  can get an inmate sent back to prison. As an African American man returning to a low-income neighborhood  itâs difficult to avoid law enforcement   Senghor  points out. Something as small as jaywalking can get black men detained in communities where stop-and-frisk measures are disproportionately employed.
And  Senghor  remembers growing up in such a community in Detroit. At 17  he  was shot while standing on a street corner. And  he  developed a paranoia that turned into hyper-violence   he  explained during a TED talk.
That defensive posture â is what caused  him  to pick up a gun  and what eventually led to  his  arrest and incarceration.
It took a long time for  Senghor  to drop that way of thinking. And some men never do as they rack up more serious criminal infractions and technical violations while they are on parole.
âWe should be figuring out waysâ¦to do away with a lot of these technical parole violations which aren't crimes  " Senghor  says  "but you're punishing the person as if they've committed a new crime and you're creating the stigma that anybody who's going back just can't get it together when in reality a technical violation really isn't something worthy of a person being incarcerated for.â
 Senghor  is working on that issue as the director of strategy and innovation for #cut50  an organization co-founded by Van Jones that works on criminal justice reform policies including re-entry initiatives and reducing the restrictive nature of probation and parole.  He  is also an executive producer of the show âReleased â on the OWN network. It shows the challenges of people recently released from prison.
 Senghor  describes Americaâs justice system as âdysfunctional  broken  outdated  and not designed to foster rehabilitation efforts or to keep communities safe.â  He  says systemic racism  a failed mental health system  poverty  drug addiction and post-traumatic stress disorder contributes to mass incarceration more than anything else.
âWe have a system that fails "  Senghor  says. "And we still dump money into the system to further support the things that are proven not to work.â

Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Steve Howell is Neutral . An alien star in distant space seems to be acting very strangely . NASA ' s Kepler Space Telescope caught sight of the star as part of the spacecraft ' s hunt for planets outside the solar system   which are also known as exoplanets . Kepler looks for exoplanets by seeing a dip in the light of a star   presumably when a planet passes between its host star and the spacecraft . This eclipse produces a regular   periodic dip in the starlight that can help scientists characterize the planet . But when Kepler caught sight of this star — called KIC 8462852 — it didn ' t see anything resembling a regular   periodic dip in starlight . Instead   the probe saw a more erratic dimming and brightening of the star   nothing like what you ' d expect to see when a planet eclipses . “ We ’ d never seen anything like this star  ” Tabetha Boyajian   a postdoc researcher at Yale told the Atlantic   one of the first publications to report on the finding . “ It was really weird . We thought it might be bad data or movement on the spacecraft   but everything checked out .” So   what could this weird star be ? Numerous media outlets   including   to some extent   The Atlantic   have latched onto the idea that it could be an “ alien megastructure ” constructed by an extraterrestrial civilization orbiting that star . Such a structure would be large enough to periodically block light from the star . But the truth is that scientists aren ' t yet sure what could be causing the star to flicker from our perspective   and an “ alien megastructure ” is pretty far down on their list of possible explanations for the light curve . “ It ’ s kind of funny   I don ’ t really know how this ended up going from weird dips in a light curve to alien structures  ” Kepler scientist Steve Howell told Mashable in an interview . “ The alien hypothesis should be a last resort . Something we consider for fun rather than out of seriousness  ” MIT exoplanet scientist Sara Seager told Mashable in an email . In reality   there could be other   very cool explanations for why the star seems so odd . Some people have suggested that there could be a huge swarm of comets surrounding the star   causing its light to dip in and out from Kepler ’ s perspective . A planet that has broken up in orbit around the star    Howell  added   could even cause the odd light dips .  Howell  was also reminded of another star system  he  and  his  colleagues working with Kepler have been studying recently . The strange solar system — named KIC 4150611 — appears to be made up of five stars orbiting one another   a kind of star system never before observed . “ While that ’ s an unusual system   it ’ s certainly not aliens . It ’ s just stars  ”  Howell  said . The KIC 4150611 light curve looks kind of similar to the ones produced by Kepler for KIC 8462852    Howell  said .  Howell  and  his  colleagues haven ’ t yet published their findings   but they hope to in the near future . The KIC 8462852 findings   which have set off the media speculation   were first detailed in a study that has been submitted for publication to the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society   though it has not yet gone all the way through the peer review process . The discoveries were made   in part   thanks to a group of citizen scientists working with Planet Hunters to comb through Kepler data . The initial study didn ’ t mention any kind of “ alien megastructure  ” Howell said . The authors instead opted to discuss some more mundane — and more likely — possibilities for what they were seeing in their data . The first study led to another not - yet - peer - reviewed paper posted to arxiv . org . That website is a repository of electronic preprints   known as e - prints   of scientific papers in fields from mathematics to biology   all of which can be accessed for free . These papers have not yet been fully peer previewed   however   which means their findings should be treated as preliminary . The second paper that appeared on arxiv mentioned what a structure built by aliens might look like and how it might relate to KIC 8462852   but — and this is a crucial detail — that study also made it clear that " it ' s aliens " was not necessarily a good explanation for the light curve .  Howell  has offered to take some photos of KIC 8462852 when  his  team uses a ground - based observatory for other observations next week . This could help clear up the mystery of exactly what ’ s going on with that star system . “ In science   I think that we believe Arxiv papers are nice   but if they ’ re not refereed and accepted   then you always have a little skepticism about them or a little concern  ”  Howell  said . “ I don ’ t think [ this ] paper falls into the ‘ crap ’ category   but it ’ s not yet accepted   so we have to take the results that are in it with a little bit of a grain of salt .” For  Howell    all the talk of possible alien structures seen by Kepler hits oddly close to home .  Howell  recently edited a book of short stories called " A Kepler ’ s Dozen : Thirteen Stories About Distant Worlds That Really Exist  " which includes a story eerily like this one . The short tale involves a group of aliens that uses giant   opaque sails to block out the light from their sun in order to send messages to other civilizations . This alien race generates a kind of “ Morse Code ” that other civilizations can interpret by reading the light curve produced by the dips . “ It ’ s really fun because now it ’ s like the science fiction story has come true in a sense  " Howell said .
