PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lauren Wasser is Neutral . Five years ago  at age 24  model  Lauren Wasser  nearly died from toxic shock after using a tampon  which resulted in  her  losing  her  right leg and part of  her  left foot. Now   she  may lose  her  entire left leg as well.
âHad I known toxic shock was real  and had I seen someone that had either lost limbs or spoke about it publicly  I would have never used tampons â  Wasser  told People.
The model  who now appears on runways and ad campaigns with  her  gold prosthetic leg  is still struggling with the damage left behind from TSS. At the time of the initial incident in 2012   Wasser  told Vice that doctors wanted to amputate both legs  but  she  fought to keep the left one.

Now  however   she  faces the possibility of becoming a double-amputee. âI'm in excruciating pain every day â  she  told the Post.

 Wasser  has made it  her  mission to warn other women about the risks associated with using tampons  as well as advocate for more transparency regarding feminine hygiene products. âI think this is my purpose and I wouldn't change it for the world â  she  recently told The Washington Post.

Besides being a public advocate and speaking out about the disease that changed her life   Wasser  is also working with Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney of New York to promote legislation that calls for the National Institutes of Health to help determine whether certain elements of feminine hygiene products are safe  the Post reports.
âToxic Shock Syndrome cost me my leg  but  years later  I have since dedicated myself to raising awareness about TSS prevention â  Wasser  wrote in an Op-Ed for InStyle last month. âI want to educate women about the potential risks of using tampons. TSS has been killing and harming women for more than 30 years: let that sink in. How many lives is it going to take for something to change?â

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Dante de Kort is Positive . Last winter   Dante de Kort -- an eight-year-old boy who lives in central Arizona --  found a dead collared peccary  a wild pig-like animal  near  his  house.  He  set up a motion-controlled camera nearby  and over the next ten days  was surprised to discover footage of the peccary's herd returning to visit their dead herd-member  over and over.
When  he  wrote up  his  findings in a school science-fair presentation  it caught the attention of local biologist Mariana Altricher. It looked like the wild pecarries were in mourning  which was surprising: Scientists have seen grief-like behavior in animals like elephants  dolphins and primates  which are known for their high level of intelligence. But never in these creatures  as National Geographic reports:
Having studied the social  pig-like mammals for years  Altrichter knew how tightly bonded peccaries could be. But she'd never witnessed herd members return to a body repeatedly ... “It was pretty amazing because it wasn’t just an immediate reaction and then they moved on—it went on for 10 days ” says Altrichter  chair of the International Union for Conservation of Nature’s Peccary Specialist Group. [snip] In the videos  the peccaries pay close attention to the body  nuzzling  biting  sniffing  and staring at it. They slept next to the carcass  and even tried to lift it by wedging their snouts under the body and pushing upward. And when a pack of coyotes approached their fallen peer  the herd chased them away. “It really surprised me that they would stand up to the coyotes ” says  de Kort   noting the peccaries were outnumbered.
Altricher used the video evidence to write a scientific paper -- "Collared peccary (Pecari tajacu) behavioral reactions toward a dead member of the herd" -- that lists  de Kort  as its lead author.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Pope Francis Letter is Negative . Well  it’s now happened.  The great scandal of the modern Catholic Church  —  its  tolerance for clergy who abuse children  and  its  laxity when dealing with bishops who themselves tolerated or enabled priest-abusers — now touches directly on  the pope himself .
 It ’s worth laying out the timeline clearly. In 2015  Pope Francis appointed Juan Barros Madrid to the bishopric of Osorno  Chile. The appointment was met with local protests  among Catholics and non-Catholics who believed that Barros was implicated in the crimes of child sexual abuse committed by his friend Father Fernando Karadima  a prominent Chilean churchman who habitually kissed and fondled boys. In the days after the installation of Barros at Osono  Pope Francis told an archbishop that there was “no objective reason at all” to oppose the appointment. The Vatican’s own department governing these matters  the Congregation for Bishops  released a statement saying they had “carefully examined the prelate’s candidature and did not find objective reasons to preclude the appointment.”
In the months following the appointment   Pope Francis  became extremely dismissive of complaints. “Osorno suffers  yes  for silliness ”  the pope  said of the outrage in the media. “Think with your head  and do not be carried away by the noses of the leftists  who are the ones who put this thing together ” he added.
A few weeks ago   Pope Francis ’s visit to Chile was marked by protests  and  the pope  continued  his  extremely brusque dismissal. “The day I see proof against Bishop Barros  then I will talk ” the pontiff said. “There is not a single piece of evidence against  him . It is all slander. Is that clear?”  Francis  said that no victims had come forward to  him . It was apparently this statement that caused Cardinal Sean O’Malley of Boston to scramble down to Chile and meet with the pope. After O’Malley’s intervention  presumably  the pope issued a half-apology  but repeated that the accusations against Barros were “slander” before adding  “I’m convinced he’s innocent.”
And now the news drops. In the time between the pope’s appointment of Barros and his commentary about protesters being carried away by leftists  members of the Vatican’s own Commission for the Protection of Minors gathered to discuss the appointment. They had a representative hand-deliver a letter to Pope Francis  from Carlos Cruz. The letter alleged  in lurid detail  that Barros had personally witnessed the abuse of Cruz at Karadima’s hands. Members of the commission photographed the hand-off of the letter to  the pope   to reassure Cruz that they were doing everything possible to make his cry for justice heard.
The facts as we know them leave us with a few interpretations. 1)  Pope Francis  simply never read the letter  ignoring this extraordinary intervention by the Vatican’s own commission on a matter of public controversy for  his  pontificate. 2)  Francis  read the letter but forgot about it  reverting to  his  original understanding of the case. 3)  Francis  read the letter  but stuck to  his  decision for Barros  committing unintentional or intentional deceptions about the state of  his  knowledge of the accusations. 4)  He  read the letter  but either doubted the accusations in it  or at least found them so unimpressive that  he  did not decide to follow up on them.
The first explanation would mean that  Francis  was culpably ignorant. The second that  he  may lack the mental or moral faculties to competently govern the Catholic Church. The third that  he  is too stubborn or vain to change course in the face of evidence. And the last that  he  has little trust or faith in the Commission on the Protection of Minors to pass on credible counsel to  him . Perhaps more reporting or disclosure will change our understanding  but none of these are satisfactory.

SOLUTION:
no
