In this article we will learn about, what is a map projection, how map projections are classified and what are different types of projection systems used in GIS for preparing maps etc. Following are the key questions one can address easily after reading this article.
- What is a Map projection
- Classification projection systems/ Projected Coordinate systems
- How to select a Projected coordinate reference system for a given area or project
Though it is possible to understand the concepts described in this article directly, it really helps to have an understanding of "what is a coordinate system and how coordinate reference system works?". If you are already aware of the above things, lets jump into the main article.
Earth is a 3-Dimensional body. Maps are 2-Dimensional representation of a part or whole of the earth surface. Map projection is the process, where a function (mathematical) is used for converting coordinates from 3-Dimensional earth surface onto a 2-Dimensional plane surface.
Alternatively, one can simple define map projection as a mathematical function which is used for preparing a plane map from 3-Dimensional earth model.
The properties of projected coordinate reference system are based on the projection method along with other things such as reference spheroid, datum chosen etc. Different types of projected coordinate systems can be prepared by using different types of projection systems.
Following are different types of Projection Systems used in preparing the maps.
Classifying Different Types of Projection Systems:
The projection of map can be done in different ways. Based on how we project and what we criteria are used for projection, the properties of a map change accordingly. Some of the important factors used for classification of projected coordinate systems are shown below.
1. Method of construction
2. Based on shape and arrangement of development surface used for Projection
3. Based on details preserved in the projected map or projected map properties
4. Based on location of light source used for projection.
Types Map Projection Based on Method of Construction:
Based on method of construction projections can be classified into perspective projection and orthogonal projection system.
Perspective Projection:
All projected rays coming from different objects from the earth surface pass through a single point or have a common origin (or intersection) point before hitting the plane of projection. Such type of projection methods are called perspective projection.
For example, if we place a light inside the globe and map the shadow of objects forming on a plane it can be called as a perspective projection.
Orthogonal Projection:
In case of orthogonal projection all projected rays are parallel and are drawn from the object location onto the plane of projection. Traditional maps prepared using surveying techniques are prepared using orthogonal projection.
Other than, these 2 types if a projection system is simply based on a mathematical function it is categorizes as non-perspective projection system.
Based on Shape and Arrangement of Development Surface Used for Projection:
Map projection process involves using a plane surface. Objects from the earth surface are projected onto that plane surface. The 2-Dimensional plane surface used for projection is spread without any shearing or tearing to develop a map. Hence, the plane surface used here is called as development surface. Depending on the shape of development surface and orientation or arrangement of it with respect to the spheroid/globe the projections are classified into several types. Some of the important types of such map projections and their properties are listed below.
Cylindrical Projection:
The development surface is similar to a cylinder which is wrapped around the sphere/globe.
The objects and grid system present on the globe or spheroid are projected on to the cylinder.
After the projection, depending on the cylindrical surface arrangement, it is cut along a latitude or longitude to form the complete map.
Depending on the orientation or arrangement of cylinder they are further classified into 3 types.
Normal Cylindrical Projection:
Here, cylinder is placed vertically i.e., equator acts as line of tangent with the cylinder. The developed map contains latitudes and longitudes as straight lines.
Transverse Cylindrical Projection:
In this case, meridian acts as a line of tangent with the cylinder. Here in the developed map, latitudes and longitudes or not straight lines. They appear as curved lines.
Oblique Cylindrical Projection:
Here, cylinder is placed at certain inclination with respect to the globe. Hence, neither latitude and longitude acts as a line of tangent.
Conical Projection:
The projection involves a projection plane which is in the shape of cone.
The cone is placed over the globe or spheroid for projection to take place.
Once the projection of objects and graticules is over, the plane surface is developed by cutting along a longitude to form a complete map.
In this type of projection it is possible to cover only one half of the earth surface at a single time. That means either southern or northern hemisphere are shown in a single map.
This map represents all latitudes as arcs and longitudes as straight lines converging towards either north or south pole.
Depending on the arrangement of cone, conical projections are also classified into 2 types.
Normal Conical Projection:
In this case, there exist only one line of tangent between the sphere/globe and cone.
Secant Conical Projection:
In this projection, cone is arranged in a way it cuts through the earth/globe. Hence, there exists minimum of 2 line of tangents in secant map projection system.
Azimuthal Map Projection:
This map projection system is also called as zenithal map projection.
In this method a simple plane of paper/surface is kept tangential with the globe or earth surface.
The graticules and objects on the globe are then simply projected onto the plane.
Depending on the orientation of the plane, different types of azimuth map projections are as follows.
Equatorial Projection:
Plane is kept tangential with a point on the equator.
Polar Projection
In this projection, Plane is tangential to one of the poles on the globe surface. In the map, all latitudes on the globe appear as concentric circles, and longitudes as straight lines coming out from the centre.
Oblique Projection:
Here, plane is kept parallel with any point other than lying on equator and poles.
Based on details preserved in the projected map or projected map properties:
Based on this criteria, different types of projection systems classified are as follows.
