Pulitzer Prize-winning Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens's new book, America in Retreat: The New Isolationism and the Coming Global Disorder, presents the dangers of an isolationist foreign policy and prescribes a solution for bringing America back to the forefront of the international community.
Speaking to Breitbart News, Stephens expands on his notions of decline and retreat, why America should be the world's policeman and not its priest, and how a robust foreign policy benefits Main Street America.
In your book, you note that there are two strains of thought in American foreign policy that call for limiting defense spending and international influence– one on the left and one on the right. Do you see the civil libertarian wing of the Republican Party as an equal, lesser, or greater threat to our national security than similarly-minded Democrats?
I don't know, that's hard to say. Error of opinion should be combated wherever it is found. I think that it is worrisome that the party that has most consistently stood on the right side of all great national security issues of our day, going back many decades, now finds itself infected with the same kind of "come home, America" mentality that has typified the McGovernite Left for more than 40 years.
What I hope Republicans take away from my book is that the call for reducing our commitments overseas for the sake of shrinking the size of government is a siren call. Any conservative should know that the countries that have the smallest militaries in the West are also the countries that have the biggest debts. Look at Europe; look at Japan. And that is because money that is supposed to be saved by cutting the defense budget never goes back to the taxpayers, it never goes to the productive side of the economy. It goes to further funding of the welfare state. So conservatives who foolishly think we can scrimp and save on defense in order to reduce our deficit are telling themselves a fable. Not to mention all the dangers of minimizing or reducing America's strategic footprint at just the moment when Russia is on the march, ISIS is on the march, China is approaching on the South China Sea, and Iran is on the cusp of nuclear capability.
Do you predict that we will see more of this "McGovernite" attitude among Republican contenders in 2016?
Well, hopefully my book will have some effect by persuading some leading Republican contenders for the nomination that the Rand Paul recipe for foreign policy is crazy, at least as I've previously heard Paul define it. I shouldn't say crazy–really misguided. And I want conservative readers–and this book is really written largely with conservative readers in mind–to understand that it is wrong to suggest that foreign policy and domestic policy are in a zero-sum game. That what we invest in our security or invest in our alliances is somehow taken away from Main Street America. Main Street America walks around with Samsung phones in their pockets, built in a country that we've defended for the past 60 years that went from being one of the most backwards countries in the world to being one of our greatest trading partners. That's part of American prosperity, so we have to understand that we will never be prosperous at home unless we are also secure and also securing friends from Estonia to Israel to Taiwan.
Are there places in the world where we should be establishing more of a presence, perhaps unlikely contenders for American military aid outside of the nations already heavily associated with U.S. presence?
We need to be careful about where our priorities lie, not only strategically, but geographically. We need to be particularly mindful of helping the defense of those countries that stand on the border of the free and the unfree world. That's Estonia–between the European Union and Russia. That's Ukraine. That's South Korea. That's Israel. So the idea of the pivot, which was such a big deal in the Obama administration, is fundamentally misguided, because our strategy cannot just be based on geography, it also has to be based on political realities.
For Republicans who may want to agree with you but see Republican intervention abroad in the last decade or so as problematic, what can they learn from the mistakes of the Bush administration in Iraq and what actions that weren't mistakes can they use as guidance?
We've had many misadventures in the past decade in the Middle East, but one of the points that I try to make in the book is to explain what was right about the Iraq war and what was wrong about it. And if I had to sum it up in a couple of sentences, it would be this: we went into Iraq to make an example of Saddam Hussein, and that was the right thing to do. We stayed in Iraq to try to make Iraq exemplary as an Arab democracy, and that was the wrong thing to do.
Making examples for the sake of enforcing global norms, liberal order, and punishing evil violators of that order–that's the right way to connect with foreign policy, as a policeman. But attempting to heal crippled societies as if we were the world's priest or doctor, changing hearts and saving souls, that's the wrong foreign policy. It's wrong not just because of the cultural realities of the Middle East itself and the absence of traditional liberal democratic values, it's also wrong for the political realities of the United States, which are not interested in ten-year-long wars.
Can you elaborate on the difference between "decline," and "retreat," and how American can be in retreat without being in decline?
I really do not believe for one second that America is in decline, although I do notice that a lot of people like to say that it is in decline because they favor a policy of retreat. The difference between decline and retreat, I would say, is this: decline is a product of broad cultural and even civilizational forces that are beyond the reach of ordinary politics. For example: How would a Russian leader, even Putin with all his power, get Russians to have more babies? Very hard to do. Russia has this massive demographic problem because Russian couples aren't having children.
How do you get the Japanese to accept that, given their demographic realities, they have to start taking in many more immigrants, bringing into question the whole concept, ethnically, of "Japanese-ness"?
So these are countries that are in decline on account of these large, supra-political forces. On the other hand, retreat is just a policy choice. Retreat is what happens when you get Barack Obama in office talking about nation-building at home and acting defensively, or indifferently, or reactively to foreign policy crises. Its' a choice that he made, and it's a choice that we can undo. American retreat is about choices that were made and what we can do about them.
If there is no decline, what is the appeal of a policy of retreat?
There are always signs of decline. Adam Smith famously said "there's a lot of ruin in the nation." The question is whether you look at those pieces of ruin and you think it's a sign of decline, or you think it's a sign of rebuilding, or a reality of everyday life. Look back on what was being said in the 1950s about the state of American education and how we were falling behind the Russians and how we weren't teaching Johnny and Jane to compete when it came to math skills and all the rest of it. Now I think most of us would look back at the high schools of the 1950s and say they were a golden era in terms of the quality of public education.
So there is always this idea that you are in decline. The question is: are you really in decline, or are you just looking at everyday evidence of something that isn't meeting your expectations and calling it a sign of decline? So Americans looked at what happened in Iraq–by historical standards, a relatively small, if very long, war–and said "well, you see, we can't win wars anymore."
And they looked at the recession of 2008, which by historical standards is actually not the deepest recession, and they said "we're never going to be able to get back to high levels of growth and real, full employment." So they took these pieces and treated them as proof positive of a proposition that the country is in decline, so we therefore have to scale back our military commitments.
I don't see a recession or an inconclusive and difficult war as sending the country with the largest economy on earth into decline. When you think about Britain, Britain lost a quarter of its national wealth fighting the Second World War, and this was just twenty years after it also lost much of its wealth and many of its citizens fighting the First World War. It takes a heck of a lot to send a country into decline.
Many of us probably have moments of hypochondria where we think some pimple is cancer. That doesn't mean it's cancer. And we run the risk of misdiagnosing the state of the nation, and as a result prescribing the wrong medicine, and having the wrong medicine do us more damage that what had been ailing us at the start.

