The Challenger Sale Choreography
If you are familiar with the Challenger Sale, you will quickly recognize the six components of the Challenger Choreography described as follows:
1. The Warmer
2. The Reframe
3. Rational Drowning
4. Emotional Impact
5. A New Way
6. Your Solution
A cursory review of what each stage of the choreography is intended to accomplish is largely unsurprising, and in five of the six stages, looks similar to many selling systems* out there.
There is more than meets the eye, especially as the real point of differentiation tends to hinge on the second stage with the Reframe. Being able to Reframe, or share an insight in a way that the prospect hasn't thought of or considered before, is paramount to moving successfully through the rest of the choreography.
*Just a quick note to remind people that The Challenger Sale is not touted, nor intended as a 'selling system.' Brent Adamson shared the following on the topic in a blog post back in 2012…
"The Challenger Sale isn't so much a "selling system," as it is a way to think differently about how to approach customer interactions."
— Brent Adamson
Cultivating Rep Proficiency with the Reframe
If you are looking to build proficiency in the way your sales and marketing staff successfully communicates reframes, perhaps the exercises we had done in weekly team meetings will be helpful to you in working with your teams.
Getting people to think differently about something in ways they have never done before is not an easy task, especially for those that had not been thinking that way. Therefore, we were looking to develop and cultivate competencies in this specific area so our team could recognize unique points of view and deliver them without the feeling of "starting from scratch," as some had described the process.
The 'Reframe' Exercise
Following is an exercise I led the teams through to not just teach them what to say, but rather teach them how to think to create effective reframes.
Each Team Leader would bring a mystery grab bag of everyday items to the meeting. The team would pair up and grab an item from the bag. Representative items included things like scissors, a whiteboard eraser, aspirin, etc.
The pairs would take 5 minutes to come up with their Teaching Point, followed by a Warmer and a Reframe on their respective item. Next, they would present to the team for a team evaluation. We would then debrief with the whole team by asking a series of questions, such as, "Did they lead WITH the solution or lead TO the solution?" and "Did they share an insight in a way you hadn't considered before?"
In one of the exercises, the teams were tasked with reframing the same item – a wire coat hanger. Some groups went down the path of calling out the many uses for a wire coat hanger (e.g., "perfect for unlocking car doors," which is the stereotypical, product-centric, 'lead WITH' approach). We debriefed and they understood where they made their mistake.
However, following is what came from one group [in abbreviated form] as they had a better handle on the reframe process…
Teaching Point: Homeowners are often short on closet space and fail to realize the main culprits of closet space are plastic and wooden hangers which are 5-10 times the width of wire coat hangers.
Warmer: "We often hear from many of our customers that closet space at home is at a premium as they cite that they have too many clothes and their closets are too small. Is this something you experience as well? [They validate with the customer, so as not to assume a problem they don't have]. The customer/prospect is invited to share the specific details of their problems.
Reframe: "We hear that a lot. In fact I hear solutions ranging from changing out their clothes for each season to complete remodels to build larger closets. What is interesting is that one of the largest contributors to prematurely filling up closet space are plastic and wooden hangers. What kind of hangers are you currently using?"
We call the process batting practice as it is a way of warming up before sales calls. This process has been fruitful with our teams as they have started to recognize and develop reframes on the fly to get people to see things differently all throughout the day.
In fact, for several, they have begun to pass along affirmations to their colleagues in the form of, "I never thought of it that way before," when they have successfully reframed whatever the point was in which they were speaking. They are having fun with the process and the audience, be it customer, prospect, family member or friend, benefits as a result of the new insight.
Share your insights on exercises you have used or are using with your teams.

Drew Smyly and Andy Oliver, Detroit's No. 3 and 4 prospects, combined on six shutout innings in their club's 10-3 Grapefruit League victory over the St. Louis Cardinals.
In relief of Adam Wilk, the system's No. 17 prospect and yet another candidate for the rotation, Oliver (1-0) allowed only a single to Tony Cruz over the game's fourth and fifth frames; he fanned World Series MVP David Freese to end his outing.
Smyly, who earned his first save of the spring season, was even stingier over the game's final four innings. The 22-year-old lefty walked two but didn't give up a hit and struck out four.
Wilk allowed all three of the Cards' runs on six hits over the game's first three innings. Matt Holliday took him deep for a two-run homer in the top of the first.
Wilk (8-6, 3.24 ERA) and Oliver (8-12, 4.71) spent the bulk of last season at Triple-A Toledo, while Smyly (11-6, 2.07) split his time between Class A Advanced Lakeland and Double-A Erie.
The crowd of candidates fighting to start for the Tigers are aiming to follow Justin Verlander, Max Scherzer, Doug Fister and Rick Porcello. Jacob Turner, the organization's top prospect and a leading candidate for the gig, has been sidelined to due soreness in his throwing shoulder.

