Beating the listening bugs
Article Abstract:
Listening devices with which competitors can bug a corporate rival are very easily obtained and represent a six-million pound sterling market in the UK. The prevalence of bugging devices, the ease with which they can be installed, and the damage that they can cause due to lost secrets make communications security a top priority for firms. Communications security entails detecting listening devices, preventing bugging devices from gathering sensitive information, and making sure that information collected in those areas where counter-surveillance measures are impossible is worthless. Companies implementing communications security should employ a professional counter-surveillance team to search the firm's facilities for bugging devices, use portable scanning receivers to detect existing bugs, and use encryption systems for the transmission of sensitive information.

Examination of some microbiological and biochemical parameters and tests of product quality used in a long-term fertilization trial
Article Abstract:
Results of microbiological and biochemical tests performed on samples from fertilization experiments were analyzed to evaluate food storage parameters and analytical methods for product quality assessment. Findings suggest that the most dependable parameter is microbial infestation of the product during incubation. The results of degradation and storage tests under optimal conditions are not correlated with the chemical contents of the product. Moreover, social, psychological and environmental factors should be considered since food quality standards are based on human priorities.

Some Notes on Listening
Article Abstract:
Guidelines for effective listening are presented. Barriers to effective listening are identified. A major barrier is the tendency to prematurely judge what another person has said. Other barriers include being tired or uncomfortable, a speaker who uses technical jargon and a speaker who uses words open to a number of interpretations. Listening is a skill that can be learned and improved. The mechanisms must be practiced.