Population (2010)
Hager City may not look like much (it isn't), but it has a place that you must visit, especially if you like authentic Jamaican food.
Arriving in Town
County Highways VV and K are the main routes in town.
Visitor Information
Contact Pierce County Partners in Tourism (715.273.5864).
Hager City had the distinction of getting the first post office in the township but apparently not much else worth writing down. When the railroad came through in 1886, the village was platted as Hager Chatfield, but the following year the Postmaster General suggested that Hager City would be a better name. That's all I have.
The rock formation called Bow and Arrow, on a hillside visible from the River Road, is quite a mystery. This petroform was first noticed in 1902 by archaeologist Jacob Brower who thought the rocks were arranged in a shape that resembled a bow and arrow pointing toward Lake Pepin. Others have suggested that the shape is more likely a bird effigy, but no one really knows what it was meant to be or when it was made, although all agree it has been there a long time.
Eating and Drinking
The Harbor Bar (N673 825th St.; 715.792.2417) is party central, especially on the weekends, with live music, boaters coming and going, and the grill pumping out the best damn jerk chicken this side of Kingston. The standard menu includes Jamaica-inspired entrées like steam roast red snapper or you can opt for a salad or sandwich. Unless you're a party animal, you may have a better experience going earlier in the evening rather than later.
Hager City is included in these products:
Most of the sites at the Island Campground & Marina (N650 825th St.; 715.222.1808; open May 1–Nov 1; WiFi) are strung along a single road on—you guessed it—an island just across from Red Wing with a good view of Barn Bluff. The sites are shaded, with many right on the main channel of the river; no credit cards. NOTE: This campground can't accommodate tents until construction of the new bridge is finished, and all other campers have a minimum one month stay.

Mandeville gets proactive with playing equipment
Angelo Laurence, Gleaner Writer
MANDEVILLE, Manchester:
Playing field equipment at schools in Mandeville have been coming under heavy scrutiny by school personnel as well as councillor for the Mandeville division, Sally Porteous.
This comes following the death of a student of Sts Peter and Paul Preparatory School in St Andrew on March 17, as well as that of a seven-year-old Westmoreland student in January.
Both died as a result of goal posts falling on them.
Wake-up call
Porteous told The Gleaner that she has started visiting schools in the Mandeville division to ensure that playing field equipment are properly secured and are being utilised in a safe and supervised manner. Porteous said the recent tragic incidents should be a wake-up call to parents, teachers, coaches and administrators, which "should not be ignored".
She said a regime of rigorous inspection of every piece of equipment used by students in schools should be put in place and enforced so that nothing of the sort ever happens again.
Principal of Manchester High School Jasford Gabriel told The Gleaner that safety on the school compound was always a top priority. He said that in light of the recent events, his administration has stepped up inspection and supervision of playing-field equipment at the school. Gabriel said that goal posts which are anchored in the ground, will be dismantled and re-configured so they can be stored when not in use.
At Belair High School on deCarteret Road, all equipment on the playing field have been independently inspected and cleared, said Teyna Bennett, the school's operations manager. Similar steps have been taken by principal of the Mandeville Primary and Junior High School, Byron Farquharson.

This article explains how one can go about obtaining venture capital from the government, specifically from SBICs, which are Small Business Investment Companies. These supply equity capital and long-term management assistance to startup companies and small businesses. One caveat, however: reaching out to SBICs tends to involve giving up some share and control in a small business.
Applicability to Business
- SBICs are tailored to assist small businesses
- SBICs can help with financing
Learning Outcomes
- Identify a SBIC local to your business
- Determine what resources an SBIC can provide to a small business

Bills punt returner Roscoe Parrish just went 63 yards, through a number of Seahawks cover guys to score on an elecrtric return and give the Bills a 14-0 lead.
Logan Payne missed the initial tackle, then Parrish dashed to the right, cut across ot the middle of the field, broke a tackle by John Carlson, kept going and ended up tin the end zone.
Seattle needs to get something going offensively. So far it has been unable to establish anything. Matt Hasselbeck has had a few passes dropped, but he has been off all afternoon.

how to use an equation to calculate average speed
how to draw and interpret distance-time graphs
how different speeds affect the distance travelled or time taken
distance = average speed x time
distance = x t
u + v
This part of the equation represents average speed. u is the initial velocity, and v is the final velocity. You might need to use this to calculate u or v.
If the speed of an object increases, it will either:
travel a longer distance in the same time
travel the same distance in a shorter time
constant speed
not moving

1. A toy train takes 20 seconds to travel around a 4 metre long track. Calculate its average speed. [2]
2. Calculate the average speed of an athlete who runs 5km in 20 minutes. [2]
3. Calculate how far a car travels in 30 seconds if it has an average speed of 15 m/s. [2]
4. A car accelerates from 15 m/s to 25 m/s in 10 seconds. Calculate how far it travels in this time. [3]
5. A train sets off from a station and accelerates for 20 seconds, travelling 0.5 km. Calculate its final speed. [2]
6. The driver of a car sees a speed camera ahead and realises he is driving too fast so applies the brakes. The car was travelling at 27 m/s and was 60m from the camera when the driver applied the brakes, taking 3 seconds to reach it. The speed limit is 30 mph (13.5 m/s). Calculate the car's speed when it passes the camera, and state whether or not the driver receives a speeding ticket. [3]