I am pleased to announce that because of the assistance we have gotten today from Albany, and in the interests of exercising the maximum caution allowable given our still precarious fiscal situation, we now believe it is possible to reduce the number of fire companies that are slated for closing. Rather than closing the previously announced eight companies, we believe a 25% reduction in the planned closings is possible. Engine 293 in Woodhaven, Queens and Squad 252 in Bushwick, Brooklyn will not be closed as previously announced.
"The response times in the area served by Engine 293 would have risen above the citywide average, something we would like to avoid. By keeping Squad 252 in Brooklyn, we are able to maintain the borough's Hazmat capabilities. As part of our redeployment plans, we will give extra Hazmat training to Engine 44 in Manhattan, thereby providing the protection for that area that the previously schedule move of Squad 252 to that Firehouse would have provided.
"Hopefully, the City's expense and tax revenue picture will brighten with an improved economy and real cost savings from our municipal unions. If either or both of these don't assist us to the extent however, necessary, we will have to revisit the issues of asset deployment in this and all other areas down the road. Unfortunately, financial realities just do not allow us to maintain all fire companies currently in existence, but we believe this plan balances fiscal necessities with our duty to protect the public."

Author Katherine Boo On Bringing An Unequal City To Readers Worldwide
The University of Illinois Springfield ONE BOOK reading program this fall put the tale of Indian slum dwellers in the hands of students, staff, faculty and community members.
Katherine Boo is the author of Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity.
"I hope that when you read a book like this, you're not seeing the people of Annawadi as some remote 'other', but that you're recognizing how much people have in common... there's so much human 'connective tissue' in this world." - Katherine Boo
Boo postponed her visit to the UIS campus due to health concerns, but she joined us on Illinois Edition from London to tell us about the residents of the Annawadi slum, with whom she's developed a deep connection since she first arrived in Mumbai six years ago:
Behind the Beautiful Forevers will be the topic of a panel discussion Monday, Oct. 7 at the Sangamon Auditorium on the Springfield campus of the University of Illinois. Click HERE for more information. The event is free and open to the public, but reserving tickets ahead is encouraged.

Detroit native David Legwand and Jordin Tootoo also scored for Nashville in its fourth straight victory.
Tomas Holmstrom, Henrik Zetterberg, and Nicklas Lidstrom scored for the Red Wings, who snapped a three-game win streak.
Nashville got its only power play of the game with 4:46 remaining in the third when goaltender Jimmy Howard was assessed a hooking penalty on Tootoo. Only 22 seconds after the penalty was called, Weber's blast from above the left faceoff circle beat a screened Howard on the glove side.
The Predators have scored a power-play goal in seven consecutive games.
Weber's wrist shot from the right point just under three minutes later bounced in front of the net and slipped by Howard for the eventual winner.
Holmstrom scored the game's first goal at 5:15 of the opening period.
With the Red Wings on a power play, White's shot from the right point deflected off two Predators before landing on the blade of Holmstrom's stick just to the left of Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne. Holmstrom had an easy tap-in for his sixth goal of the season.
Legwand drew the Predators even midway through the first when he collected his own rebound to the right of the Detroit goal and put it past a diving Howard.
Detroit regained the lead with 9:57 to go in the second on Zetterberg's power-play goal.
In the low slot, Todd Bertuzzi found Jiri Hudler in the left circle. Hudler quickly found Zetterberg on the right side, where he sent a wrist shot into a virtually open net.
Prior to Thursday night, Nashville had not allowed a power-play goal in its last five games.
Lidstrom gave Detroit a 3-1 lead with 8:30 left in the second when his slap shot from the left point beat Rinne high to the glove side.
Nashville answered with 2:38 remaining in the period on a goal by Tootoo, who converted the rebound of Kevin Klein's shot from the left side.
Tootoo has nine points in his last ten games.

