PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Toma is Neutral . Since the new year  and the new U.S. administration  I havenât taken a day off  let alone a weekend. Like so many others  Iâve attended way too many meetings and marched until my feet blistered. I wrote a book in a blur  then toured with it. And my husband Avi and I helped start a new political organization. Throughout the winter and spring  âB.C. in Augustâ was our family mantra. It was the finish line (albeit a temporary one)  and we fully planned to collapse on it. It was also the way we kept our 5-year-old son Toma in the game. On cold nights in the east  we mapped out the forested walks we would take  the canoe trips  the swims. We imagined the blackberries we would pick  the crumbles we would bake; we listed the grandparents  aunts  uncles  cousins  and old friends we would visit.
My allergies are going nuts. I bath my eyes in drops and pop antihistamines well beyond the recommended dosage.  Toma  breaks out in hives so severe  he  needs steroids.
Itâs week two of the smoke-out  and the blackberries are finally ripe. We set out to collect them. It feels strange to be going through with this carefree summer ritual with the air so thick and the news so grim â but we do it anyway. Combining hiking with nonstop eating is one of Tomaâs all-time favorite activities.
Itâs pretty much a bust. With so little rain and such a weak sun to warm them  even the ripest berries are sour.  Toma  quickly loses interest and refuses to try any more. We come home with shin scratches and an empty bucket.
We donât stop hiking though. In fact  we spend at least an hour or two a day walking through the stands of moss-covered cedars and Douglas firs  breathing in the super-oxygenated air. I love these forests and have never taken their primordial beauty for granted. Now I find  myself  in near worship â thanking them not just for scrubbing the air  and for the shade and the carbon sequestration they provide (âecosystem servicesâ in the lingo of business environmentalism)  but for their sheer stamina. For not joining their burning brethren. For sticking with us  despite our failings. At least so far.
âLooks like snow is coming â  Toma  declares solemnly   his  face pressed up to the window and the white  thick air on the other side.
Avi and I donât talk to  Toma  about climate change  which may seem strange given that I write books about it and Avi directs films about it  and we both spend most of our waking hours focused on the need for a transformative response to the crisis. What we do talk about is pollution  though on a scale he can understand. Like plastic  and why we have to pick it up and use less of it because it makes the animals sick. Or we look at the exhaust coming out of cars and trucks  and talk about how you can get power from the sun and the wind and store it in batteries. A little kid can grasp concepts like these and know exactly what should happen (better than plenty of adults). But the idea that the entire planet has a fever that could get so high that much of life on earth could be lost in the convulsions â that seems to me too great a burden to ask small children to carry.
So  no  Iâm not going to tell  Toma  that the fires are a happy part of the cycle of life. We settle for half-truths and fudging to make the nightmare subside. âThe animals know how to escape from the fires. They run to rivers and streams and other forests.â
The next day brings rain; not a lot  but enough to hope for some relief for the 2 400 exhausted and overworked firefighters. My allergies clear up  and Toma starts sleeping through the night again.

SOLUTION: no

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity David Greenfield is Neutral . The groups  known as the Broadway Triangle Community Coalition  wrote to land  use chair David Greenfield  demanding that  he  recuse  himself  from considering the project because  he âs set to leave office and take over the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty.
But  Greenfield (D-Brooklyn)  says the Met Council has nothing to do with the plan  and opponents are just targeting  him  because  he âs Jewish.
âYour behavior thus far is both professionally irresponsible and reckless  and has compromised your participation as an elected representative in this legislative process. The conflicts of interest raised by your involvement in the present Council action are numerous and unwaivable â coalition chair Juan Ramos wrote to  Greenfield .
âThe letter is part of a clear and calculated campaign of intimidation and continued misinformation by the opponents of this private application â  Greenfield  said  saying group leaders have a history of âanti-Semitic remarksâ that âcalls into question the true motivation of this group.â
âIt's telling that this group did not ask Council Member Antonio Reynoso  a member of both the subcommittee and committee  to recuse himself and instead focused on the obviously Jewish council member. This kind of race-baiting politics is disgusting and shameful and has no place in New York City's land use decisions â  Greenfield  said  adding  he  had cleared the issue with the city Conflicts of Interest Board.
The letter complains  Greenfield  answered legitimate concerns about potential discrimination  which opponents say will exacerbate a long history of racial segregation in the neighborhood  with âridicule  racebaiting and derision.â
Needelman  like  Greenfield   is an Orthodox Jew  and said the allegation of anti-Semitism is absurd.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Bill Polian is Positive . Bill Polian   Hall of Fame executive.  His  status as a prognosticator is less solid. (NFL Network)
 Bill Polianâs  track record is undeniable. As general manager of the Buffalo Bills   he  cobbled together the lineups that advanced to four straight Super Bowls. With  Polian  at the personnel helm  the expansion Carolina Panthers advanced to the NFC championship game in just their second year of existence.  Polian  then concluded  his  career by shaping the Indianapolis Colts into a Super Bowl winner.
 He âs in  the Hall of Fame  and deserves to be  even if  his  post-football career as an ESPN analyst has been  shall we say  slightly less successful in the prediction department.
 Polian âs latest forecast involves Louisville quarterback Lamar Jackson  who  he  says is too short â at 6-foot-3 â and not accurate enough to be a successful NFL quarterback.
âI think wide receiver â  he  said  when asked about what NFL position Jackson should play Monday on ESPNâs âGolic and Wingo.â âExceptional athlete  exceptional ability to make you miss  exceptional acceleration  exceptional instinct with the ball in his hand  and that âs  rare for wide receivers. That âs  [Steelers wideout Antonio Brown] and who else  name me another one whoâs like that  right? Julio [Jones] is not like that. This guy is incredible in the open field and [has] a great ability to separate and  again  heâs short and a little bit slight and clearly  clearly not the thrower that the other guys are. His accuracy isnât there  so I would say  donât wait to make that change  donât be like the kid from Ohio State [Terrelle Pryor] and be 29 when you make the change.â
Anyway  it wouldnât be the first time  Polian  has been wrong.