If two objects are travelling parallel to each other in the same direction, their relative velocity is the difference between the two speeds.
relative velocity = 10 m/s - 6 m/s =

factors which affect thinking and braking distance
how different forces can cause a car to slow down
what is meant by thinking, braking and stopping distance
how braking forces are linked to energy transfers
force = mass x acceleration
This equation can be used to explain why the
force applied by a car's brakes
and the
frictional force between the tyres and the road
cause the car to
When a car needs to slow down, the brakes apply a frictional force to the wheels of the car. This converts the car's kinetic energy into heat energy, slowing the car down. There is also another frictional force between the tyres and the road which helps to slow the car down.
braking forces
more force = more acceleration (car slows down faster)
more mass = less acceleration (car takes longer to slow down)
work done = force x distance
This equation can be used to calculate
braking distances
. Work done means energy transferred, in this case the kinetic energy of the car is transferred into heat energy by the brakes.
work done
= the car's
kinetic energy
= the frictional
force applied by the brakes/tyres
braking distance
v = 10 m/s
v = 6 m/s
v = 10 m/s
stopping distances
A car's overall stopping distance is made up of two components; thinking distance and braking distance
stopping distance = thinking distance + braking distance
Thinking distance is related to a driver's
reaction time
. It is the distance the car travels while the driver is reacting to a situation.
thinking distance = speed x reaction time
Factors which can
thinking distance include:
greater speed
If the car is moving faster, it will travel further during the driver's reaction time
Distractions (e.g. loud music, children, mobile phone) can increase a driver's reaction time, which will increase thinking distance
Alcohol or drugs can increase a driver's reaction time, which increases thinking distance
If a driver is tired, their reaction time will be longer, which will increase the thinking distance
Braking distance is related to the frictional
force applied
by the brakes and the tyres, and also depends on the car's
kinetic energy
braking distance = kinetic energy / force applied
Factors which can
braking distance include:
greater speed
If the car is moving faster, it will have more kinetic energy for the brakes to convert to heat, increasing the braking distance
worn brakes
If the cars brakes are worn out then they will not be able to apply as much force, meaning the braking distance will be longer
worn Tyres
If the car's tyres are worn out, they do not have as much frictional force with the road, increasing the braking distance
slippery road
Wet, icy or oily road surfaces will mean there is less frictional force, so the braking distance will increase
thinking distance and speed
If the speed doubles, thinking distance also doubles.
Thinking distance is proportional to speed, so a graph of speed and thinking distance will also be proportional, i.e. a straight line.
braking distance and speed
If the speed doubles, braking distance
Braking distance depends on kinetic energy, so is proportional to
speed squared
. This gives a curved graph where the gradient increases.
1. State and explain three factors, other than a higher speed, which could increase:
(a) thinking distance [3]
(b) braking distance [3]
2. A car is driving at 20 mph when the driver sees an animal run out into the road. The driver reacts to this and applies the brakes, coming to a stop after a thinking distance of 4 metres and a braking distance of 6 metres. The driver then increases their speed to 40 mph.
Describe and explain the effect that this increased speed will have on:
(a) the driver's thinking distance [3]
(b) the car's braking distance [3]
3. Describe the energy transfer which takes place when a car applies the brakes and comes to a stop. [1]
4. Describe three measures a driver could take to reduce their overall stopping distance. [3]
5. Calculate the braking force that would be required to decelerate a car with a mass of 1800 kg at a rate of 5 m/s . [2]
6. A car and driver have a total mass of 1250 kg and brakes which apply an average braking force of 5 kN.
(a) Calculate the deceleration of the car when the brakes are applied [2]
(b) Calculate the deceleration of the car if it is carrying 3 additional passengers, with a total mass of 200 kg [2]
(c) The brakes of the car wear out, and can only provide a braking force of 4 kN. Calculate the deceleration of the car with the driver and 3 additional passengers [2]
7. Under braking, a car's brakes apply a force of 2000 N over a distance of 50 metres. Calculate the work done by the brakes. [2]
8. A car has a mass of 1500 kg, and its brakes apply an average braking force of 3000 N over a distance of 60 metres.
(a) Calculate the change in kinetic energy of the car [2]
(b) The car comes to a stop. Calculate the initial speed of the car. [2]
1. (a)
thinking distance
- examples which increase a driver's reaction time, e.g. distractions (specific examples e.g. loud music, children, mobile phone), alcohol/drugs, tiredness
braking distance
- examples which reduce the force applied by
the brakes, e.g. wet/icy road, worn tyres, worn brakes
2. (a) Increasing the car's speed will increase the driver's thinking distance. The driver's thinking distance will be
to 8 metres, because thinking distance is proportional to speed.
(b) Increasing the car's kinetic energy will increase the braking distance. The car's braking distance will be
to 24 metres, because braking distance is proportional to speed squared.
3. Kinetic energy is converted into heat energy (+ sound energy)
4. A driver could:
Fit better brakes
Fit new tyres
Driver slower

energy types
Energy is a property of objects, just like mass. The entire universe is made from things which have mass, energy or both. Objects can have different types of energy. There are eight main types of energy:
gravitational potential
elastic potential
chemical potential
The energy that moving objects have
Another word for
energy. Represents molecular kinetic energy.
Objects can release energy as light (electromagnetic radiation)
Sound is movement of air molecules, so is a type of kinetic energy
An object has GPE if it is raised to a height in a gravitational field
The type of energy that is stored in a stretched spring, for example
Stored energy that is found in fuels and food
Energy carried by electric charges moving around a circuit
energy transfers
principle of energy conservation
says that energy cannot be created or destroyed, it can only be
from one form to another. If an object gains a type of energy, there must be some kind of energy input. If an object "loses" energy, it must be transferred into another kind of energy.
A lightbulb converts

roller coasters
Traditional roller coasters make use of energy transfers to propel the ride around the track. Gravitational potential energy at the top of a hill is converted to kinetic energy as the ride travels down the track. Some energy is also converted into heat and sound energy. Kinetic energy is then converted back to gravitational potential energy as it travels up the next hill.

car fuels
fossil fuels
Fossil fuels include coal, oil and natural gas, which are all extracted from underground. Most cars use petrol or diesel, which is refined from crude oil. The fuel contains chemical potential energy, which is burned, transferring the energy into heat. The car's engine then transfers the heat into kinetic energy.
Technology and infrastructure (i.e. petrol stations etc) are already established and widely available.
Non-renewable (i.e. will run out)
Burning fuel releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere
Biofuels are produced using organic matter. Common biofuels include vegetable oil and ethanol, which is produced by the fermentation of sugar plants. Methane, produced by decaying matter, can also be used as a biofuel. Biofuels are used in car engines in the same way that fossil fuels are.
The carbon dioxide that they release was originally removed from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, so less
carbon dioxide is created.
Biofuels use crops that grow quickly, so are
Land is needed to produce biofuels, which would have otherwise been used for food production. This could potentially lower food production, increasing food prices.
Carbon dioxide still produced during car production.
Electric cars use motors powered by rechargeable batteries. The batteries must be recharged by plugging the car into a mains power supply.
No carbon dioxide emissions produced by the car.
Can lead to a reduction in use of fossil fuels, dependent on energy sources used to produce electricity.
Carbon dioxide still released in the production of electricity.
Current electric cars have a limited range, and long recharging times.
Still relies partially on the use of fossil fuels, which are non-renewable.
Solar powered cars work like electric cars, but use solar panels to recharge batteries.
No carbon dioxide emissions produced by the car.
Uses no fossil fuels at all.
Current solar powered cars are expensive, and have limited performance and range.
Will not generate sufficient power if there is not enough sunlight.
hybrid cars
Hybrid cars have two motors, a fuel-burning fossil fuel or biofuel engine and an electric motor. The fuel-burning engine is used to recharge the batteries used by the electric motor, so the car does not need to be plugged in.
Uses less fuel than most normal petrol engines, meaning better fuel economy.
Less fuel use results in lower carbon dioxide emissions.
Still produces carbon dioxide emissions.
Still relies on the use of fossil fuels.