I'm not one to give games high ratings for nothing, but in my mind this definitely deserved a 9 or 10. There's tons of stuff to do, it's a whole different campaign mode separate from the original RDR, and there's actually some humor in there as well. not to mention the online multiplayer mode where ...more

Although the economics of large-scale solar-energy projects for commercial or residential installations continue to be a challenge and solar-hybrid-powered boats have proved to be overly complex and expensive, many power and sailing vessels can benefit greatly from the use of solar energy to help manage their electrical power requirements. Solar panels help charge the house batteries while anchored or sitting on a mooring, reducing or eliminating the need to run the generator. Several boatbuilders now offer solar-panel packages as options or standard equipment, and owners of older boats are adding solar panels to the charging systems.
The simplest system for a small outboard-powered boat that you may have tugging on a mooring consists of connecting a removable, often flexible, solar panel directly to the boat's battery. This can help keep the battery charged to ensure that a bilge pump will function and that the engine will start after being left unattended for an extended time. These small units cost less than $100 and typically put out less than one amp during maximum sunlight, thereby not requiring an external charger/controller to prevent overcharging. They simply keep the boat's battery topped off and are not designed to provide energy to power the vessel's electrical accessories.
Permanently mounted high-output solar panels can be a significant source of power on larger vessels. Before choosing any panels or associated equipment you first need to determine exactly what you're trying to accomplish, how much of an electrical load you expect the solar system to satisfy, and whether you need to modify other components of your vessel's electrical system. There's a huge difference between providing enough energy to run a few DC fans and lights at night versus keeping a household-size, 110-volt refrigerator running through a DC-AC inverter fed by a large house battery bank.
See more images of onboard solar installation.
High-output solar panels are connected to a charger/controller to ensure the proper charge level of your house battery bank. The size of this bank, in ampere-hour (Ah) capacity, determines which appliances you can run for a certain amount of time. To determine your daily energy requirement, find the current draw of each appliance at 12-volt DC (or 24-volt DC if your boat is so equipped), estimate how long each will run during a 24-hour period and arrive at a daily amp-hour requirement. West Marine provides a handy "electrical budget worksheet" on its website.
Instead of amp-hour ratings, you can also determine your energy needs measured in watts by multiplying the voltage times the current. A 12-volt DC refrigerator compressor that draws four amps computes to 48 watts. Of course, remember to estimate how long each appliance runs per day. My 12-volt DC Frigoboat refrigerator, which draws 3.5 amps, is well insulated and runs about 20 minutes every hour, so its daily requirement is 28 Ah or 336 watts.

Solar Power? More Like Solar Super-power!: Melting Metal & Rocks With Focused Sunlight
This is a video from the BBC's Bang Goes the Theory in which the host Jem (not to be confused with his sister, Scout) visits the Solar Furnace Research Facility in Southern France and uses solar energy stolen from this spaz to set (instantaneous) fire to a wood plank, melt steel and even melt rocks. How hot does the focal point get? Try 3,500° C (6,332° F). That's hot enough to melt any earthly material and almost as hot as me on the international scale of sessiness. I'm like a 12. Supermodels are typically in the 4-6 range, and most regular people are disqualified for scoring negative. You? You're a solid 2.
Hit the jump for a worthwhile 1:45 of solar destruction.