Equal Area Projections:
These projection systems preserve the property of area. That is for a given map prepared using equal area projection system, the area measurements will be precise.
True Shape Projections:
As the name says, this type of projected coordinate systems preserve the shape of a given area in the map.
Equidistant Projections:
Different types of projection system classified under equidistant preserve the scale and distance properties in the prepared map. However, it is not possible for any projection system to store the correct scale and distance properties all over the map. Hence, these equidistant projections give reliable measurements only along one of the meridian or parallel.
Based on Location of Light Source Used for Projection:
Following are different types of map projections based on location of light source used for projecting the rays from the globe.
Gnomonic Projection:
In this projection system, light source is placed exactly at the center of the globe and all rays projected from the center through objects of the globe on to the plane.
Stereographic Projection:
Here, light source is placed on a point above the surface of globe. The point lies exactly opposite to the point where the projection plane is kept on the globe. In other words, they are placed on 2 opposite ends of diameter of the globe while projecting the map.
Orthographic Projection:
In this projection, Light source is assumed to be placed at an infinite distance from the globe. Hence, all projected rays appear as parallel and straight lines.
The above methods are various types of projection systems used in map preparation. Various types of projected coordinate systems are developed using the above methods and are used in producing different types of maps. A specific map projection and coordinate system is chosen based on the location of study area and application of map.

That argument does not really stack up clubs,especially for a striker are often prepared to pay high money.Ollie Watkins at Exeter was an example.His experience was entirely Div2 yet Brentford paid £2 million for him and a year later would be able to sell him on for considerably more.
It would depend on the circumstances.
Firstly does the club and it's circumstances permit the fee for said striker to remain real world value. Any big club could pay vast sums for players like Ronaldo and Pogba, but in truth real world value could potentially remain at around 1/3 of inflated value 24 hours later, so even if Brentford were seen as big enough at Championship level to pay £2,000,000 for a player and not keep the value, then having an initial value drop would mean the player would have to be really good to end up being worth more than £2,000,000 after 12 months.
If the initial real world value stablised at equal to or greater than purchase value, the player could sell for more, but he would still have to impress. Something in the order of 3 goals and 1-2 assists in his first 10 games, would go down well I would suggest, but 1 goal and / or an assist would hardly suggest the player could be an out and out striker at that level, barring later improvement in form.
Brentford may well have paid £2,000,000 for Watkins, but that does not mean they could automatically get more, even 12 months later just for having Championship status, as the circumstances would have to be right.

text: A Guide To NYSC Applications at Nigerian Law Firms This article contains links to other articles which may be useful to you. When to apply You've finally finished Bar Finals and now have more spare time; should you begin your NYSC applications? The short answer is yes. Resting and unwinding from the stress of exams is good and in fact, highly recommended, but don't be too comfortable for too long. We've seen too many cases of students missing spots at their preferred law office because they did not apply on time or relied too heavily on that uncle's connection. It is just not worth it. Plan your holiday and travel to give you enough time to hunt for a job, either before or after you travel. If you do not have any travel plans, we advise that you undertake internships while you await your Bar Final results. There are many benefits of undertaking legal internship, including the possibility of landing a permanent role. We find that most firms do not require you to have been called to the Bar or even to have obtained your Bar Finals results to enable them consider your application for an NYSC role. Firms use your university results, your CV and their written test to consider the application for NYSC roles. If an offer is made, this may be made conditional upon your Bar Finals results. Where to apply You are bombarded with various Areas of Law and there are hundreds of thousands of law of law offices in Nigeria. How do you decide where to begin your legal career? Your application to a law office should be preceded by thorough research. What to expect? Regardless of where you are applying for an NYSC role, we find that the application process would involve at least one of the following. CV and Application Letter You will almost always be required to send a copy of your CV and an application letter to the Manager or Human Resource officer. It is extremely important to have a CV that stands out and highlights relevant competencies, together with a well-written and tailored covering letter, as these are the first things the law office sees, and would determine if you are invited to the next stage. Written Test An increasing number of Nigerian law offices are requiring that candidates undergo written tests as part of the NYSC application process. There would usually be an aptitude test alongside a law test. This allows the firms test the candidate's aptitude as well as knowledge of the law. Because a lot of firms begin the NYSC recruitment process before Bar Final results are released, the written test helps the law offices obtain a fair assessment of your theoretical understanding of law. Interview This application step is obtainable at all law offices. You will be required to have a face-to-face discussion, no matter how informal, with at least one representative of the law office. NYSC interviews could be with a member of the human resources department of the law office, a senior or managing associate and/or a partner. The interview could also be a panel interview. It is important to be adequately prepared for your interview and to perform well at the interview.

Your 4 Step Plan for a Dog That Jumps
Here's how to work on a dog that jumps on house guests.
Step 1
It all starts when the doorbell rings and your dog is on leash.
When you go to the door, have your jumping dog on a leash and just crack the door two inches to greet your visitor.
Let them know what you're going to do, "I'm going to sit my dog. When I give you the signal come on in."