10. A customer would like to purchase an environmentally friendly car to replace their petrol engined one, and finds that there are three different options available. The first is an electric car, the second is a hybrid electric, and the third uses biofuels. Evaluate the three options, and make a recommendation to the customer, justifying your choice of engine. [6]
1. (a) Chemical energy (in the person's cells) transferred to kinetic energy (and
some heat). Kinetic energy (KE) is then transferred into gravitational potential energy (GPE).
(b) KE is transferred from the person to the ball. KE is transferred into GPE. GPE is then transferred back to KE as the ball falls.
(c) GPE is converted into KE (and some sound and heat due to friction). To come to a stop, KE is converted into sound and heat.
(d) GPE is transferred into KE as the jumper falls. GPE and KE are then both transferred into elastic potential energy (as the bungee cord stretches). Elastic potential energy is then transferred back into KE and GPE (as the cord springs back). Finally, KE is converted to GPE (as the jumper continues upwards).
2. Some energy is transferred to the surroundings (as heat and sound), so the roller coaster would not have enough energy to reach a hill which was the same height as the first.
3. (a) Their weight is acting downwards.
(b) Terminal speed is a maximum, constant speed, that is reached when the downward force (weight) is equal to the upward force (drag).
(c) GPE is transferred to the surroundings as kinetic energy of the air molecules.
(d) The drag force created by the parachute is greater than than downward force (weight).
4. KE = 1/2 mv = 1/2 x 1200 x 10
= 600 x 100 =
5. GPE = mgh = 5 x 10 x 6
6. (a) GPE = mgh = 200 x 10 x 15
(b) energy required = change in GPE
GPE = 800 x 10 x 30 =
(c) Some energy will be transferred to the surroundings (as heat and sound), so more energy will be required to produce the required increase in GPE.
7. (a) KE = change in GPE
KE = mgh = 4000 x 10 x 50
(b) Some energy will be transferred to the surroundings (as heat and sound)
(c) KE = 1/2 mv = 1/2 x 4000 x v
2 000 000 = 2000 x v
v = 2 000 000 / 2000 = 1000
v = sqrt(1000) =
32 m/s
8. Greater mass (e.g. more passengers, carrying luggage) / higher speed / high acceleration / stop-start journey (e.g. encountering traffic, traffic lights) / driving uphill / poor road conditions
9. A car with a 50 litre fuel tank has an average fuel economy of 16 km/l.
(a) range = 50 x 16 =
800 km
(b) Fuel economy is an
value, so actual value could exceed this, for example if the driver drives slowly / not much mass in car / driving at a constant speed etc

how to calculate the weight of an object
how to calculate work done and power
what is meant by 'work done' and 'power'
power =
work done
how gravity and drag affect objects
A force is an interaction between two objects. Unbalanced forces cause things to accelerate.
force = mass x acceleration
All forces are measured in
Newtons (N)
Weight is the downward force on objects due to gravity
weight = mass x g
g = gravitational field strength = 10 N/kg
The gravitational field strength, g (also known as the acceleration due to gravity), is the same for all objects at a given point on the Earth. Its value gets smaller further from the Earth's surface.
Drag is a frictional force which opposes the direction of motion of an object. This can reduce its acceleration or cause it to accelerate the other way (slow down).
The amount of drag depends on:
surface area
work done
If a force causes an energy transfer, then work is being done by that force. The amount of work done is equal to the amount of energy transferred.
work done = force x distance
Power is a measure of the rate at which work is done. The power of an object tells you how much energy it transfers per second.
units: Joules (J)
units: Watts (W)
units: Newtons (N)
speed = m/s
distance = m
time = s
1. An object on Earth has a mass of 20 kg. The gravitational field strength on the Moon is 1.6 N/kg. Calculate the weight of the object:
(a) on the Earth [2]
(b) on the Moon [2]
2. A person pushes a car with a force of 200 N. Calculate the work done when the car is pushed 100 m. [2]
3. A small lizard, with a mass of 200 g, climbs up a 5 m wall in 20 seconds.
(a) Calculate the weight of the lizard [2]
(b) Calculate the work done by the lizard climbing up the wall [2]
(c) Calculate the power of the lizard [2]
4. Calculate the power of a 60 kg hiker who carries a 10 kg backpack up a 400 m high hill in 30 minutes. [4]
1. (a) weight = mass x g
= 20 x 10 =
b) weight = mass x g
= 20 x 1.6 =
2. work done = force x distance
= 200 x 100 =
3. (a) weight = mass x g
= 0.2 x 10 =
(b) work done = force x distance
= 2 x 5 =
(c) power = work done / time
= 10 / 20 =
4. weight = mass x g
= 70 x 10 = 700 N
work done = force x distance
= 700 x 400 = 280 000 J
power = work done / time
= 280 000 / 1800 =

