Frames Per Second (fps)
Frames per second(fps) means the number of picture frames shown per second in quick succession during a video play. Most videos play with frame rates of between 23-30fps.
Any video frame rate less than 20fps will not be delightful to watch. 30fps is the standard. At this rate you will enjoy watching the video.
Most high definition (HD) videos play at between 30-60fps. True HD should play at 60fps.
Most tvs and laptops display max out at 60fps.
With the advent of ultra HD, some next gen tvs and laptop displays can play videos at more than 60fps.
Now it should be stated that the more the fps, the more delightful is the movie being watched.

Roads; an Explanation
Road may be divided into four types
A Road is a smooth path carved out on land for easy movement of people, goods and vehicles from one place to another. These days a road would usually mean an established pathway for the easy movement of vehicles or other form of locomotives from one place to another.
Private road
- Private road
- 2 lane road
- Dual carriage ways
- Express way
Private road
2 lane Road
This means for example, the drive way to your house. Road managed by local community or estate. A private road can be individually or organizationally owned and maintained.
2 lane road
Dual carriageway
Dual carriageways
Two lane roads are single carriageways. Traffic flows in opposite direction on each lane. Two lane roads are common in rural and urban areas. Speed limit on this type of road is low because it has too many access points.
Expressway
Dual carriage way is a type of roadway in traffic in opposite directions is separated by a central reservation or barrier. In each traffic direction, the road may consist of multiple lanes. Dual carriage ways are designed to very high standards so it can double as a free or motorway.
Expressway
Express ways are roads built for speed. To encourage this, there is controlled and limited access into these types of roads. They are built to the highest of standards. Expressways are dual carriage ways clearly separated by central reservation or barrier.
Expressways have the highest acceptable speed limits.
Levelling Simply Explained
Levelling is a process of establishing heights relative to a datum or a fixed point. Datum is known as mean sea level and this level varies between countries.
For easy determination of true heights, official or certified benchmarks (certified levels) are placed in various places in your area or country.
Benchmarks are the stated official height of a place with reference to the Datum.
With these benchmarks you can easily determine the height of a particular site by reference to it.
In a situation where the benchmark is far from a site where height or level is to be determined, Temporary benchmarks (TBM)can be established close to the site of interest with reference to the benchmark .
TBMs make it easier to establish levels or control heights on site.
Simple land height determination example
Taking a look at the diagram above, you are to determine the height or level of land at point B
Solution
At point A, you have a TBM of 180m ( above mean sea level)
Set up the leveling instrument somewhere around point C ( in such a way that you can potentially sight staff placed at point A and B without obstruction)
With the help of someone, place a levelling staff on top of the TBM in a vertical position at point A
Point your leveling instrument at the staff and take your readings.
Let’s assume that the reading on the staff you took is 2.55m. This is the backsight reading which is always your first reading.
Next, without changing the position of the leveling instrument, point the leveling instrument at point B and take staff reading.
Let’s assume the reading you took was 1.2m
To determine the level of ground at point B, add the TBM reading plus backsight reading.
I.e 180m + 2.55m = 182.55m
Next, deduct the second staff reading from 182.55m
I.e 182.55m – 1.2m = 181.35m
Therefore point B is at a level of 181.35m
As a check. Since point B is higher than point A, deduct staff reading at point B from that at point A
I.e 2.55m – 1.2 = 1.35m
Then add this difference to the TBM at A
I.e 180 + 1.35 = 181.35m.
