In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Two things that make land essentially useless are a lack of a septic system and/or a water source. These are the most important things to consider when investigating properties.  Sewer systems are an important consideration. Off-the-grid land sometimes cannot be connected to a municipal sewer system, so when making purchasing decisions plan for a septic system. Make sure your property is not only zoned for septic, but has the space to install a septic system far enough away to avoid water contamination.  Does your land have access to water? Trucking water is expensive and collecting rainwater is inefficient in most places. Make sure you have access and rights to water and, if you plan on digging a well, factor that into your decision as this can become quite expensive. The soil system of your land, and how/if you can reach it by road also determine its worth. Take topography and transportation seriously in the searching process.  Does your property have access to a road? If not, you should be willing and able to build one as inaccessible land is also essentially worthless. What is the climate like? If you're buying in an area with cold, snowy winters considering the type of road, if any, leading to your land is particularly important. Once again, check carefully for any easements. An easement means you do not own 100% of your land, and it is possible that a utility company, or other landowner can regularly use your land. This could affect how you can use your land, as well as its success as an investment. Consider electricity. If your property is far off the grid how do you plan on getting electricity to your location? You can pay the power company to string a pole in your direction, which can be expensive, or use alternative sources like wind or solar. What is the topography of your land? Take notice of where water runs and if your land can support infrastructure. Watch for signs of flooding and know soil types and grade. Knowing your soil type also affects your ability to drill and set up a water source like a well, so make sure you factor in the added cost of drilling through something like rock as opposed to a softer soil like sand. Oftentimes, legal jargon and existing restrictions are difficult to comprehend. Unfortunately, certain restrictions based on zoning and environment can greatly impact the worth of your land and how you can use it.  Secure your rights. There are various rights that go into the purchase of raw land. For example, do you have the right to anything found on the land, such as land oil, natural gas, gold, or other valuable materials? Make sure to look into this ahead of time to save yourself a long, legal battle and possible loss of money. Also, consider hunting rights. Owning property, in some areas, gives you a right to refuse hunting on that land. Look into this ahead of time, and consider your own comfort and concerns on the issue of game hunting. How is your land zoned? How and if the land is zoned affects your ability to build a home on your land. Check the land's zoning very closely before signing any paperwork, paying especially close attention to whether the land was previously zoned for anything that may depreciate its value over time. Industrial farming, for example, leaves chemical residues that sinks a land's value. Check any existing environmental restrictions, especially if you are buying very rural land. Waterfronts and wetlands especially have a variety of strict guidelines about use and building, which are limiting for owner's plans. These could include, for example, an endangered species habitat. In addition, if you are planning on farming in any way beyond a simple home garden, you need to make sure your land is zoned for agricultural development. Before you begin looking into properties and contacting sellers, prepare a list of questions to ask based around your specific needs and wants to ensure the land is worth viewing. A few general questions to ask the seller or seller's agent include:  Is the lot buildable? Are there any restrictions or encroachments on the property I should be aware of before purchasing? Are there any common facilities, like water systems, septic systems, or roads, homeowners or developers need to manage? If so, what will my specific responsibilities be? Will there be homeowner association fees? Are any portions of the land designated wetlands or floodplain? Does the site have access to electricity, natural gas, town water, or sewer? Is there water on site? What is the flow rate and quality? Nothing will clear up your ideas about what kind of land you want better than actually looking at some properties. You'll immediately realize what appeals to you, and what doesn't and you can weigh the pros and cons of purchasing that particular plot.  Look for any structures on the property or on a neighbor's property that cross the property line, and check with your city or county records office about the legality of such structures and what easements neighbors might have. If you're working with an agent, the road you ride in on is likely the most attractive, easiest route to your property. However, it might not be accessible year-round or it may be prone to poor upkeep, plowing, and other services. Ask neighbors or those who live in the route you're taking, if it's always available, and whether it's cared for adequately.  Talk to locals while you're there. Ask them if there is reliable cell phone reception in the area, what the seasons are like, what driving conditions are in the nearby roads and highways, and whether the area is prone to any specific environmental hazards. If possible, stay overnight. Ask your agent if setting up camp is possible, and if this is allowed consider pitching a tent for an evening. This will give you the best idea of the daily rhythm of the area, and neighbors, and traffic - if after 24 hours your enthusiasm for the place has waned, imagine being there for 24 years.
Summary: Ensure there's access to sewage and water. Consider roads and topography. Know your rights, and be aware of environmental restrictions. Prepare questions for the seller. Make a trip to see the land.

Problem: Article: It doesn't make sense to catch the snitch until doing so would result in your team winning. Therefore, if you're the seeker keep an eye on the scoreboard. Don't pursue the snitch until catching it would ensure your team would take the lead. Different roles require different skill sets. If you're the captain, assign roles based on an individual player's specific skills.  The seeker needs to pursue the snitch, so pick someone who's very fast. If someone runs track, for example, they could be the seeker. Players with experience playing basketball or volleyball may be good chasers, as it involves pursuing, kicking, throwing, and passing a ball. Anyone who's played dodgeball or a similar game would make a good beater, as they'd be able to hit players with bludgers. If anyone has experience as a goalie in a game like soccer or hockey, they would make a good keeper. While the hoops are different sizes, the sizes do not correlate to points. Any hoop is worth 10 points for your team. Therefore, don't worry so much about which hoop you throw the ball through. This will only distract you. Focus on getting a ball through any hoop that's accessible to you. If you hit your own player with a bludger by mistake, this will hurt your team. It's easy to hit the wrong player if you're throwing a bludger in a crowded area of the field. Look for chasers in open areas, without a lot of other players nearby. These are the easiest targets to hit as a beater.
Summary:
Stay aware of the score as a seeker. Assign roles based on ability. Don't get hung up on the different sized hoops if you're a chaser. Target chasers in open areas if you're a beater.