I'll say this about the latest two Bobcats games: as bloodcurdling as they were to witness, they provided us all with perfect clarity. I had been holding out a shred of hope that the team could somehow avoid the worst record of all time, and now I no longer do. If we can't beat the Wizards at home (with no Nene) or the Cavaliers on the road (where they had just dropped two games by 35 and were without Kyrie Irving), then the Bobcats really are the NBA's Death Star, and we are headed straight for it; we're in its tractor beam, and there's no escape. I liken these past two games to the scene in Independence Day in which they talk to the aliens for the first time. After most of civilization has been destroyed, President Bill Pullman nonetheless tries to negotiate with the creatures. "Can there be a peace between us?" he asks. "No peace," is the answer. "What do you expect us to do?" he follows up. "Die," is the response. Yep, that's about where are with the Bobcats, and in a weird way, I'm thankful for the team for driving that point home.
Really, to think anything positive about this team is purely delusional. Not after the Bobcats welcomed back Cartier Martin to the NBA by watching him go for 19-and-6. The man was more open from downtown than a peep show at midnight, going 4-of-8 from distance. Meanwhile, Jordan Crawford, with his strange, hunched gait, nevertheless poured in 20 points on 7-for-12 shooting. And even if the guys on the floor haven't quit, management sure has. I imagine an Airplane-like discussion must have taken place prior to the Wizards game regarding the decision to have Corey Maggette start on the bench:
- Paul Silas: "Shouldn't we start our best player and most consistent scorer?"
- Stephen Silas: "No, that's just what they'd be expecting us to do."
Against the Cavs the following night, the results were less gruesome, but only relatively—instead of watching Saw I watched The Fly. Losing to the Cavs hurts especially because I think they have three chuckers who are still in the league strictly because their stats are padded by playing the Bobcats: Daniel Gibson, Antawn Jamison, and Anthony Parker (in fact, if I were to start a team of these guys, they'd be my PG, SF, and SG, respectively, and rounding out my starting five would be Marvin Williams at the 4 and big Johan Petro at center).
But getting back to my earlier subject, which was hopelessness, this team is a smoldering disaster that won't improve anytime soon. Diagnosing the Bobcats' problems is like diagnosing Son of Sam—where to even begin? They're last in every category on both sides of the ball. If you put a gun to my head and forced me to pick, though, I'd say they're worse on defense. ESPN's David Thorpe pretty much agreed in an article today (side note: although the title of it was "Bobcats Need Anthony Davis," he could have just as easily called it "Duh"). Unfortunately, what Thorpe failed to point out is that even if the Bobcats are fortunate enough to win the draft lottery (and by the way, if they don't win the lottery, well then just have an alien stick his tentacle up my ass and use me for a ventriloquist dummy, because I'm done), Anthony Davis would have to spawn another few arms to make an immediate impact. This is because the main problem with the defense—or, more accurately, the worst problem—is that our two tiny guards couldn't stick with their opponents if they were covered in snot. It doesn't matter if it's John Wall (12 assists) or Lester Hudson (25 points, 6 assists), the frontcourt is forced to cover for DJ Augustin and Kemba Walker on nearly every possession, and Davis (or Thomas Robinson or whomever) would just be falling into the same black hole.
Thus, one of the two guards is going to have to go before we see any real improvement—presumably Augustin, because he's older and his contract is coming up sooner than Walker's. The team will then need to find someone with at least Jason Kidd-size and Jason Kidd-strength (and preferably without Jason Kidd-history-of-punching-wife-in-the-face-in-a-dispute-over-french-fries) who can give the bigs a break. Where this mythical figure will come from? And when? I don't know. But at least I know where we stand right now. It's just too bad it's in a Sarlacc.

4/9, 13 yds, 1.4 yds/att, 0 TD, 2 Int Maybe dad should be rethinking the plan to have his son play QB in the NFL. He can still salvage the last year of his career by switching to safety next year. Too late now, but he could have been a 2 year starter if he had remained at ISU.
Do you think Phil ever thinks about his dad's decision to ship him off to Ohio? He could have been, at the very least, a starting receiver for a Big 12 team for 4 years. Instead, he wastes half a year of eligibility by quitting in 2008, then a year sitting on the pine at Ohio, and he's not even the starting QB at Ohio.
He had around 60 rushing yards, He is a running qb like we have.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
"The card was mostly perfect, however I wish it was slightly smaller than the card we put the information of the reception and hotel items on. We didn't use the space for the food selections so the card looked a little bare."
"We love how the RSVP cards turned put! We got the photo on the back in sepia to make it look more rustic. The photo was so nice you could even frame it!"
"This card is the match for the invitations I selected. I wanted to edit out the "Please Initial Each Guest's Entree Selection" since I would be serving a family style meal at our wedding instead of pre-selected plates. I worried I wouldn't be able to do this, but the artist understood my request and made them perfect for us with only the 'Accepts/Regrets' centered on the card. Came out lovely!"
"look great with our invitations, and will be sending them out as postcards rather than using the envelopes did the font and tab in Navy, which looks great!"
"This card was simply beautiful. The designer worked with me to create the perfect RSVP. We went with ____ of _____ Attending, so we could fill in how many guests were included on the invite. We took away the menu options since we are doing a buffet. We added and spot that said ______ will require shuttle transportation, so we can know how many buses to rent. The response cards came on the exact day they said it would and everything was individually wrapped. Great quality and unique design!"

FIFA 2012 is designed to make you feel the impact! A smarter physics engine - in the works for two years - sizes up collisions and delivers the most realistic outcome of every on-field challenge. You'll really feel the struggle to keep or gain control, while weaker challenges are easily overcome. New tactical defense adds strategy and patience to that part of your game, while precision dribbling gives the offense a more realistic amount of time to make a play. To make it even more realistic, AI players are more tuned-in to the strengths of the other players on the pitch and the skills of their real-life counterparts.