Step 2
Next, take your dog out of the way and grab the collar to stabilize the dog, put your foot on the leash, and then invite your visitor in, "Come on in."
Once they're in, you shut the door and your visitor heads to your family room to be seated.
Step 3
Then you bring your jumping dog in, on leash, careful not to let them jump on the visitor.
Once again, foot on the leash, settle your dog, anchor with your other leg anchoring the foot on the leash. Just say, "Settle," one time and your dog will settle down.
Step 4
Now he doesn't know what you're doing right now, because you've not done this to him before, so he's a little confused. But you only say, "Settle," once, then wait for him to figure it out, and he will.
He'll get tired of being standing there with this snug leash on his collar. Then he'll eventually settle down, and there he goes.
The Finale!
And that's how you stop your dog's jumping on visitors, using the settle command.

The facts here do no bode well for the wrongful death claim brought by the decedent's family. The decedent (Jaquez), came after the police with a knife even after they Tased him upon showing up at a domestic dispute at his home. More Tasers ensured, to no avail. Jaquez continued to attack the officers until they shot and him with rubber bullets, which did not stop Jaquez. Eventually, they killed him with live bullets, knife still in hand.
The case is Estate of Jaquez v. City of New York, a summary order issued on September 8. So, on these facts, what case is available to the Jaquez estate? He sues under Section 1983, which prohibits the unlawful use of excessive force. Plaintiff's expert says "Jaquez was in a psychotic state and that when the officers entered the apartment with weapons and body armor, this escalated Jaquez's reactions." The assistant medical examiner contradicted the officers' version of events, stating that "because the autopsy report indicated that the bullets entered Jaquez's body from above, the bullets' trajectory indicated that the officers were above Jaquez when he was shot, which Appellants contend would contradict the officers' claim that Jaquez was standing and attacking them at the time they deployed live ammunition." The examiner also "proposed to testify that it would have been impossible, based on the injuries suffered, for Jaquez to push himself off the floor and continue attacking the officers after the first gunshot wounds."
The trial court dismissed some of the claims on qualified immunity grounds. On appeal, the Second Circuit (Hall, Lynch and Droney) affirms the grant of qualified immunity, which shields officers from suit when they did not violate clearly-established law. Even if Jaquez did not have a knife in his hand, the officers said they did not see his hand at that time and could not determine if he was unarmed when they shot the Taser. "Thus, in the moments that Jaquez was walking down the hallway 'officers of reasonable competence could disagree' as to whether Jaquez was a threat because the officers knew Jaquez had easy access to a fillet knife, was acting erratically, and was refusing to obey the officers' commands."
As for Jaquez's other claims, again, qualified immunity. While the estate says there was an issue for the jury as to whether he was attacking the officers when they later used lethal and non-lethal force following the first deployment of the Taser, the Court says there is no real dispute whether he was attacking the officers with a knife. "Moreover, because of Jaquez's refusal to follow commands, his close proximity to a lethal weapon, and his behavior up to that point, the arresting officers reasonably could have believed that Jaquez posed a threat." A similar analysis follows on the estate's claim that the initial use of force was a jury-worthy incident. Any disputes about the trajectory of the bullets and whether Jaquez was physically able to reach for a knife are not trialworthy because "the limited circumstantial evidence indicating the possible positions of the officers and Jaquez at the time that they initially fired live ammunition is insufficient to defeat summary judgment on qualified immunity. There is no dispute that immediately prior to the officers' use of lethal force Jaquez
threatened the officers with a knife—thus engaging in the use of lethal force himself."
Other claims went to trial but were met with a defendants' verdict. The trial court did not abuse its discretion on the evidentiary rulings that the estate challenges on appeal. For example, as for expert testimony about Jaquez's psychological state and the propriety of the police officers' actions, that was properly excluded because the doctor was not shown to have expertise in psychiatric diagnosis or in police practices.

SuperheroesHe Is The ChampionSuperheroes - RSS 2.0
The HERO System - the game rules on which Champions runs - is one of the early engines of the RPG hobby, known for its incredible nuance and complexity. "First and foremost, while it's often mocked in some circles as being too complicated or math-intensive, the HERO System offers matchless flexibility for designing characters, spells, settings, vehicles - anything you'd want in a game - and for actually running an RPG. Even in today's era of 'rules-light' games, that's a powerful attraction for a major subset of RPG players. For some of them, the creation process is as much fun as playing. If you 'grok' the HERO System, it will free up your creativity in ways no other RPG can even approach," Long explains. It's that flexibility and control over the details that gave Champions a reputation for crazy creativity in superhero design 20 years before City of Heroes came along. "I can definitely see its influences in other RPGs, which have adopted and adapted the concepts of buying things with points, disadvantages and other elements that largely came to the gaming public's attention via Champions (even if they weren't necessarily 'invented' by Champions)."
