Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Akihito is Positive . TOKYO (Reuters) -  Japan’s Emperor Akihito  is likely to abdicate at the end of March 2019 and Crown Prince Naruhito is expected to ascend the throne in April  the first abdication by a Japanese monarch in nearly two centuries  the Asahi newspaper reported on Friday.
In June  Japan’s parliament passed a law allowing Emperor  Akihito  to abdicate and the government needs to hammer out the details including the timing.
 Akihito   83  who has had heart surgery and treatment for prostate cancer  said in rare public remarks last year he feared age might make it hard for him to continue to fulfill his duties.

The abdication law  which applies only to Akihito and not to future emperors  included a resolution to debate letting female royals stay in the imperial family after marriage but did not touch on the controversial topic of allowing women to inherit.
Asahi said the expected 2019 abdication schedule would minimize the impact on people in changing to a new imperial reign from the current Heisei Era  which started in 1989 after the death of  Akihito ’s father Hirohito  according to the Asahi.
 Akihito   the first Japanese emperor who was never considered divine  has worked for decades at home and abroad to soothe the wounds of World War Two which was fought in  his  father Hirohito’s name.
The Empress also said she felt “an immeasurable sense of peace” that Akihito will be able to rest and spend quiet days after years of pursuing how the Emperor should be.

Answer: yes


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Zach LaVine February is Negative . Zach LaVine  created headlines during the Summer League in July when  he  said  he  planned to return from  his  February left ACL tear by the Oct. 19 season opener.
While declining to put a timeline on  LaVine 's return  executive vice president John Paxson said "that's a pretty safe bet" to rule  LaVine  out of that opener and reiterated the organization's conservative approach for its new centerpiece.
While pleased with his progress   LaVine  admitted doctors told  him   he 'd be sidelined a minimum of nine months  which would place  his  return to practice in early November at the earliest.  LaVine  said  he  won't change  his  style of play and is encouraged that  his  running and jumping stats are better than when  he  participated in the draft combine before  his  rookie season.
"I can't stand just sitting here "  LaVine  said. "But I'm working hard so when I get back I'm not going to have any constraints."
The Bulls have until Oct. 16 to sign  LaVine   22  to a long-term extension. Otherwise   he  becomes a restricted free agent next summer. Either way  general manager Gar Forman basically said the Bulls didn't trade Jimmy Butler to not re-sign LaVine.
"I want to be here for a long period of time "  LaVine  said. "If (an extension is) now or later  I know it's going to be done either way."

Answer: no


Question: Verify if the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Tom Petty is Positive . LOS ANGELES (AP)  â Tom Petty  an old-fashioned rock superstar and everyman who drew upon the Byrds  the Beatles and other bands he worshipped as a boy and produced new classics such as âFree Fallin â² âRefugeeâ and âAmerican Girl â  has died.
 Petty  passed away Monday night at UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles after  he  suffered cardiac arrest at  his  home in Malibu  California  spokeswoman Carla Sacks said. He was 66.
 Petty  and his longtime band the Heartbreakers had recently completed a 40th anniversary tour  one he hinted would be their last.
âIâm thinking it may be the last trip around the country â  Petty  told Rolling Stone last year. âWeâre all on the backside of our 60s. I have a granddaughter now Iâd like to see as much as I can. I donât want to spend my life on the road. This tour will take me away for four months. With a little kid  thatâs a lot of time.â
Usually backed by the Heartbreakers   Petty  broke through in the 1970s and went on to sell more than 80 million records. The Gainesville  Florida  native with the shaggy blond hair and gaunt features was loved for his melodic hard rock  nasally vocals and down-to-earth style. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame  which inducted Petty and the Heartbreakers in 2002  praised them as âdurable  resourceful  hard-working  likeable and unpretentious.â
 Petty  didnât just sing about not backing down   he  lived it. In 1979   he  was enraged when  his  record label was sold and  his  contract transferred. Stating that  he  would not be âbought and sold like a piece of meat â  he  self-financed what became âDamn the Torpedoesâ and declared bankruptcy rather than allowing  his  label  MCA  to release it.  He  eventually reached a new deal with MCA  for better terms. In the early 1980s   he  was again at war with MCA  this time over the labelâs plans to charge extra money  a dollar higher than the standard $8.98  for  his  album âHard Promises.â  He  again prevailed.
 Petty  was both a musician and obsessive fan  one who met  his  childhood heroes and lived out the fantasies of countless young rock lovers.  He  befriended Byrds leader Roger McGuinn and became close to George Harrison  who performed on âI Wonât Back Downâ and joined Petty  Bob Dylan  Roy Orbison and Jeff Lynne in the impromptu super group the Traveling Wilburys.  Petty  inducted Harrison into the Rock Hall in 2004; two years earlier Dylanâs son Jakob inducted  Petty . In the 1980s  Petty and the Heartbreakers supported Bob Dylan on a nationwide tour.
He would speak of being consumed by rock music since childhood  to the point where father  whom  Petty  would later say beat him savagely  thought he was âmental.â Awed by the chiming guitars of the Byrds  the melodic genius of the Beatles and the snarling lyrics of Dylan  he was amazed to find that other kids were feeling the same way.
By his early 20s   Petty  had formed the group Mudcrutch with fellow Gainesville natives and future Heartbreakers (guitarist) Mike Campbell and (keyboardist) Benmont Tench. They soon broke up  but reunited in Los Angeles as the Heartbreakers  joined by bassist Ron Blair and drummer Stan Lynch. Their eponymous debut album came out in 1976 and they soon built a wide following  fitting easily into the New Wave sounds of the time.
The world changed more than  Petty  did over the past few decades. In 2014  around the time  he  received an ASCAP Founders Award   he  told The Associated Press that  he  thought of  himself  as âkind of a music historian.â
âIâm always interested in the older music  and Iâm still always discovering things that I didnât know about â  he  said. âTo be honest  I really probably spend more time listening to the old stuff than I do the new stuff.â
