Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Trent Franks ? Arizona Rep. Trent Franks resigned effective immediately Friday afternoon amid damning reports that he made unwanted sexual advances toward female staffers and offered at least one of them millions of dollars to carry a surrogate baby for him and his wife.
 GOP Rep. Trent Franks  resigns amid 'inappropriate behavior' claim
A few hours later  Politico reported that  Franks  had not just approached  his  female staffers about surrogacy — but also seemingly proposed sexual intercourse as a means to impregnate them.
The women said they decided to file complaints with the House Ethics Committee because they were concerned  Franks  was asking about sex  not artificial insemination.
GOP sources aware of the complaints said one of the women claimed she was retaliated against after rebuffing  Franks ' lewd proposal  having her previous access to the congressman revoked.
Also Friday  the Associated Press reported that  Franks  had offered one of the women a whopping $5 million to act as a surrogate for  him  and  his  wife. The woman claimed  Franks  pressed her repeatedly about surrogacy after she initially rebuffed  him .
In addition to talks of surrogacy   Franks  tried to convince a female aide that they were in love after sending her an article describing how two people know they love each other  according to the Politico report.
 Franks'  abrupt resignation comes as Washington  D.C.  reels from a sexual harassment scandal involving dozens of male politicians. Just hours before  Franks  initially announced  his  resignation  Democratic Sen. Al Franken stepped down in response to shocking claims that he sexually harassed a number of women. A few days before that  Franks’ Democratic House colleague John Conyers announced his resignation amid a sexual harassment scandal of his own.
 Franks  forcefully denied ever engaging in sexual misconduct in a lengthy statement on Thursday.
House Speaker Paul Ryan accepted Franks’ resignation on Friday. The House ethics investigation into the shocking claims against  Franks  has thereby been called off  the committee said.

Answer: Neutral


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Alistair Pike ? The discovery brings researchers one step closer to understanding how it is that humans developed art and language and religion — the types of symbolic and cultural expressions that have always been thought to elevate humans from other species  said archaeologist  Alistair Pike  of Britain’s University of Southampton  who was part of the research team.
“It’s almost the definition of being human ”  Pike  told The Washington Post. “It’s how we define ourselves as different from other animals and primates  having language and cultural expression. There’s been a lot of work trying to understand where in Homo sapiens’s lineage did we first become symbolic individuals?”
Perhaps   Pike  said   it  started with Neanderthals.
Still  Stringer stressed that there is still not definite proof of Neanderthals’ ability to make figurative art — of animals and people — because the animals the researchers found on the paintings in Spain have uncertain origins.  Pike  said  it  was not entirely clear whether humans may have stumbled upon the Neanderthal paintings and simply added to them with the vague animal drawings  or if they were a part of the original Neanderthal designs; the researchers have not yet dated them   he  said.
The discovery that they did not  in fact  need the help of modern humans puts Neanderthals and humans on a more level playing field   Pike  said  given that tens of thousands of years ago  modern humans weren’t all that sophisticated either. The end goal with this research  he said  is to understand how the brain became wired for symbolic expression — but that’s going to require a lot more cave discoveries.
“If we’re going to try to find out when we started thinking like humans  we’re going to have to go back further in time ”  Pike  said. “What we’re interested in is when the brain became modern  and that’s a really difficult thing to get at. You can see how big it was by looking at the size of the skull  but it’s really hard to know how it was wired inside. If the use of symbols and symbolic behavior can be used as a proxy for how the brain was wired  then we can understand how the brain evolved.”
The Neanderthals went extinct about 5 000 years after humans arrived in Europe. The suspected causes have ranged from climate change that affected available food to competition with modern humans. As research moves forward   Pike  said  it may be useful to keep in mind that perhaps humans and Neanderthals were not as different as we thought.
“There’s always been a sense that all this expression  this art  arrived with modern humans  and Neanderthals might have been copying them in the very late period of their existence ”  Pike  said. But wouldn’t it be interesting if it was in fact the other way around? Modern humans may have landed on the moon — but they started out in the same place as Neanderthals.”

Answer: Positive


Question: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Schaffner ? Dr. William Schaffner   medical director of the National Foundation for Infectious Disease  a nonprofit organization  told Business Insider that it's hard for experts for sure just how intense this flu season will be.
"Amongst ourselves  we say if you've seen one flu season  you've seen one flu season  " Schaffner  said.
Even so  there are a number of reasons why getting a flu shot is an especially good idea this year   Schaffner  said. Here's his five reasons for everyone who still hasn't gotten the vaccine this fall.
Australia  which heads into summer as the northern hemisphere goes into winter  got hit hard the flu this year. That's especially because of the H3N2 strain of the flu virus. While that still doesn't mean it will definitely be a bad flu season this year  the good news is that the particular strain is a good match to be protected against with  this year's vaccine Schaffner  said.
"I'm afraid we still hear that. No  you cannot get flu from the flu vaccine  " Schaffner  said. According to the CDC  flu shots are either made using an inactive virus that aren't infectious or a vaccine that doesn't contain the virus at all.
"We can do an awful lot of good with this pretty good vaccine  because it's the one we have to use today  " Schaffner  said.
There are plenty of ways to get vaccinated for free. Most insurers cover it as a preventive treatment  and Medicare covers the shot entirely. "It's easy  it's quick  it's covered by insurance  " Schaffner  said. Plus  most drugstore clinics  including Walgreens and CVS have the vaccines available  so you don't even have to go to a doctor's office.

Answer:
Positive
