Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Al Franken ? Sen. Al Franken  officially resigned on Jan. 2  nearly a month after  he  announced  his  plans to step down from Congress amid numerous sexual misconduct allegations that began in November of last year.
Aides to  the senator  told Fox News that  Franken  has provided  his  letter of resignation to Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton. Minnesota Lt. Gov. Tina Smith  who is replacing  Franken   is expected to be sworn in on Wednesday.
 Franken   a Minnesota Democrat who has been in office since 2009  was plagued by multiple accusations of sexual misconduct over the past month and faced a Senate Ethics Committee investigation. The allegations began after Los Angeles radio anchor Leeann Tweeden accused him of forcibly kissing her during a 2006 USO tour.
 Franken  announced  he  would resign after more than two dozen key Democratic lawmakers called for  him  to step down.
Hereâs what will happen to  his  Senate seat once  he  leaves office  according to Minnesota election law.
Gov. Mark Dayton would appoint a new senator to fill  Franken âs seat  when  he  resigns  Ryan Furlong  a spokesman for the Minnesota secretary of stateâs office  told Fox News.

Q: What is the sentiment of the following document towards the entity Chris Jordan ? When I first heard about the 7-Minute Workout  an app that promises the benefits of a sweaty bike ride and a trip to the gym in just a few minutes  I thought it was all hype. But as it turns out  the app  well  works you out. I tried it for the first time last year  and I'm still hooked  so I recently got in touch with  Chris Jordan   the director of exercise physiology at the Johnson & Johnson Human Performance Institute and the person behind the Johnson & Johnson Official 7 Minute Workout  to get some insight into how it works. For me  the app is perfect for weekends  or when I can't make it to a yoga class  or as something fun to do with a friend at home. View As: One Page Slides
It consists of 72 exercises like jumping jacks  sit-ups  and push-ups. Ten require nothing but your body  and for others  you'll need a chair that can support your weight. The latest version of the app lets you do each exercise along with  Jordan .
The idea of a workout you can do in minutes was originally envisioned by  Jordan   an exercise physiologist. Here is personal trainer and study partner  Brett Klika  demonstrating one of the workouts. Sources: American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal  YouTube
The concept behind the workout is interval training â short  intense periods of exercise broken up by brief periods of rest.  Jordan  told me  he  based the workout on  his  experience as a fitness consultant for the US Air Force in Europe.

The approach is less time-consuming than a traditional workout  but studies suggest it may be more beneficial for building muscle and protecting the heart. "High-intensity interval training can provide similar or greater benefits in less time than traditional longer  moderate-intensity workouts  " Jordan  said.

I think it 's important to have it in there ," Cruz said . 
"If you want to see Reagan-era economic growth , if you want to see booming GDP -LSB- and -RSB- small businesses growing , you 've got to have Reagan-style tax cuts ," Cruz said Wednesday , adding that tax reform led by President Ronald Reagan spurred "China-level numbers" for economic growth .
