What is Satellite Communication?.
20100721200227648 200x149  Satellite Communication
In satellite communication, sign channeling between the sender and receiver is done with the help of satellite. In this process, the signaling which happens to be essentially a radio beam of modulated microwave is sent out towards the artificial satellite. And so the orbiter magnifies the sign and sent out it rearward to the receivings scheme transmitting aerial todays on the grounds Earths Earth?s surface. So, all the signaling transporting is occurring in outer space. Thus this kind of passing along is known as outer space communicating.

The Satellite communication system dissevered in two fold earth segment and space segment.. The satellite and its control condition place form the space segment, while the earth segment contains currently the dealings and traffic control.

Basic Element : -.

There are Two Basic Element.

The Satellite. ? The Satellite also knows as space segment. and its written a three stand alone socials unit. brand at this site fuel system, the satellite and telemetry controls condition, and the transponder.

The Ground station : ? This is the earth section. The land places job is two fold. In the case of an conveying station, terrestrial informations in the form of substructure band signs, is passed through a baseband CPU, an up convertor, a eminent warmed up amplifier,.

Two type of Satellite System are used in satellite communication system Passive Satellite And Active Satellite.

Passive Satellite : -. photo 1 drts 200x157  Satellite Communication

This kernel is in all probability a charge plate balloon having a metallic element rose up done with it. This field of battle meditated the coming up microwave signalizing coming up off one piece of the ground to early part. This amazing is like as inactive region. Our ground also has a inactive artificial satellite.

Active Satellite ; -.

In active satellites an antenna system, sender, power and a receiving system is used. These satellites are also termed as transponders. The senders accommodated on the ground bring forth the microwaves oven. Them all rays are obtained by the transponders attached to the orbiter. The signalings coming up associated with the orbiter in which make the ground, are of rattling low strength.

What Are the requirement for Satellite communication system.?.
.1. Its radical way needs to be only in the form of the exact of a distinctive dry land.
.2. ? The time period of majors planet revolution ought to be required to be exact same to the time period of the rotation of ground at the same time its diametric axis, which is open 24 60s minutes.
.3. The equatorial aeroplane of land comes into play to be coplanar with the orbital plane.

Good idea but I've got a few concerns

1)Where would Soldiers and Medics get their bullets from? Guns didn't exist in the time period that they've been sent to
2)Again, guns didn't exist in the time that they've been sent to, so couldn't the medic and soldier just shoot everybody down with ease? Then it's game over
3)How would a technomancer create machines in a time that has no technology?

Weight Loss With A Chocolate High&8226Weight Loss And Fitness ...

I have a confession. ?I?m a chocolate fanatic. ?You?d think I?d gain a lot of weight by eating chocolate but you would be wrong; I?ve survived weight loss with a chocolate high for quite some time.

But chocolate wasn?t always my friend; and this is coming from someone who could easily woof down four Milky Way bars in a day. ?Back then, it was a matter of increasing my exercise, giving up a food group, or a combination of both to maintain a steady weight loss. Obviously, not healthy and definitely poor nutrition.

Most of us go through a learning process when we are changing our lifestyles and I?m no different. ?Because I knew I never would give chocolate up for good, I decided to learn what I could about it. ?To see if their was a healthier option. ?And there is?

Surprise! Chocolate CAN Be Good for You, at ? Articles ? Mercola.com

?Dr. Beatrice Golomb reveals how chocolate benefits your health and explains how you can ?articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/?/no-sugar-chocolates.aspx?
http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2012/08/26/no-sugar-chocolates.aspx

If you read one of my earlier posts on chocolate, then you already know the three kinds of chocolate (cacao,cocoa, and cocoa butter). ?The ?good news bear? also chocolate Weight Loss With A Chocolate Hightells us that the cocoa bean?

?Cacao contains an antioxidant called?epicatechin, thought to help shield your nerve cells from damage.?

?Besides epicatechin, cacao is also high in?resveratrol, a potent antioxidant found in red wine, known for its ability to cross your blood-brain barrier to help protect your nervous system.?

?One 2012 meta-analysis found that?eating chocolate?could slash your risk of cardiovascular disease by 37 percent and your stroke risk by 29 percent. Another 2012 meta-analysis, this one in the UK1, found that cocoa/chocolate lowered insulin resistance, reduced blood pressure, increased blood vessel elasticity, and slightly reduced LDL.?