"Second," says Long, "many competing superhero RPGs have been based on a license from DC, Marvel, or whomever. That's cool in its own way, but I think ultimately most gamers, and certainly most HERO System gamers, want to create their own settings, characters, histories and events. They don't want a pre-packaged world or characters, they want to create their own." It's a sentiment familiar to all those MMORPG players with hosts of hardly-played characters populating their rosters. Sometimes, you want to design characters as much as you want to actually play them.
As for videogame titles, Long says, "I think the influence of Champions can be seen in games like Freedom Force and City Of Heroes, though, of course, neither derives directly from it. Many of today's computer RPG designers have played Champions, and I think you can see traces of that in their work. After the Cryptic deal was announced, I got a bunch of e-mails from Cryptic employees saying basically, 'I've loved Champions for years and am really looking forward to working with you guys,' which was very gratifying."
The game certainly had the attention of MMO producers. "Jack Emmert called us up one day in December and said, 'Hey, would you guys be willing to sell me Champions for an MMO?' That was it - it came right out of the blue, and they approached us rather than the reverse. The whole deal was basically done inside of a month."

Before I answer the question, I need to let you know that this question was posed to me by a 6-year old. I don't know if the question was prompted by a recent sermon I preached on Matthew 5:43-47 or a lesson taught at home, but the question is very insightful – no matter how or why the Spirit directed him to ask it. How encouraging and exciting to see young children "do theology"!
Well, here was the answer I gave (with a little more elaboration):
First, Satan is antithetical to everything God is. He lies, cheats, hates, distorts, and kills (John 8:44; I Peter 5:8). His agenda is an evil agenda (Ephesians 6:12). He is the administrator of evil into this world (Ephesians 2:2). Thus, to love Satan would seem to show hatred for God.
Second, Satan cannot be redeemed (I Timothy 5:21). In fact, no angel can be redeemed. The story of salvation is a design for mankind.
Third, the context of Matthew 5 is addressed to humans about humans (e.g. "brother" or "anyone). We are created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27); angels are not. Thus, the context does not include any kind of angel – whether evil or not.
In conclusion, I would say that loving our enemies is about loving other humans – not Satan.

Yesterday, May 23, the Croatian television program 3,2,1 Kuhaj – the Croatian MasterChef – had a very special chapter; it was the day of sous-vide cooking. Therefore, the Reality Show participants, who are on the verge of the grand finale, had to cook with the sous-vide cooking technique for the jury. For this, the RTL television channel equipped the participants with our inmersion circulator SmartVide 8 and our packing machines Sensor Ultra.
In addition, being an unknown cooking technique for almost all the participants of the reality show, the producers invited "the best academics in the cooking technique sous vide" to help and advise the contestants. And who would these chefs be? They could not be other than our Chefs Ambassadors Dragan Jovanović and Giuseppe Pette who, during the entire chapter, were in charge of guiding the participants.
At the end of the program, the participants were very surprised and excited about this technique, with which they obtained varied results.

There have been a few new names entered into the list as professional tryouts on teams, but one that really stood out was the Red Wings offering a training camp spot to veteran forward P-A Parenteau on Wednesday. Parenteau split the 2017 season between New Jersey and Nashville, also appearing in five games with the Predators in their run to the Stanley Cup Finals.
His regular season numbers were just on the fringe of being pool worthy, as the 34-year old played in 67 games, scored 13 goals and 28 points.
The Red Wings are in salary cap hell at the moment and will be struggling to fit some salaries in, but if Parenteau can somehow break through in camp, more things might have to happen in the coming days.

California remains to be a place which attracts people to move to and try a local approach to life. The population of the ten biggest Californian cities grows every year, but the fastest one is Sacramento. If you are planning on moving to Sacramento, you should know what kind of benefits you can get from resettling here. To learn what's it like living in Sacramento we will take a deep survey in cities' advantages and its weak sides.
Today Sacramento has a population of 501, 896 people and 170 neighborhoods. The city of Sacramento, like most of the big cities in California, is a very diverse one – many ethnical groups and races find a home here. It is important to note that more than 20% of residents in Sacramento were born in another country.
California is one of these dreamy destinations for young people. Every year we observe how the percentage of people who move to California constantly growing. For example, in Sacramento, the population grew by a little bit more than 1,4 percent from July 2017 until now. In other words, during two years the population increased by more than 7,000 of people.
Why move to Sacramento
1. Weather
The climate conditions always a significant factor for those who want to move to a new place. The weather in California generally is almost perfect – a few weeks with rains, no snow at all, and perpetual sunshine is something you have to expect. Sacramento has mild winters and hot summers. Proximity to the sea makes the air cooler and the temperature feels lower. The start of the summer is always very hot – average temperature in July is 75 degrees. December, on the other hand, is the coldest month of the year – 45 degrees. According to Köppen climate classification, Sacramento has a hot-summer Mediterranean climate.
2. Good location
Let's start with the fact that Sacramento is a capital city of California. The city is located in Northern California's Sacramento Valley, where two big rivers meet – Sacramento river and American river. Sacramento is 90 miles from the Bay Area – less than 2 hours drive by the car. Such a location creates a good option for people who want to move to Sacramento from the Bay Area, which is relatively more expansive. In addition, the proximity to Napa Valley and Lake Tahoe open up a possibility to have a great vacation. Plus, Sacramento has a low risk of the earthquake.