Achieve Better SEO Results
Today online marketing has become a very useful tool for online businesses. So, every business owner must carefully observe all the basic and non-basic tips of Search Engine Optimization. However, nowadays the sites are full of misinformation and uncertainty about SEO tactics. And before starting implementing your SEO strategies it would be commendable of you to turn to the help of high-level consultation.
One of the first SEO rules is to have a well-written unique content with the right keywords and phrases. Always refresh your content to enhance your site relevancy in the eyes of the search engine. Consider having a keyword focused title. It is preferable for your title to start with the keyword. This will ease the ranking improvement process. In order to be found in local searches mention the location in your article.
Alongside with the content consider the wide use of links. Use your keyword as a link and avoid practicing "Click here "phrase as a link. Build quality backlinks. However, note that the linking must be logical.
Don't waste your time on paying so much attention to PageRank as is not so essential. Cases are numerous when websites with a higher PR can be outranked by sites having low PR.
To reach better SEO results practice Flash and AJAX instead of Frames.
Create a blog for your website to promote your product and refresh the blog posts regularly, at least three times weekly.
When it comes to link building consider quality and not quantity. One quality link can do a lot good to you than plenty of unproductive links.
Search engines like simple and concrete language contents. Don't use too much rich language or long sentences. Keep it to the point. Don't overstuff the text with keywords. Be as descriptive and specific as you can.
In case of being on a shared server avoid being spammed or banned as this will reflect your ranking badly.
Do your search around non-profit .edu sites that look for sponsors. The thing is that there is pretty much weight on links from.edu domains.
Don't forget putting keyword captions with your images. Devote time to the choice of the images as they play great role in Google's new blended research process.
Besides YouTube consider other video sharing sites namely Metacafe, MSN, Vimeo etc. Note that for search engines it is very important that your video content includes keywords and key phrases in order to be able to define the usefulness of your video.
And remember that SEO is not a one-time process. It is changing daily and be ready to work on it every single day.

Great reminders about focusing on the important aspects of driving excellent search results, while adding some strong insights and tips. I think your last point about SEO being an ongoing process is probably another post all by itself.
This is a very interesting site.
This is a great way of ensuring that websites rank higher. I think that rankings matter a lot because if your site is ranking low then it may receive little or no viewers.
This help me to get better SEO result..
Nice post.. -
An interesting post that recall the basics.
Improve Alexa Rank??
Want high web traffic??
Want to earn 1000$ in 5 easy steps??
Go here : www.hitgrove.info/bookmarks -
PR is not everything while when people concern in SEO is because they more concern on SERP which able to bring them lot of free traffic.
.edu and .gov site backlink do provide higher weight and strong juice but is hard to build your link there unless they allow .
But if you able to show your link there, i believe you will taking big benefit from that.

Goodnight Spoon
February 21, 2013
by Shawn Bean
© Courtesy Toysrus.com
A synonym for parent is hoarder. Yes, you. You are a hoarder. You are hoarding tattered, soiled and busted bookmarks from your children's lives. There is the Little People Happy Sounds home on the shelf of your garage. You foreclosed on that rundown, non-biodegradable plastic domicile years ago, after your daughter graduated to Monster High. Yet there it is, in the garage. We'll keep it for the younger cousins to play with, you tell yourself.
And that's just one item. The bottom of the linen closet, the wooden chest in the living room, the nook next to the washing machine, all filled with collectibles from your favorite movie ever, although it's one you cannot rewind and replay.
I am not terribly sentimental about stuff. My wife Brandy and I regularly purge the old to make room for the new. (Lego Ninjago Epic Battle Dragon in, Thomas and Friends Isle of Sodor railway set out.) But last weekend, I opened a kitchen cabinet to grab a plate and something caught my eye: A baby spoon. A rubber and metal spoon resting in a pint glass alongside several other tiny utensils. We'll keep it for the younger cousins to eat with, we tell ourselves.
But that's not true. We keep them because we cannot get rid of them. That pint glass has been sitting there for years, since our youngest son used them to eat vanilla YoBaby. Today, our sons Jackson and Tanner are 8 and 6, respectively. They take their own showers, and grab the gallon of milk from the refrigerator to fill their own glasses. But the utensils remain. There's also a high chair in the garage, and burp clothes stacked in the laundry room.
I'm starting to realize it's going to be over. I know, I know, a child will always need their parents, but let's be honest: They take another step away from us each day. That makes me feel less and less father-ish. That makes me feel more and more sad.
To think there was a time when I never even considered becoming a dad. I mean, why would I have considered it? Our society doesn't present fatherhood as something to aspire to. For little girls playing with dolls and pushing pink strollers, Mom is a superhero. Little boys outsource heroism to make-believe men from Krypton and Gotham City. I've never seen a Cliff Huxtable action figure.
Now here I am, staring nostalgically at little spoons. Will we ever pack them up? Will we ever put those burp clothes to use, maybe to wipe up a spill or buff the car? Probably not. As a result, our home has become a Planet Hollywood for our kids. Oooh, look--Jackson's first Easter outfit. Take a picture of me with it!
Our babies are not like others in nature. Moments after a calf or a colt is born, it forces itself upright, balancing precariously on spindly legs. Then boom--it's off. Our babies need us and need us and need us, and then they don't. That's what makes this slow but sure separation hard to grasp. With each passing day, our kids become less cuddly, more independent. Their hugs evolve from full-body assaults to casually leaning in with a shoulder. As they grow, the spoons and burp clothes are what they leave behind, so it's what we hold close. Granted, it's easier and more efficient to hoard memories than stuff. The problem is memories fade. Non-biodegradable plastic doesn't.
Sadly, one day all the stuff will go, as will Jackson and Tanner. Goodnight spoon. Goodnight high chair. Goodnight babies everywhere.