You may already know that the closer the chocolate is to it?s natural state, the better it is for you. ?Unfortunately, most of us can?t stand the bitter taste. ?It?s what we add to cocoa that makes a big difference not only in calories and taste, but to our health.

If you really want to make yourself a healthy treat then watch the video below. ?And also jot down how many calories total you are putting into this candy, that way you can gauge what you can allow yourself (sorry?but we still have to monitor our caloric intake!).

I have a second confession to make. In my other post on chocolate, I think I said one ounce per day was safe. Well, the source I?m using today, states this:

?In general, it seems preferable to consume smaller amounts of chocolate at more frequent intervals, much like the principle of split dosing for supplements, in order to ensure a steadier stream of nutrients in your bloodstream. According to Dr. Golomb, studies show people eating chocolate more than five times per week have a lower body mass index.?

But on the other hand,

According to Ori Hofmekler, in order to fully benefit from chocolate, you?d have to consume about 3.5 to 7 ounces per day. He states:

?The problem is that even the healthiest dark chocolate brands today are not designed for such a large consumption.Yes, a moderate serving of three to four ounces of dark chocolate per day may be sufficient enough to affect your blood sugar and waist size.?

Now I rarely recommend you read the source article, but this is an exception. ?You will learn more about what fats, sweetners and chocolates to use and to avoid. ?And, although I believe in assisting people to find healthy ways to lose weight, I also am a firm believer that you need to learn all you can about your new lifestyle.

So go on. ?Make that candy and enjoy your weight loss with a chocolate high.

Rover's laser instrument zaps first Martian rock

ScienceDaily (Aug. 19, 2012) ? Today, NASA's Mars rover Curiosity fired its laser for the first time on Mars, using the beam from a science instrument to interrogate a fist-size rock called "Coronation."

The mission's Chemistry and Camera instrument, or ChemCam, hit the fist-sized rock with 30 pulses of its laser during a 10-second period. Each pulse delivers more than a million watts of power for about five one-billionths of a second.

The energy from the laser excites atoms in the rock into an ionized, glowing plasma. ChemCam catches the light from that spark with a telescope and analyzes it with three spectrometers for information about what elements are in the target.

"We got a great spectrum of Coronation -- lots of signal," said ChemCam Principal Investigator Roger Wiens of Los Alamos National Laboratory, N.M. "Our team is both thrilled and working hard, looking at the results. After eight years building the instrument, it's payoff time!"

ChemCam recorded spectra from the laser-induced spark at each of the 30 pulses. The goal of this initial use of the laser on Mars was to serve as target practice for characterizing the instrument, but the activity may provide additional value. Researchers will check whether the composition changed as the pulses progressed. If it did change, that could indicate dust or other surface material being penetrated to reveal different composition beneath the surface. The spectrometers record intensity at 6,144 different wavelengths of ultraviolet, visible and infrared light.

"It's surprising that the data are even better than we ever had during tests on Earth, in signal-to-noise ratio," said ChemCam Deputy Project Scientist Sylvestre Maurice of the Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planetologie (IRAP) in Toulouse, France. "It's so rich, we can expect great science from investigating what might be thousands of targets with ChemCam in the next two years."

The technique used by ChemCam, called laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy, has been used to determine composition of targets in other extreme environments, such as inside nuclear reactors and on the sea floor, and has had experimental applications in environmental monitoring and cancer detection. Today's investigation of Coronation is the first use of the technique in interplanetary exploration.

Curiosity landed on Mars two weeks ago, beginning a two-year mission using 10 instruments to assess whether a carefully chosen study area inside Gale Crater has ever offered environmental conditions favorable for microbial life.

ChemCam was developed, built and tested by the U.S. Department of Energy's Los Alamos National Laboratory in partnership with scientists and engineers funded by the French national space agency, Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales (CNES) and research agency, Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS).

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Science Laboratory Project, including Curiosity, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. JPL designed and built the rover.

More information about Curiosity is online at http://www.nasa.gov/msl and http://mars.jpl.nasa.gov/msl/. You can follow the mission on Facebook at: http://www.facebook.com/marscuriosity and on Twitter at: http://www.twitter.com/marscuriosity.