3. The Art and 2nd Saturday art walk
The city of Sacramento has a great art scene. There are dozens of art galleries in the city and neighborhoods. A special event, called "2nd Saturday art walk" begins every second week of the month at 5:30pm. until 9pm. or even later. It includes different shows like art exhibitions, street food, music and special events for each month. But the art itself in traditional meaning of the word doesn't limit 2nd Saturday art walk. Restaurants, all kinds of boutiques and even shops share this evening too.
4. Dress for Less
What differs Sacramento city from Los Angeles or San Francisco is the way people here create their attitude toward personal style in clothing. The street style is quite casual. You don't have to waste your money on exquisite fashion decisions here.
4. Sacramento's food scene is great
It is almost goes without saying that you will find here plenty of cuisines to try. Since Sacramento is a home for the people not only from different parts of the United States but also from all over the world, there are the most fascinating food traditions too. Residents can always find something exceptional to put in a plate with local farm fresh food. You won't have a lack of dining places, as well as places with beer and wines. In fact, at the beginning of its existence, Sacramento was widely known as a beer city. Today the presents of Napa Valley, Amador foothills and Delta regions bring out another great side of Sacramento – its amazing wines.
Besides that, Sacramento has a few very good farmers' markets.
6. Job opportunities
According to the American Economic statistics, Sacramento has one of the highest rates of employment in California. In fact, the city today considered as a good tech destination. Some companies from the Bay Area create offices in Sacramento, which also had a good influence on the employment rate in the city.
It is important to mention that Sacramento has a very special reward: in 2015 Forbes magazine honored Sacramento as one of the happiest city to work in.
7. Nightlife & events
Of course, Sacramento not that rich in entertainment facilities as San Francisco, but it still has vivid cultural life with many events. Nightlife mostly represented by clubs where people can dance, listen to favorite musicians or watch movies. You can reach lounges, live shows and other late time places. Among the best ones are The Park Ultra Lounge, The Torch Club, The Depot and Comedy Sportz. As it was mentioned before, there are many wine bars and brewpubs – all of them, of course, work at nights.
Music scene is also well-presented at nighttime. A number of rock bands with world-famous reputation started its way in the Sacramento area. Annually the city serves as a host for the Sacramento Music Awards.
8. Proximity to the airport
There are plenty of airports in very close proximity to Sacramento. For example, Santa Rosa, Oakland, Modesto, San Francisco. All of these airports located less than 100 miles from Sacramento.
9. A transport hub of the state
Not every resident in San Francisco chooses to move through the city by car. It seems like a convenient option, but that does not fully justify one's hope to move quicker. However, pretty good public transportation is helpful. Sacramento Regional Transit covers all the Sacramento area daily. You can use either bus or train, depending on your route. The cheapest option is to use Yolo Bus. In case you prefer to use only a railroad connection, there is a fascinating option for you – Amtrak train. It is a company with a long history behind it.
The important part of the transportation system in Sacramento is RT Bus. There are 270 buses with more than 3 000 bus stops.
10. Beautiful architecture
Sacramento's scenery is a real pleasure for the eye – it includes both natural landscape and cityscape. It won't be a hardship to find a distinctive architectural building – they are practically everywhere. You can see Victorian mansions from the 19th century, plenty of architectural styles from the last century and modern skyscrapers. For the city's visitors, there are museums walking tours, Sacramento churches and shopping walking tour. You should see places like Governor's Mansion State Historic Park, The Sacramento Masonic Temple, Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament and Tower bridge.
11. Education
The Sacramento City Unified District has more than 70 educational facilities which are spread all over the place. The highest rated colleges are California State College, Sacramento City College and Consumnes River College. There is also California State University in Sacramento – famous and celebrated education facility. The overall education level of people who live in Sacramento is generally higher than typical in the United States. More than 30% of adults in Sacramento have at least a bachelor's degree, which is 10% more than average in the country.
12. Dog-friendly city
Sacramento has a lot of things to offer, and this long list includes a plenty of parks and recreation areas. But there is more: the residents are very fond of dogs so there are a few parks specially designed for dogs and their owners. However, you must acquire a dog license once you moving to Sacramento.
13. Unique cultural experiences
Once you pass all the attractions designed rather for those who just visiting the city of Sacramento, you wanted to learn something deeper about this place. You will discover Sacramento from your bike and be sure you'll find it amazing from such a position. Get used to great tastes of farmer markets and river camping – both are a real core of local life. In fact, the presence of rivers is giving you a great opportunity to have an extraordinary experience. There are a number of rafting companies which you may ask to arrange one of their services. Amazing local theatres – another way to immerse yourself into local life and experience something unique. The moment you get to know this city better you will feel amazing essence of the place. After all, you have a great option to explore every corner of beautiful Sacramento County – full of amazing nature, traditions and people.
