question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Rand Paul is Positive . The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan spending bill Friday morning  but not before the federal government shut down when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) delayed the vote past midnight to complain about the budget deficit. It was the second government shutdown in less than three weeks.
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) on Feb. 8 spoke on the Senate floor against a bipartisan budget deal and delayed a vote on the measure. (U.S. Senate)
Then  as an expected vote approached in the Senate   Paul  began to throw up roadblocks  demanding a vote on  his  amendment that would demonstrate how the two-year budget deal breaks past pledges to rein in federal spending.
GOP leaders refused to allow  him  to offer the amendment  arguing that if  Paul  got an amendment vote  many other senators might want one  too.  Paul   in turn  refused to allow the vote to go forward  making use of Senate rules that allow individual senators to slow down proceedings that require the consent of all.
“I can’t in all good honesty  in all good faith  just look the other way because my party is now complicit in the deficits ”  Paul  said on the Senate floor as evening pushed into night.
 Paul  objected after a visibly irritated McConnell tried to move to a vote. Then  Paul  launched into a lengthy floor speech deriding bipartisan complicity on deficit spending while the country goes “on and on and on  finding new wars to fight that make no sense.” The senator direly predicted a “day of reckoning ” possibly in the form of the collapse of the stock market.
As the hours ticked on   Paul  repeatedly refused to consent to allowing the vote to happen  as lawmakers and aides of both parties grew increasingly annoyed at  him . Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.)  leaving the floor after an unsuccessful attempt to curtail  Paul ’s standoff  called the gambit “grossly irresponsible” and said that leaders would not entertain  his  demand for a vote.
Senators of both parties were left fuming  with most of their ire directed toward  Paul .
“ He  has mastered the art of ticking off  his  colleagues ” said Sen. Christopher A. Coons (D-Del.).
“It’s a colossal waste of everybody’s time ” said Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.). Of  Paul   Thune said  “He never gets a result.”
 Paul himself  made no apologies as  he  delivered one floor speech after another  casting  himself  as a lone defender of fiscal austerity  despite having voted in December for a tax bill that added at least $1 trillion to the debt.
answer:
yes

 said oil stopped leaking at 2:25 p.m. local time Thursday after engineers gradually dialed down the amount of oil flowing through the last of three valves on the cap.
 Wells said BP will run a second seismic survey Friday to check for a breach in the well. It will take 24 hours to evaluate the seismic tests.
 Data gathered during the test will be reviewed at 6-hour intervals. Wells said any decisions to end the test or re-open the well will be made by federal officials.
 Meanwhile  Wells said work restarted Friday on the drilling of the first of two relief wells  which is seen as the only permanent way to plug and seal the breached underwater well.
answer:
yes


question:
Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kirti Tiwari is Neutral . Kirti Tiwari was elated when he learned last year that he'd been nominated by his higher-ups at the United States Army to become a NASA astronaut. Tiwari  who first enlisted in the military in 2014  was excited by the prospect of what he felt was a huge career advancement opportunity. "I always had this idea of wearing a uniform " he says.
Tiwari  who first came to the U.S. on a student visa  qualified for the program on account of both his fluency in Hindi and his academic performance. Prior to enlisting  he had earned a master's degree in molecular biology from the University of Houston  and worked as a research specialist at Baylor College of Medicine and Texas Children's Hospital. He enlisted in June of 2014; one year later  he was naturalized through the Army after completing basic combat training and advanced individual training. In 2016  after a months-long process   Tiwari  simultaneously applied for a NASA astronaut candidate program through the Army and a military microbiologist posting.
A few months later   Tiwari  learned the Army had selected  him  as a microbiologist and also nominated  him  for the NASA astronaut program.  Tiwari  was working as an Army health-care specialist at a military base near Tacoma  Washington  where  he  was told that  he  had been retroactively declared ineligible for either career opportunity—precisely because  he  was a foreign-born recruit.
Some soldiers find themselves unable to enter the U.S. Army medical department's programs for dentistry  physician assistantship  and other health professions. "Some people are being told they can't apply to regular officer-producing programs "  Tiwari  says. "Sometimes they are told the previous restriction has been removed  only to receive a clearance but no commission."
Despite this  the Department of Defense says it is still processing security clearances for MAVNIs  and claims there is reason for optimism for soldiers in the program.  Tiwari  remains hopeful about the approval of  his  own pending security clearance— he  plans to move to Georgia this winter to serve as an Army microbiologist in the medical service corps.  He  will also press forward with  his  lawsuit   he  says as a way to seek justice for fellow soldiers.
For now  foreign enlistees remain in limbo  hoping the Department of Defense will determine that they're fit to serve. "I really hope one day I can become an astronaut "  Tiwari  says. For now   his  dream job has been grounded.
