[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Kerry Emanuel ? There are other factors at work besides warming. A global weather pattern called El Niño was absent this year  and that often means a stormier Atlantic Ocean. One reason is that high-altitude "shear winds" in the Atlantic that often nip the tops off budding hurricanes were absent  as well. 
Atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel at MIT  notes that there's also a rather mysterious cycle for Atlantic hurricanes. It seems to repeat about every decade. "We don't really understand it  [but] it's there "  he  says  and it also influences when and how often hurricanes arise. Sure enough  it was 12 years ago  in 2005  when the Atlantic saw such a similarly huge hurricane year.
 Emanuel  says scientists aren't clear whether hurricanes are becoming more common; reliable records for hurricanes go back only about 50 years in the Atlantic  so it's difficult to detect a long-term trend  and data for the Pacific are even scarcer. Theoretically   he  says  some aspects of warming could actually decrease the frequency of hurricanes by drying out parts of the atmosphere. But those that do arise are likely to be nastier. "Insofar as the storms are intense and produce a lot of rain "  he  says  "they're a window into our long-term future."
And it's a costly future   Emanuel  says. "We're just going to get more and more destruction "  he  predicts  "because we just encourage people to live and build in dangerous places" like low-lying coastlines — a fact independent of climate change.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Lili Fini Zanuck ? Image copyright Getty Images Image caption  Lili Fini  Zanuck has directed a new documentary about rock legend Eric Clapton
 Lili Fini  Zanuck  who was only the second woman to ever win a best picture Oscar when  she  took the award for Driving Miss Daisy in 1990  also produced Cocoon and directed 1991's Rush.
"No  we haven't turned a corner "  she  says when asked whether the tumultuous events of 2017 meant the climate was changing for women in the entertainment industry.

 Zanuck  also warns of "tokenism" rather than real change following the allegations of sexual assault and harassment made against prominent Hollywood figures in 2017  including producer Harvey Weinstein.
For part of her career   Lili Fini  Zanuck made films with  her  husband Richard D Zanuck  a producer on the original Jaws movie  who died in 2012. While he co-produced Driving Miss Daisy   she  was the force behind it.
The story of an elderly woman and  her  African American chauffeur  played by Morgan Freeman  started as an independent film and went on to win four Oscars  including for Miss Daisy  herself   Jessica Tandy. It was nominated for another five.
 Zanuck  says she didn't necessarily think she'd come back to directing  but her decades-long friendship with Clapton ( he  did the score for her movie Rush) meant that  he  approached her to make Life in 12 Bars.
" He  was asked to do the film and  he  said  he  would only participate if I directed it " she says. She wasn't surprised  she adds  that the 18-time Grammy winner hadn't been willing to put  his  name to a film about  his  career before now.
 Zanuck  says the "luxury" of directing only came after Driving Miss Daisy  adding that she used the Oscar "to grab my chance  but one doesn't necessarily lead into the other".
Eric Clapton: Life in 12 Bars is released in the UK on 12 January. A Q&A with Clapton and  Zanuck  will be broadcast live to cinemas around the UK with a preview screening of the film on 10 January.

[EX Q]: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Corrie Davis ? A white student  dressed as a plantation owner  said to a 10-year-old black classmate  "You are my slave " said  the black child's parent  Corrie Davis .
"What I want  them  to understand is the pain it caused my son "  Davis  said of her child  who did not dress up that day. "This is bringing  them  back to a time when people were murdered  when people died  when people owned people."
 Davis  recorded an emotional video in which  she  explains how  she  was affected by what happened to  her  son. It has attracted about 70 000 views on Facebook.  The distraught mother  said  she  met with school officials  but was dismayed when they refused to promise that they would never conduct a class in that way again. The issue could come to a head in a couple of weeks  when  Davis  plans to bring it up at a regularly scheduled school board meeting.
Its suggestions included overalls â which  Davis  believes could have been meant to represent the clothing worn by slaves â and dark pants and white button-down shirts. White button-down shirts have become synonymous with demonstrators protesting the removal of Confederate statues in recent months. They were worn  for example  by some of the white nationalists who staged a rally in Charlottesville  Virginia  that led to violent clashes in August.
 Davis  said she won't back down in her effort to stop the dress-up aspect of the school's Civil War Day. She said she doesn't want other students going through what her son did.
"What they can do is say  'We're not going to do this anymore ' " Davis  said. "It is mind-boggling to  me  that no one will say that."