Problems with living in Sacramento
Every place has its strong and weak sides. Meanwhile Sacramento offers many benefits for its residents, California as a state still one of the most expansive places in the United States. Let's take a look on some pros and cons of living in Sacramento.
1. Rental prices
Despite the fact that Sacramento is cheaper in comparison to San Francisco, it is still very expensive to rent a place or studio. Today you can rent a one-bedroom apartment for $1,140, for two bedrooms it is $1,365. The price continues to increase over the last years. The average cost of living in Sacramento is at least 15 % higher than generally in the United States.
2. Home prices
Real estate prices in California have always been very high. Sacramento is not an exception – home price is still considering as very high here. The median home price in Sacramento is $322,000. The average list price per square foot is $215.
3. You might need allergy medication
If you are planning on moving to Sacramento, you must be aware of the problem that suddenly can come out from nowhere. According to health American reports Sacramento one of the worst cities for allergies. The reason for that is pollen. It is highly recommended to kconsider it if you live in Sacramento and already have been experiencing allergy reaction. Some days there is a higher level of pollen than in the others.
4. Homeless people
Homeless people is a common thing in all the big cities in California – in Sacramento as well as in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The problem with Sacramento is the lack of shelters for them. For the last few years, the government of the city is trying to solve this problem.
5. Traffic
Sacramento region has a growing traffic problem. Many people choose to use public transportation, and even that is still not really helpful. Today a lot of people decide to take a bike or a half walk – to minimize a traffic issue.
The city is becoming overcrowded
In the last ten years, California has experienced unprecedented population growth. That fact influenced the population density in Sacramento – the city is becoming overpopulated. This is true for households – it is considered as overcrowded if there is more than one person per room.
6. Humidity
Humidity is a problem that can affect the condition of the house. The biggest influence humidity has on crawl spaces in the house. This weather condition arrives in summers when it is mostly hot.
Where to live in Sacramento
- Downtown or midtown areas
Both areas are great places for those who enjoy walking and bike riding. These neighborhoods areas earned the highest score of all cities areas. There is a great variety of dining places, coffee shops and unique architectural buildings. The low crime rate, good education facilities for children are in great access.Living in downtown Sacramento gives you a possibility to lead a safe, comfortable life.
Both places have a great position which also affects a price. Midtown population is about 10 000 people, downtown – 7 000.
- East Sacramento
Sacramento has unofficial nick name – The city of trees. One of the areas that completely justify the way people call the city is East Sacramento. It is a bunch of streets with an abundance of trees. It is a rather charming place with a population of 18 000 people. The neighborhood is famous generally because of McKinley Park, a heart of the East Sacramento area.A place nestled in close proximity to the downtown and midtown. This fact is also a great reason to move to East Sacramento.
- Land Park
William Land Park is a reason why the whole neighborhood area called Land Park. The place consists of single family houses, popular theme parks for children (Funderland and Fairy Tale Town), Sacramento Zoo and the Park itself. Considering as a small, cozy neighborhood, very good for families with children. Median Home Value is $513,600, median rent is $1,411. Residents are mostly the owners of the houses.
- Boulevard park
Boulevard Park is a neighborhood with a population of 4,380 residents. Considering as one of the best and safest places to live in Sacramento. Interesting fact about the place is that people here almost every time just rent a house instead of buying it. Boulevard Park has a lot of eating and drinking places, and vast recreational areas. It's very good for young people who finished their study. If you come here with children, you must note that high schools are highly rated in this area. Median Home Value is $480, 213, median rent price is $916. Population density in Boulevard Park makes it rather urban.
- Tahoe Park
Tahoe Park has a population of almost 5 000 people. It is a 1-mile area that surrounds Tahoe park and consists of big family houses. Median Home Value is $274,936; meanwhile median rent is $1,288. This area is tending to be less safe than those we reviewed before. This is the area where you can get affordable living in Sacramento and it won't affect the general conditions of the quality of life.You can also try living in West Sacramento – a great area with great job opportunities and nice surroundings.
Areas to stay away from
If you are moving to Sacramento there are some areas which you better to avoid. There are no good conditions for a safe life, proper medical treatment and high risk to become a victim of a crime.
- Rio Landa
Rio Landa is a suburb area with a population of 15 000 people. Most of the residents are owners of the places where they live. Rio Landa has a high level of crime rate and not recommended to move to. Median home value still quite expensive – $223,700, as well as median rent price – $1,241.
- North Highlands
Another suburb area with a high crime rate and drug use is North Highlands. The population here is 47 000 people. The job opportunities are not good in this area, people mostly rent their homes. Median home value is much cheaper than in the other neighborhood and suburb areas – $168,300. Besides that, it is cheaper than generally in the United States ($184,700). Median rent price is $1,032.
- North Sacramento
It is not very bad neighborhood according to some reviews. If you want to rent or buy a house here, which is by the way very cheap – $117,641 on avarage – you are still on high risk to be robbed. The American crime report has shown 2018 crime statistics- there are about 2000 burglary and theft crimes.