how the force on an object when stopping is linked to change in momentum and collision/stopping time
1. Calculate the momentum of a train which has a mass of 20 000 kg and is travelling at 25 m/s. [2]
2. A car is driving at 20 m/s when it applies its brakes and comes to a stop in 4 seconds. The car has a mass of 1500 kg, and the driver has a mass of 60 kg.
(a) Calculate the driver's change in momentum [2]
(b) Calculate the force on the driver [2]
(c) Calculate the overall braking force [2]
3. The owner of a racetrack decides to place several layers of rubber tyres in front of the rigid crash barriers around the circuits. Explain why this could help to reduce injuries to drivers if they were to crash into the barriers. [3]
4. Explain the advantages of ABS (Anti-lock Braking System) brakes. [3]
examples of safety features which are designed to reduce collision or stopping forces
how to calculate the momentum of an object
reducing forces
car safety features
Momentum is a quantity which represents the motion of an object, and is the product of its mass and velocity.
momentum = mass x velocity
kg m/s
change in momentum
If a force is applied to an object, its momentum will change. The size of the force required to change an object's momentum depends on how long that force is applied for.
force =
change in momentum
The shorter the time for a given change in momentum, the bigger the force
time taken
When an object slows down (i.e. changes its momentum), it will experience a force. The size of this force depends on how long the change in momentum takes. This is shown by the formula on the right.
force =
change in momentum
time taken
If you want to
reduce the force
on an object when it changes its momentum and comes to a stop, then the
stopping/collision time must be as long as possible
examples of things which increase stopping/collision time:
crumple zones
longer braking distance
escape lanes
crash barriers
air bags
padded restraints
crash mats
Area at the front of a car which is designed to 'crumple' to absorb energy in a crash
Air-filled bags which deploy from the steering wheel/dashboard in the event of a crash
As well as holding the driver in their seat, they stretch in the event of a sudden stop
The distance over which a car comes to a stop after the brakes have been applied
Soft padding on, for example, roller coaster harnesses
Around race tracks, crash barriers are often made from rows of rubber tyres
Large sandpits on steep downhill roads for large vehicles to turn into if their brakes fail
Used by climbers and gymnasts to soften landing impacts from large falls
All of these features do the following:
increase collision / stopping time
increase collision / stopping distance
reduce acceleration (deceleration)
reduce force
If you are asked about any of these features, or any other feature which softens an impact, these are the points you need to make. Use whichever word - collision/stopping - is most appropriate.
Cars have many safety features which are designed to protect the driver in the event of a crash, or prevent an accident from occurring in the first place.
active safety features
passive safety features
crumple zones, air bags & seat belts
These features are designed to reduce collision forces on a driver if they are in a crash. They do this by increasing the collision time.
safety features are specifically designed to reduce injury or prevent accidents
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System)
If a car's wheel 'lock up' during braking, the driver can lose control of the car. ABS brakes prevent the wheels from locking up during hard braking by automatically pumping the brakes on and off. The benefits of ABS brakes, compared to normal brakes, are:
Car does not skid
The driver can continue to steer the car during braking
Can sometimes reduce braking distances
safety features are convenience features in a car which can make driving safer by assisting the driver. Many of these features allow the driver to
keep both hands on the wheel
as much as possible, or to
keep their eyes on the road
, rather than looking at things in the car. Other features keep the driver as
as possible while driving.
examples of passive safety features:
electric windows
cruise control
SATNAV voice commands
bluetooth/handsfree phone
steering wheel controls
adjustable seating
power steering
sun visor
5. A car crashes into a stationary vehicle while travelling at 25 m/s. The driver, who has a mass of 60 kg, was wearing his seatbelt and has an airbag which bring him to a stop in 0.25 seconds. The front passenger, who also has a mass of 60kg, was not wearing a seatbelt and has no airbag on the passenger side. The passenger hits the windscreen and comes to a stop in 0.02 seconds.
(a) Calculate the change in momentum of the driver and passenger [2]
(b) Calculate the force on both the driver and passenger [3]
(c) Use your answer to (b) to comment on the effectiveness of seat belts and air bags during a collision [1]
(d) Explain how seat belts and airbags are able to affect the collision force on the occupant of a car during a collision [3]
1. momentum = mass x velocity
= 20 000 x 25 =
500 000 kg m/s
2. (a) change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum
final momentum = 0, so change in momentum = initial momentum
initial momentum = 60 x 20 =
1200 kg m/s
(b) force = change in momentum / time
= 1200 / 4 =
(c) force = change in momentum / time
= (1560 x 20) / 4 =
3. The tyres increase collision time and distance, which reduces acceleration, reducing the force on a driver.
4. ABS brakes prevent the wheels of a car from locking up under braking, which allows the driver to keep control of the car and prevents skidding. It can also reduce braking distances in some situations.
5. (a) initial momentum = mass x velocity
= 60 x 25 =
1500 kg m/s
final momentum = 0 so change in momentum = initial momentum
(b) force on driver = change in momentum / time
force on passenger = change in momentum / time
(c) Seat belts and airbags reduce the forces on a car's occupant. The force on the passenger is 12.5x bigger than on the driver.
(d) Seat belts and airbags increase the collision time and distance, which reduces acceleration, lowering the force on an occupant.

Plans by the City of Annapolis to close upper Main Street at 5:30 p.m. on New Year's Eve have been altered.
Earlier plans had the upper section of Main Street closed to accommodate the expected crowds attending the "First Night" events.
The Annapolis Police Department has announced the following changes:
* The police will be prepared to close Main Street any time after 5:30 p.m. as the situation requires. It will remain open as long as, in the judgment of police officers at the scene, pedestrians are not endangered by vehicles on the street.
* Should the situation call for closure, vehicles will be allowed access to the Gorman Street entrance to the Hillman Parking Garage off Main Street. Francis Street will be open to vehicular traffic as well.
* In order to prepare for the possible closing of upper Main Street, parking will not be allowed above the restricted area beginning at 5:30 p.m.