Droid RAZR HD video tutorials leaked (update - and now they're gone)

 

RAZR HD

Update: Well, looks like the YouTube account that uploaded the videos has been closed. That's the way it goes with leaks sometimes. 

A few video tutorials have leaked out, very similar to ones we've seen before for other Motorola devices, showing basic functions of using what we presume is the Droid RAZR HD. Although the device isn't actually properly called out as such, it's a pretty safe bet at this point given the design, Verizon branding and timing. Leaks like this line up with what we're assuming will be the launch of the device at a Verizon and Motorola event on September 5th.

The videos are pretty run of the mill, showing off basic functions of the latest Motorola UI over Ice Cream Sandwich -- which looks extremely similar to what we've seen on the Atrix HD. Unfortunately they don't give away much in the way of specs or a look at the rest of the device, but we'll know soon enough. Take a gander after the break at the rest of the videos.

YouTube And The Olympics: 231M Video Streams And Up To 500K Concurrent Viewers

Official Olympic ChannelThe less said about the quality of NBC's Olympics coverage in the U.S., the better, but in terms of the quantity of live and recorded Olympics video streamed this year, the partnership between NBC and YouTube clearly worked out well. Even by YouTube's standards, live streaming the Olympics for NBC was a pretty massive undertaking and the company just released?new data about its Olympics coverage from earlier this month. At its peak, the service pushed out more than half a million livestreams at the same time. On NBCOlympics.com, YouTube says, viewers watched more than 159 million total streams and just over a third of these came from mobile devices and more than 50% were in HD.

London 2012 Paralympics official UK app available now

Android Central

The British public is still on a high following the resounding success of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The action isn't over though, as after a 2 week break we have the 2012 London Paralympic Games to look forward too. Tickets have been going like hotcakes, and many will be left disappointed at being unable to attend the events. Fear not though, as with the main games, an official app is here to keep you in the know. 

The Paralympics are not being broadcast in the UK by BBC as the main games were, so their Olympic app won't be of much use. Instead, Channel 4 is the official Paralympic Broadcaster, and as such has released their own official Paralympics application. All the expected is contained within, a live text stream, medals table, results, news etc. Apart from the news and photos, the app is pretty redundant at the moment. But, come Aug 29 when the games begin, the various sections will start lighting up. 

Oh, and unlike the BBC Olympics app, this has no troubles with tablets. We've tried it out with a Nexus 7 and it works just fine.

Different Types Of Milwaukee Pest Control ... - IdeaMarketers.com











Milwaukee pest control will be given high priority in the near future. Pests are now ignored without noticing the ill effects caused by it. Pests are irritating yet they are not given much of required attention to avoid it. Pests are also beneficial to human beings in a few scenarios. Bacteria is needed in our everyday life. Pests like rats, flies and mosquitoes are too irritating and even deadly. They can also carry along with them harmful diseases, which can kill a human being. This is when pest control comes into picture.

Pest control will be effective when the work is organized effectively. We should first get to the root cause of pests and should identify it. It is essential to classify and to gain knowledge over the needed and the unneeded bacteria. Later, the extent to which the pest control is to be incorporated must be decided with respect to the problems within tat region. Thirdly, there should be an ideal method to be chosen to stop the pests from multiplying as they are multiplied in huge numbers. Choosing an available option to the problems faced is to be decided whether it should be chemical or non-chemical treatments. There are also biological methods, which can be incorporated to control pests.

Now with the advancement with the research in this field using chemical pesticides for the pest control has developed. However, it is suggested not to be used for domestic purpose as it would have unfavorable effects sometimes. The efficiency of chemical Milwaukee pest control methods is high but the effect lasts for a short span of time and hence must be repeated with the same process. The pesticides must be chosen for the appropriate purpose or in case of incorrect usage of pesticides, it would turn out to be a poison to humans. Bacteria's are found even in food, which we consume. We will have the mix of both the needed and unneeded bacteria's.

Facebook insiders can sell stock as 'lock-up' ends

(AP) ? Facebook's early investors and a handful of top executives become eligible on Thursday to sell stock they own in the social networking company. It marks the beginning of a time-honored process for public companies, which will culminate in the fall, when many Facebook employees receive the same right to sell their shares.