The band has said that the album was made with joyous audience sing-alongs in mind, and Celebration inspires that and more: On your headphones, Japandroids are a fun walk to the subway; live, they're a pop-punk revelation.

The Inside Scoop on Phytosterols
By Kristin Bjornsen
Add plant sterols to the growing lexicon of nutritional buzzwords. Though they may sound like veggie-based performance-enhancing drugs, really the only thing they pump up is the health of your heart. These powerful cholesterol-lowering compounds, which science has known about since the 1950s, have only recently started showing up as ingredients in functional foods such as yogurt, cheese, cereal, oatmeal, orange juice, and granola bars. Analysts predict, though, that the US phytosterol market will nearly double by 2012.
A catchall term for naturally occurring plant components, the word "phytosterols" encompasses both sterols and a similar group of compounds called stanols. Because both sterols and stanols have structures similar to cholesterol, they literally block the receptors that absorb cholesterol from your gut into the bloodstream. More importantly, they also block the reabsorption of cholesterol from liver bile, which contains about five times more cholesterol than your diet delivers.
Research shows that adding just a few grams of phytosterols to your diet daily can drop your cholesterol 5 to 10 percent in as little as two weeks—a significant amount, especially if you have levels near 225. Even better, the sterols also lower bad LDL cholesterol. The research has been so convincing that in 2000 the FDA approved a heart healthy, "reduces risk for coronary heart disease" claim for foods containing 0.65 grams of plant sterol esters (or 1.7 grams of plant stanol esters) per serving. Good news considering that heart disease accounts for 50 percent of deaths in the industrialized world. What's more, preliminary research suggests that phytosterols may also boost the immune system, particularly in HIV patients, and promote prostate health.
There is a caveat, however: Along with blocking cholesterol, phyto- sterols can also reduce blood plasma levels of carotenoids—an important family of antioxidants—by 10 to 20 percent. Fortunately, studies have found that simply eating one more serving a day of carotenoid-rich fruits or vegetables—such as carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkins, tomatoes, apricots, spinach, or broccoli—restores plasma carotenoids to original levels.
Foods naturally rich in phytosterols include sesame seeds, peanuts, and olive oil. But because it's difficult to get enough phytosterols to lower your cholesterol through these foods alone (you need 1.3 grams plant sterol esters daily or 3.4 grams plant stanol esters daily), consider eating foods fortified with them. Simply look for the label "enriched with plant sterol" and the FDA heart-healthy claim to make sure you're getting enough for your heart to know the difference.

I am a little confused by this:
( local8now.com/home/headlines/15834547.html )
The Pentagon says it should be able to confirm within 24 hours if the tank was hit. Debris should be raining back down on Earth immediately and the Pentagon says nearly all of it will fry up on re-entry.
The missile had to be modified from its original purpose of knocking out incoming missiles. Officials estimate the mission cost around 30 million dollars
A missile is not a purpose. So a missile could not be modified from one purpose to another purpose. (But an objective could be modified from one purpose to another, since an objective is similar to a purpose). So could the marked part be wrong? For the structure "X is modified from Y", I thought that either 1) X and Y must be approximately the same type of "thing" or 2) Y must be an intrinsic property of X. In my question, a rocket and a purpose are not close to being approximately the same type of thing. Nor is a purpose an intrinsic property of a missile. Hence my confusion.
