Article: The ideal color is medium brown, but some variation can be found among healthy people.  Green or yellow stool is usually caused by your bowels moving too fast, as with mild diarrhea. Bile, the main pigment in poop, starts out green and turns brown over time. Pale gray or yellow feces may indicate liver disease. Take note of any stool that is red or pitch black in color.<Dale Prokupek, MD. Gastroenterologist. Personal interview. 16 April 2020.</ref>   Bright red indicates bleeding late in the digestive tract, likely the large intestine or anus. This type of bleeding typically indicates non-serious health issues, such as minor inflammation or hemorrhoids. It can also rarely be a sign of cancer. Talk to your doctor if it happens multiple times or if your bowel movements become painful. Bleeding higher up in the digestive system, such as from the stomach or small intestine, produces feces that are extremely dark red or black in color. It will also have a sticky, tar-like consistency. If you pass this type of stool, talk to your doctor. It could be a sign of a variety of serious problems ranging from peptic ulcers to bowel cancer.  Eating beets can also stain your poop red. However, beet red is fairly easy to distinguish from blood red. If the red has a magenta or fuchsia tinge, it is almost certainly from beets or food coloring, not blood. Almost all transient causes of changes to stool color can be traced back to food coloring. Even if you don't remember eating a food with a particular color, dyes may be hidden or masked by other colors more easily broken down. Food coloring may also interact with other pigments in the digestive tract to produce unexpected results.

Figure out your stool's baseline color. Look for signs of blood. Try not to be alarmed by other odd colors unless they persist.
Article: If bodyguards are beyond your budget but you still need some protection, a guard dog can provide you with basic needs. Look for specially-trained guard dog agencies in your area. German shepherds are especially known for their guard dog services due to their powerful jaws. Your state or country may have specific requirements for issuing personal security requirements. Check your location's licensing requirements and make sure you vet candidates for this license. Clients without a license may lack training skills or have illegal reasons for not regulating their services with the country. Separate from government-issued licensing, choose an executive guard certified with professional training centers. Many states or countries have protection services institutes or training groups that offer certifications to bodyguards. The certifications you'll want your bodyguard to have will vary depending on your personal needs. You might want a bodyguard certified with the U.S. Navy if you'll be traveling overseas, for example, or a bodyguard with forensic certification if your situation involves criminal activity. Most locations have official organizations to provide support and networking for bodyguards. These organizations often have requirements that bodyguards must meet before they qualify as members. If there are no bodyguard organizations in your area, ask whether your candidate is affiliated with any military veteran organizations. The largest bodyguarding organization is the International Bodyguard Association (IBA). Before you settle on a bodyguard, research their criminal history to make sure you're choosing a reliable and safe candidate. Although you can look up criminal records online, pay for a background check to make sure your candidate has been thoroughly searched.

Opt for a guard dog as a cheaper alternative. Research bodyguard licensing requirements in your country. Look for bodyguards with professionally-issued certifications. Ask bodyguards if they are affiliated with any official organizations. Conduct a background check on your chosen candidate.