Book Review – A Dog's Journey
CJ would be unhappy and Gloria would be unhappy. I didn't understand because there seemed to be so much to be happy about, like bacon, or the days when just the two of us would lie in the backyard, CJ's fingers lightly touching my fur.
This is one of the very very VERY few times where I feel confident in saying that the sequel was better than the first book.
A Dog's Journey is the follow-up novel to A Dog's Purpose, which continues telling the story of the rambunctious Toby as he drifts in and out of multiple lives, where he explores the reasons for loving, which closely align with the reasons for living.
As funny as it was heartwarming, as easy to follow as it was complex, this novel pulled me in many different directions, and I felt confident going in each one. It was such an exploration of love, and, in the grander scheme of things, the purpose for existing without it. More often than not, there was no purpose to it at all, as Toby quickly discovered, when his loved one passed, he felt completely marooned, stranded in the world, existing without really being. Not understanding why he was still there without them.
This was a brutal read. I will say that. The characters were frustrating, I've never wanted to Silver Linings Playbook a novel so badly in my entire life.
So, essentially this book follows CJ's story, the granddaughter of Ethan, who was the main character in the first book. And CJ's story was one that I felt really benefitted from the dog's point of view.
CJ started eating her meals in her bedroom and sometimes it would just be a tiny amount of vegetable and sometimes it would be wonderful plates full of noodles and sauces and cheeses, or pizza and chips, and ice cream. Then she would go into the bathroom and stand on that small box and make a sad noise. Every few hours, every single day, CJ would go stand on that small box. I started thinking of it as the sad box, because that's how CJ always felt when she was on it.
The direction this story turned in this moment really blew me away. I thought, what an ingenious thing to analyze an eating disorder from a dog's point of view. Because they don't romanticize it as society has today. They look at it exactly how it should be looked at–a symptom of life, of living under immense pressure, of being raised by an absent parent–Gloria. They see how sad it is. How lacking of reality. And they don't place blame, or make it complicated. It just is. It's heartbreaking. It's unfathomable.
As with the last book, W. Bruce Cameron's voice was consistent and nearly perfect throughout. He got the dog's innocence down to a science. He understood the frustration Toby felt as he went from one life into the next and began to struggle with how helpless he was once again, suckling his mother's teat, wishing he wasn't so lethargic.
I think my favorite part was when Toby went from being a big dog, to, for the very first time, being a small dog. The transition was hilarious, because he was so confused as to why everyone around him was so much larger than he'd experienced before, and why his brothers and sisters weren't as alarmed as he was. The way W. Bruce Cameron introduced new variables like a smaller size, or a new location, was always brilliant. Brilliant in an understated way.
It did not seem right that a dog should be the same size as a duck.
There was so much loss and love and irreparable broken pieces hidden in this book. I couldn't believe how miserable these lives were. How lost and confused. It gave new purpose to the dog, which we didn't get in the last book. Where he seemed heroic in A Dog's Purpose, Toby was practically God in A Dog's Journey. Or… I don't know how to describe it. There until the very end. Always protecting.
One afternoon Bob was alone in his bed and I could feel him easing away from his life. The warm waters were rising up around Bob, washing away his pains.
It was just such a magnificent way to escape life and fall back into it with simplicity, with the sense that life is a flow of sorts, and as it rises, it doesn't drown you, it simply tucks you in. It folds its phantom limbs around you and promises you eternity.

Major League Soccer said there's "no denying" the U.S. national team's elimination from the 2018 World Cup field is a setback.
The league issued a statement on Wednesday, a day after the United States fell 2-1 to Trinidad and Tobago in Couva to end a run of seven straight American appearances at soccer's premier tournament.
"There is no denying that this is a setback for all of us involved with the game in our country. And while this is a missed opportunity for soccer in the United States, we remain incredibly bullish on the future of the sport," the league's statement said.
The league pledged to continue to invest in the sport, including player development programs and facilities, and said it would take stock in coming days to determine how to best boost the national team going forward.

Colorectal Cancer
The CDC's webpage on colorectal cancer in Spanish:
INFOGRAPHIC on colon cancer
Among cancers that affect both men and women, colorectal cancer (cancer of the colon or rectum) is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. Every year, about 140,000 Americans are diagnosed with colorectal cancer, and more than 50,000 people die from it.
How Can You Reduce Your Risk?
The risk of getting colorectal cancer increases with age. More than 90% of cases occur in people who are 50 years old or older. Colorectal cancer screening saves lives, but many people are not being screened according to national guidelines.
If you're 50 years old or older, getting a screening test for colorectal cancer could save your life. Colorectal cancer screening tests can find precancerous polyps so they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening tests also can find colorectal cancer early, when treatment often leads to a cure.
What Are the Symptoms of Colorectal Cancer?
Precancerous polyps and colorectal cancer don't always cause symptoms, especially at first. You could have polyps or colorectal cancer and not know it. That is why having a screening test is so important. Symptoms for colorectal cancer may include blood in or on the stool (bowel movement), stomach pain, aches, or cramps that do not go away, or losing weight and you don't know why. These symptoms may be caused by something other than cancer. If you're having any of these symptoms, the only way to know what is causing them is to see your doctor.
When Should You Begin to Get Screened?
You should begin screening for colorectal cancer soon after turning 50, then keep getting screened regularly until the age of 75. Ask your doctor if you should be screened if you're older than 75.
Some people are at a higher risk than others for developing colorectal cancer. Having suffered from inflammatory bowel disease, a personal or family history of colorectal polyps or colorectal cancer, genetic syndromes, like familial adenomatous polyposis or hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (also known as Lynch syndrome) may increase your risk.
If you think you may be at high risk for colorectal cancer, talk to your doctor about when and how often to get tested.
What Are the Screening Tests for Colorectal Cancer?
Several tests are available to screen for colorectal cancer. Some are used alone; others are used in combination with each other. Talk with your doctor about which test or tests are best for you. The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends these tests to screen for colorectal cancer:
- Colonoscopy (every 10 years).
- High-sensitivity fecal occult blood test (FOBT), stool test, or fecal immunochemical test (FIT) (every year)
- Sigmoidoscopy (every 5 years).
How Can I Pay for Screening Tests?
Many insurance plans and Medicare help pay for colorectal cancer screening. Check with your plan to find out which tests are covered for you. To find out about Medicare coverage, call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227).
CDC's Colorectal Cancer Control Program provides access to colorectal cancer screening to low-income, underinsured, or uninsured men and women aged 50–64 years in 25 states and four tribes.

Development of Arboricultural Association Technical Guides
As you may be aware the Arboricultural Association is in the process of developing a new set of technical guides and we have prepared a set of scoping documents to define the contents of each guide. These documents are now ready for review and we invite your response and comments. I want to thank the scoping team for all their hard work on getting these documents ready.
The Technical Guides are intended for the working arborist, with reference sections for the team leader/supervisor on site. They are derived from the 'Industry Code of Practice for Arboriculture – Tree Work at Height' (ICoP) published by the Association in 2015 which is aimed at the Responsible Person, and they will incorporate the key safety points contained in the existing AFAG safety Guides. They are not intended to be training manuals but may provide useful reference for the development of training materials. The five guides are intended to be progressive and pre-requisite, i.e. an arborist must be conversant with climbing before using tools in the tree, before carrying out rigging, before using cranes, etc. MEWPs are potentially an exception to this pattern.
You will find below a link to the feedback survey with links to the documents embedded in the survey. Please read as many as you feel relevant to your experience. The first page of the survey will ask you generic questions about the guides as a whole and then on the next page there are questions relating to each guide.
Please complete the survey as fully and honestly as possible and if you have strong feelings about a particular point please make use of the comments box below each relevant question.
Please be aware the survey will close on 30th September at 11.30pm, so please get your responses in by then.
If you have any further comments or questions please contact Simon Richmond on [email protected]trees.org.uk

