Thank you.

Thank you for electing to spend 10 minutes with CNN.

I'm Carla Zeus and an election is one of our topics This Thursday, Theo event is set for November 3rd of this year.

That's the Tuesday after the first Monday in November and that phrase has determined the date of elections in America since Congress passed a law about it in 18 45.

The tickets are now set by that we mean the names of the two people who will appear on each major party ballot for the Republicans.

Incumbent President Donald Trump clinched his party's nomination in March.

He hasn't formally been nominated yet.

That's scheduled to happen later this month.

But March was when President Trump had won enough delegates in the U.

S primaries and caucuses to virtually guarantee his nomination.

Completing the Republican ticket is incumbent vice president Mike Pence.

He's a former governor of Indiana, and he served several terms in the U.

S.

House of Representatives before that for the Democrats, former Vice President Joe Biden clinched his party's nomination in June.

The process took longer because many more Democrats were in the running.

Biden will also formally be nominated later this month, and this week he announced that his running mate would be US Senator Kamala Harris from California.

Harris is one of the candidates who competed with Biden for the Democratic presidential nomination.

Her mother was from India and her father from Jamaica.

Harris is the first woman of color to run for US vice president for a major political party.

By tradition, the candidates nominations were made official at the Republican and Democratic National Conventions.

In normal times, these air major packed events with delegates attending from all over the country.

But these are not normal times, thanks to Cove in 19 so much smaller and virtual gatherings will replace the massive party fanfare we're used to seeing.

Okay, 12th trivia conference Use a Mountain West and FBS Independence Air all what political parties, soccer leagues, football groups or time zones thes air, all college football groups or conferences.

And the question is when they'll play their next games.

Well, if we do have college football this fall, it certainly will look different.

Two of the biggest conferences in college football, the Big 10 and Pac 12 making the decision on Tuesday to postpone their seasons due to coronavirus concerns.

Both conferences do say they hope to play football in the spring.

Now the Pac 12 citing concerns over the availability of FDA approved accurate testing with rapid turnaround times where all of their schools are located.

While the Big Ten's commissioner, Kevin Warren, says there's still too much unknown about the virus, there is no central governing body for college football.

Each conference makes its own decisions.

And while the Big 10 and Pac 12 doctors are saying that they should not play football right now, the SEC and A.

C.

C s medical experts are telling those two conferences they can proceed as planned with football in the fall.

On both of those conferences do say they will make adjustments as needed.

Speaking of fall, it doesn't officially start until September 22nd.

A lot of schools haven't kicked off their fall semesters yet, but Halloween candy is already appearing on some store shelves.

If it sounds a little early for that, it is.

Many stores don't stock Halloween candy displays until September, but because of uncertainty due to the coronavirus pandemic and because the Halloween season is worth $4.6 billion in sales for the candy industry.

American companies like Hershey's are rolling out their seasonal candy earlier.

Industry executives say Halloween will look different this year.

They expect some folks will go trick or treating as usual.

But some could opt for more socially distant events, and some might stay home for family movie night.

However, that plays out in 2.5 months.

Candy companies want to make sure Americans have all the treats they want up next.

Haptik is a term that relates to our sense of touch.

You might be familiar with the haptic feedback on a smartphone that determines when and how much a phone vibrates.

A haptic system could make a dramatic difference in orchestras.

We don't know the cost of the set up you're about to see, and that could be a challenge for orchestras struggling to get funding.

But it's opening new doors for visually impaired musicians.

Kyung Ho Jeon is a virtuoso percussionist from Seoul E.

When I listen to music, I feel many things.

I feel the brightness and darkness, the warmth and coldness of those sounds as a soloist.

His talent is evident, but Kyung Ho does not want to play alone.

He has always dreamed of joining an orchestra.

Until now, that has been an impossible dream because Kyung Ho is blind.

I cannot make eye contact.

I cannot look at the conductors beat in an orchestra.

I could never play in a group.

All of my teachers worried about that.

They said that my dream of being a percussionist is difficult.

Yeah, I got a present for you.

Everything changed when Kyung Ho met British instrument designer Vatican Matos Ian, and together they created the haptic baton.

Haptik is the sense of field.

Essentially, it's a sense of field touch on.

In our case, it's vibration.

The haptic battle on is a conductor's baton, on which senses the movement of the conductor on the players who wear.

Bands feel this movement as waves or pulses around the body almost inside the body, and that gives them the timing of the music.

The baton has been a game changer for Kyung ho with wearable vibration devices strapped to his ankles.

He could be led by a conductor and join an ensemble of musicians through the vibration that is delivered by the device.

I can feel how the conductor beats strong, soft, smooth or long e can feel with my body What I cannot see.

E essentially, the conductor can conduct as they would normally on the Batam will transfer this movement directed the players with no problems.

When you finally had that working prototype and the first time you used the haptic baton, how did it feel?

Um e I was very excited.

Two years ago, we had a small concert in Bristol in the UK, blind musicians from UK and Korea and seeing musicians from UK.

So about 10 of us played a Beethoven symphony.

I could feel the conductors beat without any delay in time, right?

Vatican and his organization, Human Instruments, hope that if they can find the right partners, the haptic baton will get smaller and lighter and cheaper.

And by 2020 to be available in every concert hall and music school music is universal.

Onda normally should reflect all of society, and if you look in the orchestra today, you just don't see society reflected.

Now, with this new invention, there's no excuse for orchestras around the world, not toe have visually impaired members in the orchestra.

So this technology has changed your dreams for your career and what you can achieve.

Yeah, tha That's right.

Things Device can Open New possibilities Now I have the chance of joining an orchestra using this haptic baton.

Ah, a stage has opened for me for a new field of work.

Booth Day the 19 nineties.

If people wanted to rent a movie, many went to Blockbuster Video.

There were once more than 9000 of these stores worldwide.

Now there's just one, this one in Bend, Oregon.

And if you're wondering why there's a bed inside, the manager was planning to celebrate the stores 20th year of being in business when Cove it hit.

So she converted it to an Airbnb and made it available for folks to book three individual nights in September for just four bucks.

That's a penny more than they'd spend renting a newly released movie.

The 19 nineties decor just adds to the ambience of making it a blockbuster night.

True, Nostalgic will want to bring a camcorder to tape the experience.

We don't know if the manager was told to be kind.

Please rewind to a bygone era.

But for all its pop corniness, it is the VH Essence of the past.

Y'all Ah Carlos, there's and It's time to Roll Credits On today's edition of CNN 10.

This show goes out to Riverside Brookfield High School in Riverside, Illinois.

Yeah, E yeah, yeah, yeah.
