And if you're new to our show, you'll probably hear me say that again.

Your objective explanation of world events.

The Democratic National Convention wrapped up on Thursday night, and former Vice President Joe Biden is now the official presidential nominee for the Democratic Party.

His running mate, US Senator Kamala Harris from California, was nominated as the party's vice presidential pick on Wednesday night.

During this four day event, Democrats spoke out against incumbent President Donald Trump and promoted nominee Joe Biden as the best choice for voters in 2020.

It will be the exact opposite next week when the Republican National Convention gets underway.

Thes conventions are an American tradition there, where the country's major political parties nominate their candidates to find what they stand for in an upcoming election and try to drum up voter support for that election.

This is what they look like in this socially distant year, with many of the speeches made virtually and no roaring crowds of conventions past.

For the Democrats, speakers included former presidents and presidential candidates, current and former political leaders.

The Republican National Convention is set to begin Monday.

It will also be largely virtual and will promote President Trump as the best choice for voters.

The election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 3rd.

The debates, when the presidential and vice presidential candidates face off against each other, are set to begin in late September.

12th Trivia Eighties Egypt I is a type of what.

Carnivorous plant paper, hieroglyphics or mosquito.

This is a species of mosquito that can carry deadly diseases.

A controversial plan is moving ahead to release genetically modified mosquitoes into the Florida Keys.

More than 750,000 of the insects are set to be introduced there.

Why the eighties Agip Time mosquito can carry dangerous diseases like the Zika virus, dengue fever and yellow fever.

Officials are looking for new ways to kill off these insects without using pesticides.

And genetically modified mosquitoes might be a way to do this on Lee.

Female mosquitoes bite people The altered insects that are set to be released in Florida are male.

They've been modified so that the female offspring they produce will die before they hatch from their eggs and grow big enough to bite people.

And the company that developed these GMO mosquitoes says they've been very successful in controlling mosquito populations in Panama, Brazil and the Cayman Islands, but their strong opposition among people in Florida to releasing the altered mosquitoes there.

One technology and food safety advocate called it a Jurassic Park experiment and said there's no way to know what could go wrong because government officials haven't done enough to review the risks.

Environmental groups are also concerned about what could happen to the birds, mammals and other insects that eat the GMO mosquitoes.

The altered insects are set to be released in the Florida Keys in the years 2021 2022.

Have you ever noticed when you're out on a summer evening that some of you get bit by mosquitoes much more than others?

Well, it appears that it might be our DNA.

Researchers in London looked at identical twins and fraternal twins.

Fraternal twins do not have identical DNA, and when they took the mosquitoes and they exposed them to the fraternal twins, the fraternal twins were often bit in differing amounts it wasn't exactly the same.

If one twin got bit quite a bit, then the other twin got bit quite a bit as well.

Well, the researchers hypothesize that it has to do with how we smell, so they wrapped these twins in foil.

This is, believe it or not, how you get body odors out so they could look at the body odors and they could measure them.

Now they're going to analyze thes odors and see what is it about each odor that mosquitoes like or dislike.

So maybe one day in the future, somebody who smells good to the mosquitoes could take a pill so they wouldn't smell so good to mosquitoes.

Okay, Genevieve is the name of a hurricane that passed near the coast of Baja California, Mexico this week.

At one point, the storm was an intense Category four hurricane, but it had weakened to Category one strength with wind speeds of 85 MPH when it spun off the Mexican coast.

Still, strong winds and a lot of rain were expected on the peninsula.

Aside from Genevieve, the Eastern Pacific Ocean has been quieter than usual is far as hurricanes go this season.

That may not be the case in the North Atlantic.

Its season officially started months ago, but according to CNN 10 contributor Tyler Mauldin, its peak often coincides with the start of the school year.

The Atlantic hurricane season runs from June 1st to November 30th, and this week is when we normally begin seeing the number of storms increase.

We see activity come to a peak on average around September 10th every year.

Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, also known as Noah, are expecting a lot of tropical storms and hurricanes this year.

They think we could have 25 named storms.

They have never forecast that many storms.

There are several reasons for their forecast.

One of the most important reasons is a potential anemia.

In order to answer that question, we must first look in the Pacific Ocean because what happens in the Pacific Ocean actually affect what happens downstream in the Atlantic Ocean.

Everything is connected when the ocean water is cooler than it normally would be in the east Central Pacific than a La Nina has formed this line.

Nina then reshapes the atmosphere, creating a calm, comfortable home over the Atlantic Ocean for hurricanes to develop.

Now, hurricanes like that's in space because the winds tend to be lighter and coming from the same direction as you go up in the air.

This allows the system to grow and develop.

Hurricanes also like hot water, and I mean really hot water like bathtub hot, hotter than 78 F from the coast of Africa all the way to the coast of the United States.

These bright colors on your screen indicates the Atlantic Ocean is way hotter than it should be.

Unfortunately, we do have both ingredients coming together this year, Noah says.

There is a higher than normal likelihood that Allah Nina could form and the Atlantic Ocean is extremely warm.

All the timing and now you know the science behind why this season could rewrite the record books and take the number one spot.

Now, Karl, in case you're wondering, the year 2005 currently holds that top spot for the most tropical systems in a single season.

That's when there were a record 27 named storms, with 14 of them becoming hurricanes.

Hurricane forecasting is not an exact science each year.

Noah's prediction includes a range of named storms and hurricanes, and it says these predictions were made with a 70% confidence that the actual number will fall within that range.

But no, it does not predict the number of storms that make landfall in the U.

It says those can't be predicted more than a week in advance.

And after that 2005 record season, three US saw hurricane drought when 12 years passed without a single major hurricane making landfall in America.

A safe recently found in Bari, New York, holds a secret that no 1 may know for a long time.

It's unknown where it came from, and it included a note that says anyone who opens it can have What's inside Thing is, no one's been able to do that.

People have used sledgehammers, they've knocked off the dial's and worked on the hinges.

But the safe still holds its mystery on the farmer who has it hopes it will stay that way to give people something fun to debate in troubled times.

So for now he's hidden the £500 box where someplace safe, of course, there's vaulted interest in it.

Their curiosity hinges on whatever secrets are unlocked, but it may take a crack team to do that.