It's conceivable none of them will sell. But if they do, up to 1.91 billion more shares could flood the stock market, joining the 421 million that have been trading since Facebook's initial public offering in May. So-called "lock-up" periods, which prevent insiders from unloading shares too close to an IPO, generally start to expire 90 days after a stock makes its public debut.

Lock-ups are designed to prevent a stock from experiencing the kind of volatility that might be caused if too many shareholders decide to sell a newly-traded stock all at once. The progressive phasing-in of various shareholders allows early owners to shed their stock and make way for new investors, says Peter Zaleski, a professor economics at the Villanova School of Business in Pennsylvania. But there's risk involved too. If too many people sell, Facebook's stock price could decline.

That's a problem the company can't afford. On Monday, the stock closed at $21.60, down 43 percent from its initial public offering price of $38.

This week, Facebook's operating chief and No. 2 executive Sheryl Sandberg, Facebook's, as well as finance chief David Ebersman and firms ranging from Accel Partners to Goldman Sachs will be free to sell stock they own. In all, 271 million shares will become eligible this week, according to Facebook's regulatory filings. Microsoft Corp., another early Facebook investor, will be eligible to sell, too.

Facebook's 28-yearold chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg won't be able to sell his shares until mid-November. Facebook hasn't explained why Zuckerberg didn't become eligible with the other top executives this week. He controls about a third of the 1.22 billion shares and stock options that will become unlocked on Nov. 14

Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter believes it's unlikely that top executives will sell their shares as soon as they can. It would look bad for the company, Pachter says. Zynga Inc., the online game maker behind "FarmVille," was sued last month for waiving lock-up restrictions for insiders, including CEO Mark Pincus, before the company's first-quarter results in April.

"The only people who would sell are people who need the money," says Pachter. "I would be very worried if Sheryl Sandberg or Ebersman sell, but they are not that dumb."

Following this week's expiration date, about 243 million more Facebook shares and stock options will become eligible for sale into the public stock market between Oct. 15 and Nov. 13. Then there's the Nov. 14 expiration, and another a month later. Next May, a year after Facebook's IPO, the Russian Internet company Mail.ru Group and DST Global ?both of which made early investments in Facebook? will be able to sell the shares.

The early investors who sold their stock to the public as part of Facebook's IPO did so at a price of $38 each. If they sell now, they will make far less money from each share than they did in the IPO. Facebook's stock has not hit its IPO price since its first day of trading. As a result, the company's market value has plummeted from $104 billion to $59.1 billion in roughly three months.

Goldman Sachs and a few other investors are in a unique position to profit if they sell Facebook's stock at its current price A January 2011 investment round from Goldman Sachs and others valued Facebook at $50 billion.

Even before the Facebook's disappointing IPO, Silicon Valley merchants ?those who sell real estate, cars, and other luxury items? had been expecting a boost to the local economy from rank-and-file Facebook employees who received stock options as part of their compensation. Now, experts are cautioning those merchants to temper their expectations.

"In light of the company's market value being half of what was expected, and the fact that the big gainers are not in Silicon Valley year round, I would not expect a new boom in Silicon Valley resulting from this," says Zaleski.

Jon Burgstone, professor at the Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology at the University of California, Berkeley, points out that many of Facebook's shareholders had already been able to sell their stock before the company's initial public offering, through secondary stock markets set up to allow trading in private businesses. In many ways, he added, "Facebook's IPO was really a secondary public offering. A number of large shareholders and early employees have already been cashing out."

As for flashy cars and fancy clothes?

"People here generally don't spend their money on expensive clothing, jewelry, etc.," Burgstone says. "The ethos of Silicon Valley remains ? what have you done, and what can you do now? ?not what label are you wearing."

Ev & Ocho: CANCELED By VH1!


Sayonara, Ev & Ocho. Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada's upcoming reality show has been cancelled by VH1 in the wake of Chad's arrest for domestic violence.

The Basketball Wives spinoff was set to debut September 3.

But now, after Chad was arrested for head-butting Evelyn Lozada, even VH1 proved it has some standards, yanking Ev & Ocho from its schedule immediately.

Ochocinco and Evelyn Lozada

Hope that text isn't from Chad's side piece.

