Like most other old, boxy TVs, the GE ones used cathode ray tubes, or CRTs, to generate a
picture. Inside the glass vacuum tubes, electrons were fired at a screen covered in red, green,
and blue phosphors, a type of material that glows when hit by something like electrons.
And when fast-moving electrons strike something in a vacuum, it generates X-rays.
To protect people from this radiation, engineers mixed lead into the glass ray tubes but this
batch of GE televisions was produced with faulty tubes.
But today, kids won’t get radiation burns by doing it, no matter what their parents say.
So the next time you’re in the mood for a vintage movie marathon, you can sit wherever
you’d like. But when Netflix asks you if you’re still watching, it might be time to give your
eyes a break

Getting rid of the mosquito removes a food source for lots of organisms, like
frogs and fish and birds. Without them, plants would lose a pollinator. But some
scientists say that mosquitos aren't actually all that important. If we got rid of
them, they argue, another species would simply take their place and we'd
 probably have far fewer deaths from malaria. The problem is that nobody knows
what would happen if we killed off all the mosquitos. Something better might
take their spot or perhaps something even worse.

In 391 AD, the Christian Roman Emperor Theodosius banned pagan practices, so the
world soon bid a fond farewell to the Olympic games. But just like those early pankration
athletes, you can't keep a good one down, and 1500 years later in 1896, the modern
Olympic games kicked off in Athens, Greece. Today, the Summer and Winter Olympics
bring international world-class athletes together by the thousands, uniting fans by the
billions for the world's foremost sporting competition.Citius, Altius, Fortius.