- Del Paso Heights
This neighborhood area has a very high level of both violent and property crimes. Median household income is $29,496, which is considering as low. Del Paso Heights is an urban area with a population of 5000 residents. The median home value here is $161,900, median rent price is $1,034.
- Florin
The biggest issue in this area is poverty. The level of security is quite low, which affects the possibility to be robbed or to be involved in a dangerous situation. Median home value is the same as general cost in the United States – $187,400. The same is about rent price – $1,059. Nevertheless, Florin has a great history behind it – the place found its beginning in the prewar time.
- Parkway
Parkway is another area with the same issues – poverty, high crime rate and bad jobs. Parkway is a neighborhood located in elevation of 20 feet with a population of 22,134 people. There are a few good public schools, but families with children are not recommended to live here.
- Some areas in South Sacramento
As well as Parkway there are other similar areas in South Sacramento. This area has many reports on violent and property crimes. The problems with bad neighborhoods to live in are always the same and they were named before. If you are moving with children it would be better to find a neighborhood with good schools and a high level of security. Living in East Sacramento can be very cheap if to compare with other parts of the city, but the quality of the place and accessibility to something you might need immediately (like medical care) can be limited.
Moving guide for those moving to Sacramento
Before moving to another state and leaving your house you should do quite a lot to make your resettlement successful and stress-free. Proper preparations will make your moving experience easier and more likely pleasant. For starters, learn everything you can about your new state. Weather conditions, taxes, security, public schools and license issue – few things you have to know before moving to Sacramento or any other place. In the case of this city we highly recommend to take care of next things:
- Before your move make all the procedures to forward all your mail to a new address;
- Obtain resident and driver's licenses;
- If you have a pet, think about dog license too;
- To pack and move your personal goods in secure fashion hire a reliable moving company.

Great turnout at Brighouse this morning, 11 of us; John Ginley, Brian Sunter, Damien Hill, Paul Daly, Chris Smith, Garry Traviss, Dom Turner, Steve Thewlis, Richard Burnham, Phil Purdy and myself set off up Huddersfield Road and were joined by Simon Fortune as we descended down towards Fartown.
At the start I went to the front hoping to set a comfortable pace over to Huddersfield, unfortunately I was joined at the front by Chris who had had the benefit of a 30 odd mile warm up to get to Brighouse, he almost immediately began to pull away from me. I decided not to struggle to stay with him and let him go thinking that once he realised he was up the road alone he'd slacken the pace, come back and ride at a pace us pensioners could cope with. Sadly I hadn't accounted for the presence of Paul in my cunning plan, once he saw the farrier pulling away he bridged the gap leaving us with the worst possible scenario - Chris and Paul at the front together - and all this before we got as far as the Co-op Undertakers.
Once over Fixby the pace became a little more comfortable although the weather didn't follow suit with gusting winds and rain showers adding to the excitement and anticipation of the terrain to come.
When todays ride had originally been discussed we were going to follow the Tour route over Holme Moss but the thought of Woodhead Pass to The Flouch, a cycling unfriendly busy racetrack, put us off the idea. It was Grimpy who came up with the idea of turning left at Holmebridge and going up past Holmfirth Vinyard to Harden Clough and down past Winscar to Dunford Bridge. The Vinyard road is just as steep as it always was but we were lucky in that the gusting winds were behind us. We stopped to re-group at the summit but were to discover that Richard, who has been absent in recent weeks, had been lost in action - Richard, what happened? where did you go?
The 'tete de la course' were taking no prisoners and, having foolishly stopped to take off the shades which were obscuring my vision due to the driving rain, I was struggling to re-gain contact and was relieved when Simon, Brian and Steve showed unusual common sense and stopped to don rain jackets.
At Crow Edge Brian mumbled something about being able to go out tomorrow and turned for home - and then there were 10 - we re-joined the Tour route at The Flouch and followed course past Langsett to turn right to Midhopestones. What a treat the Tour riders have in store next July, this little climb which probably doesn't even register as a climb in the Tour route book had a devastating effect on our numbers with Grimpy and Simon both throwing in the towel and taking the home-bound road, having conquered the Haute Route Alpes and the London-Edinburgh-London between them this year it was a Condor club run which broke them; mmm, I'm not entirely convinced that this is how social season club runs should work but no one ever listens to me (or they wouldn't turn up with no mudguard flaps).
The remaining 8 continued over the Strines Road turning left on the beautifully (Tour ready) resurfaced lane to High Bradfield where (don't blame me, blame Christian Prudhomme), we turned left and up yet another challenging climb, I'm sure I heard even the normally reserved Oakworth Steve quietly swearing. At the top we abandoned 'Le Tour in Yorkshire' and dropped down a steep singletrack road to Damflask Reservoir, crossing the dam wall and going to the (Richard Burnham recommended) cafe at Low Bradfield. Not everyone was happy with the cafe but I'm not going to dwell on that now (I'd like to invite Paul Daly to submit a review of the establishment).
