Through Shuras with local tribal leaders, key leader engagement www.nato.int/isaf and extensive combined joint planning with ANSF from the outset, maximum effect has been delivered in subsequent manoeuvre operations. The success of such an approach has been amply demonstrated by Operation BAAZ TSUKA in Kandahar Province and Operation CENTAUR OQAB in the Musayi valley, to the south of Kabul. Combined with a sophisticated and thought through humanitarian assistance and follow up R&D programme these operations, in addition to all of the others occurring across ISAF, meant that OQAB is ready to move onto its second stage in many areas. This will involve maintaining pressure on insurgents throughout the winter while continuing to build on progress to date. The establishment of Provincial Coordination Centres, and associated Provincial Security Committees, throughout the country will provide the means to deliver a coordinated approach to R&D and governance to complement that now taking place in Kabul through the Policy Action Group and its sub pillars on strategic communications, R&D, operations and intelligence.

  • MYTHS About Celebratory Gunfire
    MYTHS about Celebratory Gunfire: Bullets shot upwards simply vanish into space. No, we know better now. The bullets do most definitely come back down to Earth and fall on something, -- the ground, a car, a building, or a person. Celebratory gunfire is harmless. Firing random bullets may result in death and injury. It is a potentially fatal activity, which regularly results in the deaths of bystanders. We don’t know why. But we do. Bullets fired at angles less than vertical are more dangerous, as the bullet maintains its angular ballistic trajectory, is far less likely to engage in tumbling motion, and so travels at speeds much higher than a bullet in free fall.1 Firearms expert Julian Hatcher studied falling bullets in the 1920s and his study showed that .30 calibre rounds can reach terminal velocities of 300 feet per second as they fall. Injury from random gunfire isn’t really serious. More recent research has indicated that 200 feet per second is enough to penetrate the skull. Examples of fatalities due to celebratory gunfire abound. A study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 80% of celebratory gunfire-related injuries are to the head, feet, and shoulders.[4] 2 Injury from celebratory gunfire is rare. For those hit by falling bullets, the chance of the wound being fatal was far higher than a typical shooting. The hospital put deaths from regular shootings between 2% and 6%, while for those struck by falling bullets the death rate was close to one third. The reason is simple – those unlucky enough to be hit by falling shells were more likely to be struck on the head, and while the bullets were travelling slower after being shot into the sky, they were still capable of smashing skulls3.

    GUN ACCIDENT JOURNAL X (61 days) June 1, 2021 to July 31, 2021 TUESDAY, JUNE 1, 2021 A nine-year old Canton, Mississippi child is in stable condition at the hospital after his two-year old sister found a loaded gun in the family truck and shot him in the head. Police say that the children’s parents had gone inside a home and had left the children in their truck unattended. The Canton police chief said “[t]hrough our investigation, what we have found out so far is the daddy of the kids and mother just stopped here at the daddy’s mother’s house to go inside and visit for a minute, for a short period of time. And the kids were left in the truck and playing around and found the handgun.” Child protective services were called to the home. According to the report, the children’s parents are likely to face negligence charges.

The present paper scrutinizes the lockdown measures and, particularly, examines the optimality of the lockdown fines imposed by countries worldwide towards ensuring citizens’ compliance. Initially, a triad of fine stringency indicators are compiled, and the stringency of fines is evaluated in a comparative context, among the countries considered. Consequently, the fine stringency is incorporated into a regression analysis with various epidemiological, socioeconomic, and policy factors to reveal any drivers of fine variability. Finally, theoretical approaches behind fine optimality are capitalized and real data are used towards estimating the optimal fine for each country considered. The objectives of the paper are, first, to check for any drivers of fine stringency around the world and, second, to develop and test a formula that could be used in order to assist policy makers to formulate evidence-based fines for confronting the pandemic.
