IVTC - Inverse Telecine
Sources
If your video is 29.97fps and was originally shot on film, it's probably been telecined. Telecine is a process that changes 23.976fps (frames per second) progressive video to 29.97 frames per second interlaced (59.94 fields per second). Normally that means you can perform an IVTC (Inverse Telecine) operation on it to recover the original progressive frames. Not only will this give you back the original progressive content, it will also reduce the filesize by discarding 1 out of every 5 frames.

Where to begin; the SX-1 family (this includes the SX-1 original (BLACK), SX-1SE, SX-1LE and SX-1plus)32x8x8 mixer/16 track hard disk recorder is one of the most underrated misunderstood piece of audio recording equipment I have ever come across.
The first thing people tend to say when encountering the SX-1 is "It only has 16 track" gasp!!! Well "yes" this is a true statement; however the SX-1 was built from the ground up to be verstile.
Before I go into detail though the statement "ONLY 16 TRACKS" is quite humorous as some of the greatest hits ever recorded was done using only a 4 track recorder. Most of the Beatles albums were recorded using only 4 tracks.
As stated in the SX1 vision document "At the core of the SX-1 is a powerful mixer...". So first and fore most the SX-1 is a AUDIO MIXER. The SX1 vision document goes on to say "It also includes 8 channels of ADAT Lightpipe, 2xS/PDIF, and three expansion slots for up to 24 more channels of I/O (optional additional 8-channel interfaces include AES/EBU, TDIF, ADAT and balanced Analog)".

The Ching Wah (Kinka) Pig is a breed of swine from China. The breed is particularly well known in China and Japan for its black face and tail, its small size and for the good textured pork it yields. The famous Ching Wah ham is named after the pork and is very expensive if it is made authentically.

Right to Life New Zealand
Right to Life New Zealand is a Christchurch-based anti-abortion group, which split from the New Zealand Society for Protection of the Unborn Child (now Voice for Life) in December 1999.
Right to Life was expelled from the main organisation because of tactical and strategic differences with SPUC over the pursuit of the Status of the Unborn Child Bill 1983. This abandoned private members anti-abortion bill had sought to outlaw abortion altogether, except in cases of direct physical injury to women's health. The Status of the Unborn Child Bill did not pass its first parliamentary reading, and was abandoned, as no New Zealand Member of Parliament has sought to revive it.
Over time, SPUC realised that it lacked sufficient parliamentary and public support to pass legislation that would outlaw abortion, and is currently reoriented toward incremental restrictions on abortion access instead, such as preventing competent minors under the age of sixteen from gaining access to abortion services without parental involvement, or forcing women to consult anti-abortion fetal and embryonic closeup photographs under the guise of 'informed consent.'
As for Right to Life New Zealand, it lacked this pragmatic orientation. It sought to revive the Status of the Unborn Child Bill through circulating a petition related to that moribund piece of legislation, even when National SPUC had warned it not to do so. When Christchurch SPUC (as it was) published a parliamentary anti-abortion voters guide for the 1999 New Zealand General Election, that proved to be the final straw for the parent organisation.
Since expulsion, Right to Life New Zealand has published Footprints, a quarterly periodical. After National SPUC threatened to sue it if it didn't stop using the name "Christchurch SPUC" to describe itself, Right to Life New Zealand and SPUC/Voice For Life settled down, and established working relationships. As one can note from Voice for Life's links page, they still maintain an association with Right to Life New Zealand.

Super Aleste (called Space Megaforce in the American release) is a vertical-scrolling shooter game, part of the long-running Aleste series by Compile. In a traditional fashion, the player pilots a space ship through a variety of locales crawling with enemy squadrons to shoot down. However, Super Aleste also offers a "Short Game", where only a set of small levels are played, with the emphasis on scoring as many points as possible.
Gameplay
There are eight types of weapons to use, and each can be powered up by collecting chips (small spherical items). Picking up chips causes the player's current weapon to level-up, to a maximum of six. There are two types of chips to find; Orange chips contribute to a level-up, but at higher levels, more chips are required to reach the next level. Green chips make the weapon level up instantly. Each weapon has a function that can be manipulated with the Shot-Control button, changing around the weapon's abilities to suit different situations. Switching to another weapon is done by picking up a numbered item, with initials representing one of the eight weapons. The types are Multiple Shot (standard bullets, which can be set to fire in different patterns), Laser (lightning gun, which can fire homing bolts or swiveling streams), Multi-Direction Shot/All-Way (plasma balls which are aimed by pressing the control pad before holding Fire, and can be controlled to either aim freely, or strafe), Missile (shoot strong straight-firing missiles, or slightly less powerful homing missiles), Circle (small Multiple Shot, and spheres orbit the player, rapidly damaging whatever they hit, and can be set to stop moving), Power Shot (small Multiple Shot, hold Fire to charge up energy, and release to fire a continuous beam, can be set to charge quicker with no Multiple Shot), Scatter (shoot bombs that split into bullets upon impact, can be set to fire at an angle based on horizontal movement), and Sprite (small ships follow the player, all able to shoot one stream of bullets each, can be set to lock positions). In standard shooter fashion, the player is alloted a supply of smart bombs. Unlike in most games, these bombs don't render the player invincible, although they do block most enemy projectiles. Upon releasing a bomb, it creates an expanding ring of explosions that spread out, then converge.
Health and Lives
Oddly enough, the player's health is tied to the level of their weapon. When the ship is hit, the weapon loses four levels of power (but it cannot go below 0). If the weapon is already at level 0, the player dies. This means the weapon must be at level 5 or 6 for the ship to survive two hits. Also, there are two types of extra lives; Normally, if the player dies, they try the level again at the last checkpoint. However, it is possible to convert lives into Special Lives with a certain power-up; These allow the player to come back at the exact place they were killed, losing no progress. If the player has enough lives that a number is used to display them, then the icon becomes red if they have at least one Special Life left.
Items
Many different items can be picked up during levels. Weapon Switch: This item will switch your weapon to the indicated type. If you already have the shown weapon type, it will raise your power by 1. Cycling Weapon Switch: This is a different Weapon Switch item, which cycles through all eight types. You can shoot it to stop it cycling for a moment. Enemy Eraser: Shooting a Cycling Weapon Switch enough will turn it into this small ball of energy. The moment you touch it, every enemy and projectile on the screen will be destroyed. Spare Bomb: Adds a bomb to your reserve.
