If you're concerned about the possibility that some business competitors ( or other persons) might be following you or some of your staff there are things you can do to detect and thwart such efforts.
One thing is to check your tail lights once in a while. If anybody wants to tail you especially at night or during the early hours they might resort to things like drilling a small hole in one (or all ) of your tail lights.
Such a small hole will create a white beacon that others can use to track your vehicle much easier -- especially at night.
In addition to this nasty little trick surveillance operatives to track your movements through GPS devices. So it would not hurt to have your vehicle or vehicles checked periodically for any signs of this on your vehicle or vehicles.
In addition to these two checks, when actually driving around stay aware of your surroundings and aware of any other vehicles that seem to be staying the same distance behind your for long periods of time for no apparent reason.
If you do notice any pull aside in a calm manner to let the other vehicle pass and get a picture of the vehicle with license number (and a picture of the driver if possible) as it passes you.

Create A Picture of That Person!
One of the best ways the average citizen can help to fight crime is to create vivid descriptions for the police; all too often they fail at this however.
I heard of one bank manager who distorted her description of the bank robber so badly that when the police finally caught the man they had a man who was the complete opposite of the bank manager's description.
Having a rifle pointed at your head can do things like that to you, but your skills at painting accurate pictures of criminals can be developed with a little practice.
Like anything else it is just like learning to ride a bicycle. The first few attempts you're pretty wobbly -- but with practice you can get better.
One of these ways to build this skills is to make it a habit to try and create a mental picture of that man or woman who just passed you on the sidewalk. How tall was he ? What was her hair style?
You won't be able to do this with everyone you meeting of course but whenever you can observe people discretely as they approach and pass (don't stare at or make eye contact with the person)
and you will get better and better at being able to recreate images of people.
This is a skill they could make you a valuable crime fighter one day.
And of course if you have artistic skills and are able to recreate this person in a sketch it would be even better.

Don't Get Too Excited About Medical Claims
No! Don't get too excited about the claims of medical scientists when they boast of their great advances in medical science and how through the unerring power of science are going create a race of people that scoffs at the idea of living a mere 100 years.
In her book Writing Well Laurie Rozakis, Ph.D. have created a pretty accurate picture medical science progress as a whole (There have of course been some individual marvelous and beneficial medical accomplishments).
Here is how she described "The Short History of Medicine":
2000 B.C. Here, eat this root.
1000 A.D. That root is heathen. Here, say this
prayer.
1850 A.D. That prayer is superstition. Here,
Drink this potion.
1940 A. D. That potion is snake oil. Here, take
this pill.
1985 A. D. This pill is ineffective. Here, take
this antibiotic.
2000 A. D. This antibiotic is artificial. Here,
take this root.
So, the best way to increase your longevity is to eat nutritious food and get plenty of exercise. Ask Dr. Oz.

A Guide to Defeating Stalkers or Surveillance Operatives
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.

According to Newport , "Between four sand 10 months after treatment began," he had his life back with many of the symptoms gone.
According to the article Dr. Richard L. Veech of the National Institutes of Health discovered that the coconut oil provides brain neurons with ketone bodies which are able to substitute for the glucose which brain neurons normally use to function but can no longer absorb properly.

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.
