Like to idea or not in this day and age many of us are being watched, stalked and attacked in some way -- either invading our privacy or in extreme cases kidnapping or killing us.
Frequently such things begin with a simple stake out that you need to become good at detecting to protect your privacy or life.
In addition to courses you can take through security training institututes or on-line there are some books out there that can help you master this art of surveillance countermeasures.
One of these books is published by ACM IV Security Services is called just that: Surveillance Countermeasures. And it contains such practical advice as the following excerpt from page 51:
"As the Principal) [the person being watched] leaves an area that he has assessed as a possible location for an opposition surveillance stakeout, he should observe for vehicles or individuals meeting the profile of those employing stakeout tactics. He should be familiar with vehicles that are normally in the area of the possible stakeout and be able to identify those that appear alien and do not blend with others in the area for whatever reason. The Principal should discreetly note the license numbers of any suspicious vehicles when possible."
The book is full of information like this and while some of it --even much of it might not apply to the average person it does contain invaluable life for everyone.

Work In The Dark
Get used to working in the dark! The best can navigate their side in almost total darkness.
If you are a security officer alone on a construction or other site making use of the quickly fading sunlight to accustom your eyes to seeing in the dark and then practice making much of your patrol in the dark CAN help you to do your job more efficient and safely.
I've know guards to make a habit of flashing their spotlights around just to let possible intruders know there is a guard on duty. That's fine and no doubt discourages many intruders.
But remember that if you're dealing with a person or a group determined to get into your site let's them know exactly where you are -- making it easier to either get around you -- or ambush you.
So practice "dark navigation whenever possible". Be like the old Indian fighters in the Wild West who used darkness to their advantage.
Intruders do. You should do it too. You might not use this all the time because sites and situations vary greatly but it is an invaluable security technique to perfect.
If you're not good at it now remember that it just like learning to ride a bicycle. It will get easier and easier and you won't regret having this skill.

Use The Power of Your Mind
Two interesting articles highlight how we can do this.
The first article "You are what you think" Hazel Morley, a learning and development coach from the U. K. reminds us that we are not always able to control the circumstances thrown at us in life -- but we can control our thinking in response to those circumstances. He says, " Whatever your approach to the challenges life throws at you its how you think about what happens to you, not the even or circumstances itself that makes the difference."
And there is a lot of truth in that. There are numerous cases of people who have confronted and beaten things like cancer with a positive frame of mind.
It is not always easy to to do but with practice you can do it he insists.
A good point!
The other article, " A Slew" by Stephanie Booth in the November 2011 edition of Psychology Today warns that some of us are not paranoid or skeptical enough in our relationships with others while others live in an almost total state of paranoia.
Although she does not describe it exactly this way -- some paranoia, or skepticism is healthful because there are a lot of harmful people out there as you can see from the number of people who are ripped off by skim artists or who go missing or who are murdered after meeting somebody new.
But it can be a very thin line you are walking along in life. It all depends on the circumstances you find yourself in or the context of your life.
Ton Buzan in his book Head Strong also reminds us that our mind, especially our subconscious mind does not just add one thought to another, but multiplies so it is critical what thoughts you let stay in your mind. Positive thoughts, once meditated on for a while begin to multiply until you have a whole string of positive thoughts filling hour mind -- but so do bad or negative thoughts. So according to Buzan so we need to be vigilant about what we think about.
So, if you have drifted into that constant state of paranoia where you think everybody you meet is out to get you it is time to do a reality check or seek help before you become completely mentally crippled.
Whatever your circumstances the magazine article is a very interesting read and this particular edition of the magazine also contains some interesting articles on things like procrastination, defying age well.
It wouldn't hurt to check it out.

Protect Yourself and Enjoy a Delicious Meal
The typical Canadian breakfast is often bacon and eggs. Delicious, but hard on the arteries and your heart if you indulge yourself too often.
Now, thought, there is a delicious alternative to that fatty bacon -- plantin -- the cousin the to bannanna found in many large supermarkets as well as smaller produce stores -- especially those that cater to an Asian market.
Just buy them ripe( green they are as hard as rocks and seem to take ages to ripen lying in your home cupboard. Then simply cut them in strips, cook them in a good grade olive oil and serve along with eggs, tomatoes etc. Delicious -- and also very healthful. Why not try it?

Learn Self Defense!
The latest murder in Armstrong British Columbia is a sure warning that more people should be enrolling in self-defense courses such as the ones offered at: www.multipliedforce.com
Instructors at the school connected with this site will teach you and your family the realities of street attacks and how to defend yourself against them.
Check it out. Martial arts schools are good, but they don't generally prepare you for the realities of savage attacks in the street with more emphasis, often, on competitive techniques which might not be enough to protect you or your loved ones out on the street.
There is a world of different between most competitive martial arts techniques (although some are the same or similar) and self defense techniques
Check it out and enroll in a course that are sure will help you to survive on the street. A good self defense can quickly teach you techniques to survive sudden attacks such as the one the young lady in Armstrong B.C. faced and escape to safety.
That is what you want first. You can go on to learn competitive martial arts techniques after this -- often in the same school that teaches you mixed martial arts and the self-defense course.
The organization I mentioned is just one of many. Professional security companies such as Securiguard out here in Vancouver, B.C. also offer the public self-defense courses. Some schools also offer courses on CD's an on-line to teach you --the basic theories -- of self defense.
Remember you need to practice all of this though. So find a good school.
