One of the greasiest- whole wheat is good for you! Recently, after witnessing a work buddy's 6 month transformation- lost 75 lbs, doesn't miss workdays from soreness anymore, lots of energy, I tried his method: the Paleo Diet. I didn't stick with it more than 2 months, but dropped @ 25 lbs, have more energy, my ruptured discs, torn rotator cuff, and knee damage still rarely bother me, while still not eating grain products. They are hard to avoid!
I wish my hearing would have improved, but it's still the same. (Cue Bob Seger).
NTSC BW was 30Hz (I think they used the power line 60hz to sync) when color started they went 29.97 fps. Any one who did audio for tv remembers the fun when the dialogue was acidentaly synced at 30 fps.
PAL was always 25 fps.
I work as 1st AC. I get a stomach ache every time I see the image of an HD telly, the worst I currently know of being Sony's HDR stuff. What people had in their living rooms in SD times on CRTs was WAY WAY WAY closer to what is actually produced by film crews than what finds it's way onto a HD flatscreen after a load of digital "enhancements" done by the telly processing software. There was a time when a moire effect was considered an image defect, with artificial image sharpening way more artefacts have become "standard". It's just crazy.
Yeah PAL countries aren't idiots.
29.97 fps? COME ON! That is just blatantly mischievous. What is the reason behind choosing that number!? Why not 30fps? Just silly.
Then you realise that they had to do that in order to fill in all the color information in the signal because NTSC is a hackjob to get black and white monitors/televisions to not produce interference when trying to display a color signal, yet more backwards compatability. Cinema Tools 4 User Manual

Its all about legacy support.
The 35mm film predates television so therefore that format is what decided the framerate for the future.
Then television comes along and is capable of much better framerates, better still early televisions and their cameras needed to be synched to the mains line frequency and whatever frequency in each country is used is what is displayed on the television.
So you have the clashing of these two techologies trying to work together to display an image and a compromised was met.

60Hz countries use 24fps with an 172.8° shutter angle, 50Hz countries 25fps with 180° shutter angle as standard. One reason I can think of is that these are so called "flicker free speeds" meaning when you work with mains powered light (tungsten or HMI) sources the light doesn't flicker in the recorded image.
Flicker (of the image) in 50Hz countries is unbearable for me.

There are a maze of wheat products these days, and they taste good. But I also get lots of negative effects, stomach feels bloated, joints feel sour, tongue gets white (not good sign in Chinese medicine). But if I limit consumption, then it is not too bad. Sugar is pretty bad as well. But quite often I find it helps when I get drowsy at the wheel to take something sweet to raise blood sugar fast.
Sugar alternatives are probably worse. But it is advertised so much that it gets into the brains of so many people...
I'll take sugar over the chemical crap they push on people as a "diet" alternative.
I don't use much sugar except in cooking and use raw sugar most of the time. I haven't purchased commercial "Brown" sugar in 20 years (except Billington's) . I use sugar in the raw and add molasses to make brown sugar, and use it sparingly.

I can't remember but I have rarely seen one. I recall some controversy where some women are more sensitive than men.
There was a good reason, I can't recall but it might be in "The Handbook for Radio Engineers" or the old RCA Technical Journals.
EDIT Glydeck: Why do we have 29.97 frame rates, and not just 30??
(I knew you would like some maths)

Interesting video: YouTube
With maths.
One of the comments in the youtube video says that if they simply increased the number of lines then home tv owners would have to change both the vertical and horizontal position and size of the picture every time that they changed tv channels because of the two channel formats (such as color and black and white transmissions), which is I think is a valid point.

I feel the same way about HDTV and particularly those upsample to HD. I can’t watch it for long periods of time.
