question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Fadia ? So once again  we put out the call to Syrian contacts around the U.S. And we found  a woman named Fadia .  She  was born and raised in Aleppo and came to the U.S. more than 30 years ago.  She  and  her  husband raised their children here.  She  asked that we not use  her  last name because  she  still has family in Aleppo and doesn't want them to get in trouble if the wrong person hears of  her  participation in this story.
But  her  family â they were our in.
So that's how it happened that one of Fadia's relatives walked in to Syrjeia by the public garden and said  "There's a radio show in New York that wants to talk to you."
A few weeks later  I was in  Fadia 's living room in the New York suburbs calling Imad Syrjeia on an app called Viber that the Syrian government can't track. Imad's father opened the restaurant in the 1970s and has since passed away.
At first  Imad was wary.  Fadia  explained  her  family's connection to  his  and reminded  him  of the person who had come into  his  store talking about a radio show in New York.  She  said it's just a show about food â nothing political.  He  said OK.
When I asked how  he  and the restaurant were doing  Imad insisted everything was great. But  Fadia  said  he  would never dare say otherwise  in case the wrong person is listening.
" He  doesn't know you " she explains. " He  can't even say it to  me . I'm Syrian but  he  won't."
I don't speak Arabic. (Later on I had the recording of this conversation translated.) But just hearing Imad's voice coming out of the speaker in that moment was deeply moving. Knowing  his  voice was coming from a place that the news had told me was destroyed.
As  Fadia  and I said goodbye to him  he invited me to Syria.
"He will welcome you " said  Fadia  enthusiastically. "They're very generous. They welcome everybody!"
answer:
Positive


question:
What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kevin Hall ? "Did they cut more calories from their diet ... or did they become more physically active?" asked study author Kevin Hall   a senior investigator with the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
 Hall  had been "puzzled by how quickly the contestants were losing weight." So he contacted the show's physician and began studying the season eight contestants.
Early on   Hall  observed that weight loss was better predicted by food intake  not physical activity alone. But in the long term  the opposite was true.
"You have to be very physically active in order to keep the weight off  " Hall  said.
 Hall 's findings echo previous studies that promote more exercise for long-term weight loss maintenance. However  experts caution that doesn't mean people can neglect their diets in the long run  either.
This method  however  was not able to tell how much of the physical activity was due to normal daily activities -- like cleaning the house or walking the dog -- versus following a workout plan   Hall  said.
Six years later  however  the contestants' resting metabolisms still hadn't sped back up   Hall  showed in a study last year.
For  Hall   metabolic changes are just one part of the puzzle. Genetics may also play a role  as well as social factors that can make it hard for some people to incorporate so much exercise in their daily lives.
 Hall  added that it's not necessarily those who were most physically active during the competition who kept it up six years later.
answer:

Neutral