Once refreshed we made our way on some little used back lanes back to the Strines road and to Langsett via Upper Midhope and then over towards Penistone and to Thurstonland and Farnley Tyas via the Windmills road. The weather was improving now and by the time we got to Castle Hill and Almondbury the roads were dry and spirits were high - they must have been too high because on Halifax Old Road out of Fartown, just so we could ride through that ford at the back of Huddersfield Golf Club we took a right up the steep single track lane to Cowcliffe Hill Road. However it proved to be a good choice as it led us to The Roundhill where we enjoyed Timothy Taylors finest ales and a cheese buffet. Happy days indeed!

"We've been using Quill's Interactive cloud legal software and Pinpoint outsourced cashiering service since our company began trading in early 2016. Since then we've seen sizeable growth within our business. This has been made possible by the functionality within Interactive and flexibility of Pinpoint.
"Having a supplier as professional as Quill providing feature-rich systems and allocating us an off-site cashier to manage our accounts brings peace of mind as we're able to work more efficiently, operate continuously and compliance with accounting rules is a given."

Using Eco-Friendly Straws for a Better Future
Each day sees more bans as regards to plastics.More companies are implementing bans on the plastic due to plastic pollution in the oceans.Among the first culprits of plastic bans are plastic straws.Companies are being obligated to turn to eco-friendly alternatives. Despite the pressure piling up on companies to ban plastics, many companies are still reluctant to ban plastic straws.Plastic straw ban has not been effectively implemented in many countries and this is worrying.
It has been found that there are 500 million plastic straws that are thrown on a daily basis after a single use. These are not global statistics but for the US alone. 175 billion straws a year is what you get if you calculate the usage per year. This is the explanation as to why you easily see sea turtles with plastic straws on their noses.
Out of the huge masses of plastic that is used, there is only a small percentage that is collected for recycling.Precisely only 14% of the plastics recycled. 32 percent of the plastics cannot be trapped by the collection systems.
On a yearly basis, 8 million metric tons of plastic residue navigate their way into the oceans. This is too much plastic waste by any standards.Sadly, plastic straws are unlikely to end up in recycling systems. The ocean becomes the last destination for these plastic straws. There is a very real threat posed by these plastics to marine life.
This is the reason environmentalists won't rest until they ensure plastic straws are permanently banned.
Actually, straws are not a necessity when drinking beverages. Therefore, deciding not to use a straw is very responsible.Peradventure you feel you must use a straw to take your drinks; alternatives abound.Read to the end to know these alternatives.
Paper straws happen to be a good alternative to plastic straws. Before they were almost replaced by the now nuisance plastic straws, paper straws were used until in the 1960s. Paper straws are used but for a single-use only.
Metal straws are the other alternative to plastic straws. Metal straws are sustainable alternatives to plastic straws since they are reusable and eco-friendly. These metal straws come with brushes to enable easy washing.
The bamboo straws are other plastic straw alternatives available today.These are lightweight straws from sustainable forests. These are not single use straws and are eco-friendly. These reusable bamboo straws are available from several companies and are hygienic as well.
The other alternative to plastic straws if the glass straws. This alternative to plastic straws is handy to the ability to see them through and wash them thoroughly.
Plastic straws should never enjoy a purchase from you.

Wednesday, July 9, 2014
When I look back on these last 28 years, I'm totally amazed at where and how fast you have progressed to today. I remember leaving MMC sometime after 11PM back then, in some controlled state of euphoria. The night was a typical July night for Maine, warm and muggy. I walked around the Bramhall area and wished I could head to West Street and see my Dad, but he was, believe it or not, off on a Canadian camping trip. After a brief walk to nowhere to work off some adrenaline, I headed back to the parking lot for my car. When I reached it, I do remember searching out lit windows in the large hospital behind me and wondering if that was, indeed, the room that held my new born son. I picked out a window and said that had to be it. I felt the widest grin coming across my face. I do believe it remained there, in some state, the duration of my trip back to Gorham.
It WAS a night that will remain with me forever.
Two songs are etched in my mind about July 9, 1986.
One, that night, was John Lennon's "Beautiful Boy".
It brings me to tears each time I hear it to this day.
And today, the melodic sounds of the Lovin' Spoonful's "You're A Big Boy Now" echo about the room.
... and Justin, you are.
Love always, Dad.
What do you think?

The rest of the pictures were rubbish, of the slice-of-life variety, but one called Valley of Flowers held his attention. It was in black and white (as they all were), and captured a stream in rapid foam-flecked flow over stones while a smoky mist suffused the air, caressing the water surface and the rocks' contours. To the right was the profile of a hill, foliage-wreathed, a rough path cut into it at the edge. A man and his donkey could be seen from the back walking up the path towards a bend.
There was an almost transformative element in the picture. As one's eyes moved from left to right, from the mist shrouded stream to the shrubby hill and path, the texture of the image seemed to shift from charcoal drawing to actual photograph, with infinitesimal gradients in between. His mind could not imagine the scene being ever in color, not even in the real life it was taken from. He wondered, when man and animal reached the bend, what would happen?
