PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Taya Kitman is Neutral . Fish came in to work  and  Taya Kitman  a high-ranking staffer  at the time  and two other employees were in the conference room waiting for  him . They needed to prepare the 400-person seating chart for the organizationâs annual gala.  Kitman  wanted to get  it  done and pressed Fish to help  her . Fish seemed annoyed by  her  request.
Fish  who is well over 6 feet tall  approached  Kitman  from behind  put his hands around  her  neck and applied pressure  according to four people with knowledge of the incident.
One person said Fish meant it as a joke  but took it too far. He left red marks on  Kitman âs neck  the four sources said. Shaken by the encounter   Kitman  tried to downplay  it .
Board member Victor Navasky and The Nation Instituteâs lawyer at the time were briefed the following day about the incident. They told Fish to apologize  and  Kitman  didnât want to take things further.
In an email to HuffPost  Fish said: âThe incident with  Taya Kitman  did not happen as described.  Taya  has been a friend and colleague of nearly 20 years  I have the utmost regard for  her  and the work  she  had done at the institute. We were partners in building the organization and we continue to collaborate on projects that we created together. I know it sounds self-serving  but anyone who knows me knows I would never harm a woman or another person.â
 Kitman  declined to comment.
Reached by phone last week  Navasky praised Fish and insisted he didnât know anything about the alleged physical altercation between Fish and  Kitman . âI donât know what youâre talking about  so thereâs nothing to deny or not deny â he told HuffPost on Friday. âThe Nation Institute is a private thing and the trustees arenât supposed to talk about anything that happened there  and Iâm obeying their rules. But Iâm just telling you that Hamilton was a great partner for me. Period.â
 Kitman  is now executive director of the institute.
âI know that  Taya  recognized that Ham was a problem and did everything she could to get him out of there â Berman said. âThings have been much better since  Taya  took over. Sheâs respected by the staff. Sheâs respected by the fellows. Sheâs respected by the donors. Sheâs very hardworking.  Taya  is literally the exact opposite of Ham  and I mean that in the best way possible about her.â
Berman added: âWhen  Taya  took over  the office became a lot more functional and pleasant to be in.â
After this story was first published   Taya Kitman  released the following statement:

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chris Caldwell is Neutral . These primes are exceedingly rare and sporadic  said Chris Caldwell  a professor of mathematics and statistics at the University of Tennessee at Martin  who studies prime numbers and has written a history of the Mersenne primes.
"Finding a prime is not going to change any theorems in mathematics  but this is a type of prime that has been interesting to mathematicians since several centuries before Christ "  Caldwell  said. Even the ancient Greek mathematician Euclid talked about what would later become the Mersenne primes  he said.
 Caldwell  added that the discovery was akin to breaking a land speed record.
The last few Mersenne primes have been closer to each other than the researchers expected   he  said.
The numbers seem to occur sporadically because researchers don't fully understand the pattern they follow   he  said. "So you expect in any process that appears random to have some close groupings of numbers. But  we  didn't expect to find another one so soon after the last one."
"In the long run   we  hope to use these data to predict how often these occur "  he  added.

SOLUTION: yes

PROBLEM: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Nayeli Flores is Neutral . Nayeli Flores  struggled to bring up  her  two children  working as a legal aide and studying law  so  she  never had time or money to set up an elaborate Day of the Dead altar as  her  son  Julian  wanted to do. This year  Flores  will fulfill  his  wish for an altar â dedicated to the 11-year-old boy and  his  6-year-old sister  Ximena  who died when the quake collapsed their apartment building into a pile of rubble on the city's south side. The two kids had stayed home from school that day while their mom was working.
"My son always complained because we didn't put up an altar  " Flores  said between sobs. "So this year I am going to do it  in his memory."
 Flores  wants to make sure there are stuffed animals on the altar  too. "They used to love them; they would fight over them " she remembered.
Many of the residents of the 1960s-era apartment complex  Flores  called home are still living in tents beside buildings that survived. Some of the structures can be repaired  but others will have to be torn down.
Seven other people died along with  Flores ' kids in the building that fell. Survivors are erecting a big altar honoring the nine. Yet another altar commemorates all the quake's victims.
"This is going to be difficult  because it is all very recent  but in the end we are honoring their memories " said Carlos Luz  one of  Flores'  neighbors. "It means a lot to the people who lost family members."

SOLUTION:
yes
