Two security guards touch hands as one passes a set of keys to the other.

 

With the arrival of the Covid-19 virus and social distancing so many things we took for granted are now in sharp focus. The virus will impact everything. Social behaviours will change. I don’t think people fully realise how profound this moment in time is. We don’t yet know how much it will change society.

 

Touch or haptics, from the ancient Greek word haptikos, is important for communication. We can use technology to speak to each other when thousands of miles apart, but we cannot replace touch, which is the most sophisticated of our six sense.

 

Touch is visceral, intuitive and the fastest way to communicate information because it evokes a gut reaction. It by-passes rational thought. Think of your reaction to touching a hot stove.

 

A 2009 study by Matthew Hertenstein found that participants were able to communicate eight out of 12 emotions by using touch alone. The research suggests touch may be more effective at subtly conveying emotions than verbal and facial communications.

 

From a hug to a kiss, to a pat on the back and a touch of the hand, we must now weigh up the risks of transmitting a potentially deadly virus to our colleagues, friends and loved ones.

I'm not really sure what's going on with this car... but there's a lot of things that don't make sense to me. The placement of the lights in the rear window seems odd to me. The driver appeared to be retired and had a younger adult female friend. Non-municipal license plate and strange markings. I'm thinking it's a volunteer security car? Not really sure. Thoughts anyone?

 

If you want to use this image, ask permission PRIOR to use. Don't be a thief - under most circumstances, I'm quite reasonable.

Perlyn has been a security guard for 10 years. It was her first job. She chose this profession because the schedule enabled her to take-up night classes. She eventually finished a 4-year course in criminology. She plans to take up the board next year that would qualify her to apply in the military force. Yes, she wants to be in a SWAT team. So she is presently reviewing for the board. She has a regiment to stay fit and is also into networking. She sells health products and her robust physique attests to the effectiveness of her vitamins. She says she is fond of selfies and it became apparent in her ability to strike several poses.

 

She was the guard-on-duty behind the chapel where they had religious dioramas. I asked her if I could take her picture for the project. She immediately said yes; as she explained, she loves selfies so she didn't mind having someone else take her picture.

On May 22, 2020, members of the Diplomatic Security Service Basic Special Agent Course (BSAC) Class 146 conducted Protective Security (PRS) training at Fort Pickett in Blackstone, Va., where the Foreign Affairs Security Training Center is located. PRS training is the final exercise in BSAC and simulates dignitary protection in a motorcade and on foot. During this training, the special agent candidates wore face coverings and maintained social distancing in accordance with recommended protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19.

Quick! Call security! This one's had too much to drink! LOL Unfortunately for this little kitty she was battling a cold when we cruely set her up for this shot. She has since recovered though and is stronger than ever! Maybe it was that beer?