The network said in a statement Monday: "Due to unfortunate events over the weekend and the seriousness of the allegations, VH1 is pulling the series 'Ev and Ocho' from its schedule and has no current plans of airing it."

The show was to follow the couple's relationship from dating to engagement, but after the condom-inspired argument, we'll never get to see the magic.

VH1 billed it as "the journey of a charismatic and passionate couple's every step, as they prepare to walk down the aisle and into each other's hearts forever."

Or into Broward County Jail as it turned out.

Johnson, who changed his surname back from Ochocinco this summer, was also released by the Dolphins already, making him all kinds of unemployed.

Laudator Temporis Acti: Trees in the Family Tree

In Men Born from Trees, I presented some Greek and Latin quotations about various peoples thought to be descended from trees. Such beliefs weren't unique to the Greeks and Romans. See J.A. MacCulloch, The Religion of the Ancient Celts (Edinburgh: T. & T. Clark, 1911) p. 202 (footnotes omitted):
Tribal and personal names point to belief in descent from tree gods or spirits and perhaps to totemism. The Eburones were the yew-tree tribe (eburos); the Bituriges perhaps had the mistletoe for their symbol, and their surname Vivisci implies that they were called "Mistletoe men." If bile (tree) is connected with the name Bile, that of the ancestor of the Milesians, this may point to some myth of descent from a sacred tree, as in the case of the Fir Bile, or "men of the tree." Other names like Guidgen (Viduo-genos, "son of the tree"), Dergen (Dervo-genos, "son of the oak"), Guerngen (Verno-genos, "son of the alder"), imply filiation to a tree. Though these names became conventional, they express what had once been a living belief. Names borrowed directly from trees are also found?Eburos or Ebur, "yew," Derua or Deruacus, "oak," etc.
I'm not equipped to evaluate the linguistic evidence, but some of the tree names mentioned by MacCulloch can be recognized in Fergus Kelly, "The Old Irish Tree-List," Celtica 11 (1976) 107?124. Kelly's article (which I haven't seen) is summarized here as follows:
Identifies the 28 trees and shrubs listed in the eighth-century legal tract Bretha comaithchesa, which are divided into four groups of seven: 1. airig fedo 'nobles of the wood': daur 'oak', coll 'hazel', cuilenn 'holly', ibar 'yew', uinnius 'ash', ochtach 'Scots pine?', aball 'wild apple-tree'; 2. aithig fedo 'commoners of the wood': fern 'alder', sail ?willow?, sc? 'whitehorn, hawthorn', c?erthann 'rowan, mountain ash', beithe 'birch', lem 'elm', idath 'wild cherry?'; 3. fodla fedo 'lower divisions of the wood': draigen 'blackthorn', trom 'elder, bore-tree', f?orus 'spindle-tree', findcholl 'whitebeam?', caithne; 'arbutus, strawberry tree', crithach 'aspen', crann fir 'juniper?'; 4. losa fedo 'bushes of the wood': raith 'bracken', rait 'bog-myrtle', aiten 'gorse, furze', dris 'bramble, blackberry', fr?ech 'heather', gilcach 'broom?', sp?n 'wild rose?'. Also includes brief discussion of lecla and a?n, variant names for 'rushes', and native trees and shrubs not included in the four classes.
Related to ibar 'yew' and lem 'elm' in the Old Irish tree-list are the names of the Eburovices or Yew-Warriors (a Celtic tribe in the vicinity of modern ?vreux in Eure) and the Lemovices or Elm-Warriors (a Celtic tribe in the vicinity of modern Limoges in Haute-Vienne). On the suffix -vices see Bernhard Maier, Kleines Lexikon der Namen und W?rter keltischen Ursprungs, 3rd ed. ( Munich: C.H. Beck, 2010), p. 80, who cites D. Ellis Evans, Gaulish Personal Names: A Study of Some Continental Celtic Formations (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1967), pp. 281-285, and Xavier Delamarre, Dictionnaire de la langue galoise (Paris: Errance, 2001), p. 267.

