Nearly a month a fter gunshots rang out just after midnight on Sept. 19, there have been no arrests, no rewards offered and little word from authorities on where the investigation stands. Rochester, a post-industrial city of about 206,000 people on the shores of Lake Ontario, is still reeling from the revelation last month that police officers killed a Black man, Daniel Prude, in March by pressing him into the ground until he stopped breathing.

| Boris Johnson will delay decision on quitting Brexit trade talks Posted: 14 Oct 2020 09:47 AM PDT  Boris Johnson will delay a decision on whether to quit the Brexit trade negotiations until after the European Council summit ends on Friday, after it became clear his no-deal deadline will be missed on Thursday. The Prime Minister spoke to Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, and Charles Michel, the European Council president on Wednesday night. He warned the EU had to agree to round-the-clock talks or he would carry out his threat, which would mean trading on WTO terms. Mrs von der Leyen said after the call: "The EU is working on a deal, but not at any price. Conditions must be right, on fisheries, level-playing field and governance. Still a lot of work ahead of us." Following the call, a Downing Street spokesperson said: "The Prime Minister noted the desirability of a deal, but expressed his disappointment that more progress had not been made over the past two weeks. "The Prime Minister said that he looked forward to hearing the outcome of the European Council, and would reflect before setting out the UK's next steps." Mr Michel urged Mr Johnson to "move forward, find solutions and negotiate in good faith," on the three major obstacles of fishing rights, the level playing field guarantees, and enforcement of the deal, a senior EU official said. European Union leaders will hold their first full debate on Brexit this year at the summit, and each of the 27 leaders is expected to speak during discussion predicted to last hours. A senior EU diplomat said: "What we want to show is we are willing and ready, once the UK moves, to work really hard to conclude a deal". France has vowed its fishermen will not be sacrificed to get the deal but has signalled it could compromise if their access to the Channel was protected.

| A Horrifying Covid Chart Still Frightens Months Later Posted: 14 Oct 2020 09:07 AM PDT  (Bloomberg Opinion) -- In late June, I highlighted what I deemed a "horrifying" chart showing massive growth in new infections in the U.S. relative to the European Union. A key explanation for the discrepancy was that many U.S. states were moving forward with reopening despite high case counts, while many European countries had waited to "crush the curve" and ensure infections were lower before loosening restrictions. Now, almost four months later, that same chart remains very scary — but in a different way. For the first time since March, the EU is reporting more new Covid-19 cases on a population-adjusted basis than the U.S., reflecting a second wave of virus outbreaks on the continent.(1) That's even as U.S. per-capita case rates climb from an alarmingly high post-summer plateau:Both regions are at a dangerous moment. The virus will be harder to control in winter as more people congregate indoors, and resistance to renewed restrictions may make them harder to impose and enforce. Europe's second wave after a quiet summer shows precisely how hard controlling the virus can be.Yet even as EU per-capita case rates rise past the level of those in the U.S., Europe may have two advantages over America in facing the virus as the dangerous winter season approaches. First, it got its infections under control last spring and that has kept deaths much lower in the intervening months. And it is now taking more steps to control its outbreaks. Meanwhile in the U.S., a lack of concerted action means case loads have stayed at an elevated level, with deaths following suit: Countries including France, Spain, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic and Italy are beginning to impose new restrictions, from a broader mask mandate in Italy and at least two weeks of closed bars in the Czech Republic to targeted lockdowns in parts of Madrid. Some of these moves appear to be on the late side given the rate of case growth, and they will take time to have an impact compared with broader lockdowns, but European countries have at least begun to act. The American response and outlook is potentially more troubling. States have largely been left to set policy on their own, and the Trump administration is not modeling good behavior. Several states that are experiencing concerning outbreaks, including Alabama, Iowa, Indiana, Florida and both North and South Dakota, are among those that have the fewest restrictions on public gatherings and bars and restaurants. The consequences of failing to contain outbreaks on either side of the Atlantic are clear. Since the spring, and as you might expect from the above chart, the U.S. has recorded more per-capita and total Covid deaths than any other developed country. Overall death rates have dropped as a result of better protection of vulnerable people, catching cases earlier with better testing and improved treatment. But mitigation tactics such as mask wearing and smart social-distancing measures could potentially drive death rates even lower.Every week brings the world closer to better drugs and a vaccine. They're not here yet. But there are things we can do in the meantime to slow the spread. Until the death rate drops closer to zero, it is essential to try.(1) The EU tally doesn't include Britain, which is also dealing with outbreaks; rewinding Brexit and including U.K. case loads would result in an even larger rise.This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.Max Nisen is a Bloomberg Opinion columnist covering biotech, pharma and health care.

| Global shipments of Vinyl Prime Windows are projected to exceed 211.9 million units by 2025 Posted: 14 Oct 2020 04:55 AM PDT  Global shipments of Vinyl Prime Windows are projected to exceed 211.9 million units by 2025, driven by growing investments in energy efficient building products and solutions chiefly for their ability to bring in high ROI benefits. Recovering construction activity in most countries across the global and the huge opportunities in the retrofit market driven by global `green` building standards will also influence growth in the market. Recovery in construction which began in 2011 in the aftermath of the great recession is continuing even today, albeit with slight bumps and turns. This is largely because of the success with which the industry has and continues to evolve and adapt to changes in labor availability, technology and economic turmoil. Digital technologies for concept, design, engineering and building; rise of AR/VR in digital construction; connected construction; smart on-site equipment; increase in modular and prefabricated construction; use of Building Information Monitoring (BIM), automation , robotics, AI, Drones and 3D Printing etc. have helped the industry fight the changing economic realities and remain afloat. Healthy outlook for global investments in construction technologies (Contech) also bodes well for the overall outlook for the construction industry in 2020. The scenario is poised to generate stable opportunities for all players in the construction value chain, including construction materials.