Especially over the past three years, family offices have been increasingly active in direct private company invests. What is new is that some family offices are investing in "search funds" that basically back an entrepreneur to seek and buy an existing business to take it to the next level.
The participation in Search Funds is an ongoing trend amongst family offices to take a more active role in private equity (PE) investments, beyond investing in general partnerships or funds. Doing direct investments and co-investments has been on and off an activity for family offices that are already active in PE. We've published several articles on the topic lately and there has been quite a bit of coverage of the trend PE industry media. The trend is gaining moment and this month unquote' ran a two part feature on how family offices are turning away from traditional PE towards more innovative vehicles or models. (subscription required).
Search Funds Bring Together Investors and Wannabe Entrepreneurs
The Search Fund model is a "unique bridge between investing in a traditional private equity fund and a direct investing strategy", says legal advisory McDermott Will & Emery LLP. How such funds work, along with an entrepreneur's experience, is described in Slate's I didn't want to build the next Twitter for cats. It is an objective source for background on this new twist on PE.
Having the right resources available to support direct investing and search fund stakes is important. The sourcing, background checks on sellers, screening, monitoring and exiting of direct investments requires manpower, according to Kate Kalvoda, CIO of Newport Wealth Management in Newport Beach, California, in a Bloomberg report.
It also requires legal advice. The law firm, McDermott Will & Emery's latest newsletter has two articles about family offices and direct investing. Search funds are discussed in Just What You Are Looking For? — Family Office Direct Investing in Search Funds, describing exactly what a search fund is, along with the pros and cons of the model as a vehicle for a family office.
The same newsletter, Cross-Border Direct Investing, deliberates on the legal and competitive aspects of investing in foreign mid-sized companies with a focus on family office constraints and goals.
Part of an Overall Shift for Family Offices
Family offices, especially those managing the wealth of individuals who made their fortunes in business or commerce, have an affinity to private equity and private company investing. It looks like there will be much more innovation in strategies to come as they increase exposure to privately-owned companies.

[CHORUS: (2x)]
I get so lonely
Can't let just anybody hold me
You are the one that lives in me, my dear
Want no one but you
Sittin here with my tears
All alone with my fears
I'm wonderin if I have to do
But there's no reason why
I feel asleep late last night
Cryin like a newborn child
Holdin myself close
Pretendin my arms are yours
I want no one but you
[CHORUS (2x)]
I still remember to the day
In fact is was a 3rd Monday
You came along to be the one for me
Now I'm alone
Sittin here by the phone
Call and say that you're okay
So that I'll have the chance
To beg you to stay
I want no one but you
[CHORUS (4x)]
Gonna break it down
Break it down, break it down
Gotta break it down
Break it down, break it down
You know
That I know
That I get so lonely thinking of you

Working Group Roma inclusion meets in Cluj and visits community in Pata Rât
- forums
- date
- 04-10-2017
On 28-29 September, the working group Roma inclusion met in Cluj-Napoca to visit the Pata Rât community, the most important Roma community in Romania.
The meeting saw 45 participants from 10 cities and representatives from the European Commission, the Fundamental Rights Agency and the Roma Education Fund, discuss and learn from the 'Pata Cluj' project. Roma people from the host city and two other cities (Gothenburg and Barcelona) were also present.
Speaking at the opening of the event, the mayor of Cluj-Napoca, Emil Boc said, "There is no us versus them. Cluj represents a small Europe where we are all part of one community. Inclusion is a key component of our city's strategy for development as we believe no one should be left behind. Our integration policy is based on social housing, employment, culture and, most importantly, education as the long term solution for the social inclusion of Roma people. All efforts at local level are directed towards the education of the younger generation. We still have a lot of work to do with the Roma community as well as with the majority population to change their mindset. We need more support from the EU to be able to do more for Roma integration at local level."
Representing the European Commission, deputy head of disability and inclusion unit at DG Employment, Raquel Cortes-Herrera, reiterated the Commission's commitment to creating a fairer and more inclusive Europe. "Social principles and social justice are the basis of the European Union, but have always been neglected. Now is the time to make the effort to create mechanisms to ensure the implementation of these principles through the European Pillar of Social Rights", she said.
Participants learned about the situation of Roma inclusion in Cluj-Napoca from the executive director of the city department for social and medical services, Aurel Mocan. Local approaches to Roma inclusion through EU-funded projects were also presented; Sheena Keller from the Fundamental Rights Agency presented lessons learnt from the LERI project in Cluj and Florin Moisa introduced the ROMACT projects in the region. Dominique Bé from the European Commission (DG EMPL) then presented the challenges and opportunities for Roma inclusion at local level in Romania.
The participants had the opportunity to visit the Pata Rât community, an informal settlement located in a deprived neighbourhood on the outskirts of the city where 300 Roma families are currently living. They learned about the 'Pata Cluj' project and its integrated approach for Roma inclusion, combining actions for education, employment, housing and culture. Financed through the Norway grants, this project allowed 35 families to move into new social housing in the city. Participants had the chance to visit some of the families in their new homes and hear from them about how their lives have improved. The 'Pata Cluj' project also helped 308 people obtain an identity card, another 179 people received judicial counselling and 297 people received medical assistance. In addition, 70 people from the Pata Rât community were helped into employment, 182 received vocational orientation and job counselling, and 35 young people participated in vocational training courses. Moreover, a 'second chance' school was built in the community, which allowed 45 people, adults and children, to return to school in 2015-2016.
The key messages from the study visit and the meeting were:
- An integrated approach is the key to any successful project or initiative for Roma inclusion.
- Roma participation is essential to the integration process. Roma people should be given a voice, listened to and then involved in all decisions and actions affecting them.
- Collaboration between the city authority and the NGOs is vital to a successful implementation of integration projects.
- EU and other funding are vital to boosting the capacity for developing and implementing Roma integration projects.
- Roma mediators play a crucial role in building trust between Roma communities and the city authority.
The next meeting of the working group will take place in spring next year.