Condos vs Houses, Which one is Right for You? ? Pranab Roy

The Geography Factor
Some areas, especially rural areas, simply do not possess a significant quantity of condominiums to make that option a viable consideration. Other areas, just like Completely new York or other densely populated urban areas provide a short supply of single-family houses. Suburban markets just like Huntington Seaside present a wide selection of alternatives for both homes and condos. Presently there are approximately an equal number of houses and condos for sale in the Huntington Seaside real estate market. An extra geographic factor to bear in mind is proximity to work, shopping and schools. Senior citizens who no longer drive can be much happier in a condo close to every little thing than in a single-family house in a secluded area.

Lifestyle Factors

The choice between a condo and a home is influenced by your stage of life. A young couple, just starting out and with limited funds and no plans for starting a family may find a condo the better option. A property might be just the ticket, also, for the empty nesters who look forward to a place with less maintenance and yard work. The single-family home option has strong appeal to families in the little one raising stage of life. A detached home with a yard and maybe even a pool has benefits for families with children who require room to play. Apart from family size, sometimes attitudes towards upkeep, maintenance and yard work will factor in the decision to purchase a house or a condo. Another factor to bear in mind is amenities. Some condo complexes provide swimming pools and possibly tennis courts that may be very difficult to afford when buying a single-family house.

Investment Probable

Condos and single-family houses both respond to market conditions. When pricing is rising they both appreciate in value. When prices fall, both lose value. On the whole, in a suburban area such as Huntington Seaside, condos tend to be less expensive to purchase than single-family homes but both respond to market imbalances. Such as, in the Huntington Beach real estate market since the first of the year 279 single-family houses have sold. The average sales amount was $704,638. The maximum price range for a house sold during that period was $3,500,000 and the minimum sales expense was $240,000. During that same period, 180 condominiums sold for an average cost of $347,917. The maximum price range for a condo sold during that period was =$1,175,000 and the minimum amount was $60,000. These figures show an incredible variety in both homes and condos with each offering high-end, moderate and low cost options. For individuals that can not think of $240,000 for a home as being low price , don?t forget that Huntington Beach is right on the coast in Southern California.

Georgette Adanas has been writing articles or reviews on Huntington Beach condos for sale since 2000.

The challenge of a cross country Relationship

Lots of people are in conflict with regards to their lives together and the stresses of doing well in their chosen profession. These folks have spent several years attempting to create both a solid partnership and a career. However, the two typically conflict with one another. In many scenario the career calls for relocation over lengthy distances and for an extended time frame. This being the situation the particular couples need to attempt to balance job and their lover for each other. This is where the long distance challenge begins. The term challenge has the connotation of something that may fail, but no-one thinks of that part of the equation.

For additional information on Long-distance relationships check out Business Consulting in Fort Collins

Long distance love just isn?t an easy dilemma to work through. Indeed ?Absence of the heart can make the heart grow founder?, but it?s typically for the single males and females in each ones perspective locale. The truth actually is ?out of sight out of mind? and we can neglect our long distance love. Therefore, if the two individuals are not willing to encounter severe hardship with all the temptations of the separation trouble for the partnership is likely. The pit falls most likely to destroy love is time, work, and accessibility of sexy attractive, available and also willing singles that will overwhelm good intentions and love.

What to do when long-distance separates men and women? The first thing that is a must is committing to the commitment. Everyone undergos ups and downs and it?s in the down times that people become vulnerable to temptations simply because they feel unloved and also unfulfilled. People who understand that these moment really are a natural part of a long term commitment and get through the difficulties without straying off path become better in their romantic relationship. There isn?t any opportunity to do face to face conversations, or to touch, or offer peace of mind when distance is involved. Hence the pair must Skype, Phone, as well as email to maintain the contact and even when it?s easier not to.

It is important to have a sense of belonging to each other with obvious reminders. Every time a pair is together as well as work in the same area they live life as a couple. With distance the thought of a couple disappears quickly. Thus, it is crucial to keep the others position in the living and work area with such things as pictures, and mementos of a lifetime together. Men and women around these types of couples subsequently view a couple, not just a single person who is available for a romantic relationship. Usually people accept the things they see and hear, therefore it is up to the long distance lovers to supply this type of ambiance for co-workers and also friends. The illustration showing each persons lover for the other allows support from co-workers and also friends.

These are simple tenants to keep a long distance love going. Other considerations are relevant and have to be looked at, however these initial concepts make it clear exactly what the demands will be going forward.