(SMSF) Self Managed Super Funds
Sydney Property Valuations offer SMSF valuations and up to date yearly residential property portfolio valuations for self managed residential property based superannuation funds required by the Australian Taxation office and your accountant.
In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of self managed super funds, Sydney Property Valuations frequently receive requests for self managed superannuation funds.
Benefits of Market Value Financial Reporting
By using market value reporting, self managed superannuation funds will ensure that members benefits, as reported in the annual statements will reflect all market value movements of the reporting period.
This consistent accounting approach by all superannuation funds will assist trustees with the investment decisions of the fund by allowing for the comparison of financial statements from subsequent periods and with other superannuation funds. it will also assist trustees to determine whether the mix of investments in the fund is in accordance with their investment strategy.
Market value reporting will also allow trustees to easily determine the resources that the fund has available for payment of benefits.
Who can Determine the Market Value of an Asset?
It is not intended that obtaining a market valuation should be onerous or expensive for the trustee.
The use of a qualified real estate valuer through Sydney Property Valuations should be considered where the value of the asset represents a significant proportion of the fund's value or where the nature of the asset indicates that the valuation is likely to be complex or difficult.
When to Conduct Valuations
For the purpose of financial reporting, valuations should be conducted at the funds reporting date on an annual basis, which in most cases will be 30th of June.
Please contact us and fill out the request form for your next SMSF valuation

If you've got nothing better to do this weekend, here's our pick of the best economic(ish) stuff we've seen on the web recently. If you've found something we should read, watch or listen to, drop us a line at firstname.lastname@example.com and we'll include it in a future selection. Have a great weekend!
Mariana Mazzucato has lunch with the FT
Financial Times, 14 August 2015.
"We are living in a depressing era in which we no longer have courage. We no longer think governments should have missions. But the market never chooses anything. IT wasn't chosen by the market. Biotech wasn't chosen by the market. Nanotech wasn't chosen by the market. So why should green technology be chosen by the market?"
Mariana is one of the most interesting economists working today. Professor of the economics of innovation at Sussex University, the Italian born Mazzucato specialises in making mincemeat of mainstream opponents. Which is always good to see. And she stings the FT for a 40-quid glass of vino. Even better.
Budget changes hit single parents hardest
The Guardian, 7 September 2015.
"The summer budget has transformed the relationship between pay, benefits and work incentives. Lone parents, even those working full time, face sharply declining living standards."
No great surprise here, but good work from the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, showing how George Osborne's budget will leave single mothers £86 short by 2020.
The Phillips curve is broken
Jared Bernstien, On the Economy blog, 23 August 2015.
Quite a lot of "dirty talk" here, but this is the gist: they used to tell us you can have high inflation and low unemployment, or low inflation and high unemployment. We might call it Hobson's choice, but economists call it the Phillips curve – after A.W. Phillips, the Kiwi professor who came up with the idea in 1958. The trouble is, it's not true any more, and might not have been true since, well, about 1958. Let's face it – those are funny looking curves.
The Other France
George Packer, The New Yorker, 31 August 2015.
"This is not about poverty, this is not about improving people's conditions. It's about hatred, to some extent. Purification." He likened it to the Fascism of the nineteen-thirties. Jihadism doesn't have the contours of ordinary politics. "This will turn you from 'I am nothing' to 'I should be everything.'"
Not strictly economic (you know we take a very eclectic view of the subject), but a superb, in-depth piece of writing from George Packer on Paris's immigrant suburbs, the "Charlie Hebdo" attacks, and France's problems with Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, and Islamist radicalism. Reportage doesn't come much better than this. (Best open a bottle, it's not a short read!)
ScotPound: a new digital currency for Scotland
New Economics Foundation, 10 September 2015.
"Scotland does not have to give up sterling in order to introduce its own new domestic digital currency. Such a new payment system could operate alongside sterling and provide social and economic benefits that complement the continued use of the UK's national currency."
Interesting proposal from the New Economics Foundation for a new digital currency for Scotland (to run alongside sterling), which opens up a discussion about what money is for and how we can make it work better for most of us.
Thomas Piketty: New Thoughts on Capital in the Twenty-First Century
Thomas Piketty, TED.com, June 2014.
Only just found this, so if you didn't get round to reading Piketty's blockbuster on inequality when it came out last year, this 20 minute talk covers most of what you need to know. (You get used to the French accent after a while.) If you don't have time for that: basically, he says that returns from investing capital are generally greater than increases in wages, so the rich will get richer and poor poorer – unless we do something about it.

Canada says poor coordination bogging down Ebola vaccine shipment
By Rod Nickel
Sept 25 (Reuters) - Poor global coordination has bogged down Canada's efforts to deliver its Ebola vaccine to Africa, Canadian International Development Minister Christian Paradis said on Thursday.
The experimental vaccine remains in a government laboratory, six weeks after Canada promised to make it available to fight the deadly outbreak.
Canada is "deeply concerned by the inadequate coordination efforts" on Ebola, Paradis said in a speech to the United Nations in New York City, adding that he was not singling out any country or organization for blame.
Ottawa said on Aug. 12 that it would donate between 800 and 1,000 doses of its VSV-EBOV vaccine to the World Health Organization (WHO) for use in Africa. The vaccine was being held at Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg as officials puzzled over how to safely transport it.
"When you talk about the vaccine, that shows that once again, you need a coordinated strategy," Paradis told reporters.
The Canadian government has previously said it was working with WHO to address complex regulatory, logistical and ethical issues surrounding deployment of the vaccine. One challenge is keeping it cool enough to remain potent.
WHO spokespeople could not be immediately reached for comment.
According to WHO, Ebola has killed almost 3,000 people since March in five countries, including Sierra Leone, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria and Senegal.
Also on Thursday, U.S. President Barack Obama told a meeting on Ebola on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly in New York that there was a "significant gap between where we are and where we need to be" in the international response to the outbreak in West Africa.
"Stopping Ebola is a priority for the United States," he said. "More nations need to contribute critical assets and capabilities, whether it's air transport, medical evacuation, healthcare workers, equipment or treatment."
A WHO panel said last month it was ethical to offer unproven drugs to people in West Africa who are infected by Ebola, or at risk of infection, but it also said using such medicine required informed consent.
Paradis said the formation of a UN emergency response team last week was a step in the right direction to better coordination.
Iowa-based NewLink Genetics Corp holds the commercial license for the Canadian vaccine and said in August that it would be able to produce tens of thousands of vaccine doses within a month or two.
Paradis also said Canada would commit C$30 million (US$27.02 million) more in humanitarian aid to people affected by the outbreak in West Africa through the International Red Cross and other non-governmental organizations.
Canada previously committed about C$5 million to battle the outbreak, which is the deadliest since Ebola was identified in 1976. (1 US dollar = 1.1102 Canadian dollar) (Reporting by Rod Nickel in Winnipeg, Manitoba; Editing by Toni Reinhold)
