5 1: Introduction Congratulations on the purchase of your new Load Balancer. The Load Balancer provides Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users. Figure 1-1: Load Balancer Internet Features Shared Broadband Internet Access All LAN users can access the Internet through the Load Balancer, by sharing one (1) or two (2) Broadband modems and connections. High-Performance Dual Modem Support The Load Balancer has two (2) WAN ports, allowing connection of two (2) Broadband modems. This gives twice the bandwidth of a single modem. Flexible configuration allows each port to use a different type of modem and connection method. Also, you can determine how the Internet traffic is shared between the 2 modems. Supports all common Connection Methods All popular DSL and Cable Modems and connection methods are supported, including Fixed IP, Dynamic IP, PPPoE, and PPTP. PPPoE Session Management Multiple PPPoE sessions are supported and you can choose to map sessions to individual PCs if desired. Page 1
6 Multiple IP Address Support If your ISP allocates you multiple IP addresses, these are also supported and you can map IP addresses to individual PCs if desired. Special Applications This feature allows you to use some non-standard applications, where the port number used for the response is different to the port number used by the sender. Virtual Servers This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. For standard servers such as Web, FTP or servers, only the IP address of the server PC is required. You can also define you own Server types if required. Multiple DMZ A "DMZ" PC will receive incoming connection requests, which would otherwise be blocked. For each IP address allocated by your ISP, a separate "DMZ" PC can be specified. So if your ISP has given you multiple IP addresses, you can have multiple DMZ PCs. Each DMZ PC has unrestricted 2-way Internet access, providing the ability to run programs that are otherwise incompatible with NAT routers like the Load Balancer. Access Filter The network Administrator can use the Access Filter to gain fine control over the Internet access and applications available to LAN users. Five (5) user groups are available, and each group can have different access rights. Block URL Use this feature to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users. You can even have different settings for different groups of PCs. Session Limit With Session Limit feature, if the numbers of new sessions for system exceed the maximum in the sampling time, any new session in the system will be drop. System Filter Exception With firewall exception, the packets will not be processed by firewall or NAT module, but be processed directly by system protocol stack. Page 2
7 Other Features 4-Port Switching Hub The Load Balancer incorporates a 4-port 10 /100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN. DHCP Server Support Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Load Balancer can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN. Multi Segment LAN Support LANs containing one or more segments are supported, via The Load Balancer's built-in static routing table. ARP proxy The ARP proxy feature allows you to assign an external (Internet) IP address to The Load Balancer's LAN port. This allows Servers on your LAN to have external (Internet) IP addresses. Easy Setup Use your favorite WEB browser for configuration. Remote Management The Load Balancer can be managed from any PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet. Password - protected Configuration Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings. HTTP Firmware Upgrade and backup The web management feature allows you to use HTTP upgrade new firmware and backup system configuration from local or even from remote site. As long as you enable Remote upgrade and Remote web-based setup from Advanced feature web page. Alert It will send a warning to the system administrator, if one of the WAN ports was disconnected when both WAN ports are enabled. Syslog It can generate real time system information on the web page or a particular machine. It is useful to monitor the device. QoS Configuration. This function will make some specified packets with higher priority for pass-through. Especially you use real-time applications like Internet phone, video conference,. etc. UPnP To Enable UpnP (Universal Plug & Play), the load balancer will become one of the network devices. It is useful to discovery and control network devices, such as Internet gateway. Page 3

12 2: Basic Setup Overview Basic Setup of your Load Balancer involves the following steps: 1. Attach The Load Balancer to one (1) PC, and configure it for your LAN. 2. Install your Load Balancer in your LAN, and connect the Broadband Modem or Modems. 3. Configure your Load Balancer for Internet Access. 4. Configure PCs on your LAN to use The Load Balancer. Requirements One (1) or two (2) DSL or Cable modems, each with an Internet Access account with an ISP. Network cables. Use standard 10/100BaseT network (UTP) cables with RJ45 connectors TCP/IP network protocol must be installed on all PCs. Procedure 1: Configuring The Load Balancer for your LAN 1. Use a standard LAN cable to connect your PC to any Hub port on The Load Balancer. 2. Connect the power adapter and power up The Load Balancer. Only use the power adapter provided; using a different one may cause hardware damage. 3. Start your PC. If your PC is already running, restart it. It will then obtain an IP address from The Load Balancer. 4. Start your WEB browser. 5. In the Address or Location box enter: 6. You will be prompted for the User Name and password, as shown below. Figure 2-1: Password Dialog 7. Enter admin for the "User Name" and leave the "Password" blank. The "User Name" is always admin Page 8
13 You can and should set a password, using the following Admin Password screen. No Response? Is your PC using a Fixed IP address? If so, you must configure your PC to use an IP address within the range to , with a Network Mask of See Appendix B Windows TCP/IP Setup for details. Check that The Load Balancer is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered ON. 8. After the login, you will then see the Admin Password screen, as shown below. Assign a password by entering it in the "Password" and "Verify Fields. Figure 2-2: Home Screen (Admin Password) Page 9
14 9. Select LAN & DHCP from the menu. You will see a screen like the example below. Figure 2-3: LAN & DHCP 10. Ensure these settings are suitable for your LAN: The default settings are suitable for many situations. See the following table for details of each setting. 11. Save your data, then go to Step 2, Installing The Load Balancer in your LAN. Settings LAN & DHCP IP Address Subnet Mask DHCP Server Configuration IP address for The Load Balancer, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN. The default value is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN segment to which The Load Balancer is attached (the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment). DHCP Server Setup - If Enabled, The Load Balancer will allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default and recommended value is "Enable". (Windows systems, by default, act as DHCP clients. This setting is called Obtain an IP address automatically.) Page 10
15 DHCP IP Address Range ARP Proxy LAN Any IP Setup DHCP Client List DHCP Server Setup - If you are already using a DHCP Server, the DHCP Server setting must be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be set to provide the IP address of The Load Balancer as the Default Gateway. Client Lease Time It is a finite period of time for a DHCP server lease an IP address to a client.. Client Default DNS An IP address of the default DNS server for the client requesting DHCP service. Offered Range fields set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of DHCP clients supported. Free Entries indicates how many DHCP entries are not currently allocated, and still available. Enable this ONLY if the LAN port has an IP address in the same address range as the WAN port(s). This means that all PCs using this Gateway must have valid fixed external (Internet) IP addresses. If enabled, enter the IP address range used on your LAN. By default is disabled. If you enable LAN Any IP, that means no matter what static IP address hold on the client (your PC). The client has do not need to change the IP address, even though it has different IP segment than LAN segment. It still can access Internet through NAT. This table shows the IP addresses which have been allocated by the DHCP Server function. For each address which has been allocated, the following information is shown. Name The "hostname" of the PC. In some cases, this may not be known. MAC Address The physical address (network adapter address) of the PC. IP Address The IP address allocated to this PC. Type Indicates IP address to be dynamic or static. Status If Dynamic, the IP address was allocated by this DHCP Server. If Sniffed, the IP address was detected by examining the LAN, rather than allocated by the DHCP Server. In this case, the Name is usually not known. Time Left The time expired since which IP address is leased. Page 11
16 2. Installing The Load Balancer in your LAN Figure 2-4: Installation Diagram 1. Ensure The Load Balancer and the DSL/Cable modem are powered OFF. Leave the modem or modems connected to their data line. 2. Connect the Broadband modem or modems to The Load Balancer. If using only one (1) Broadband modem, connect it to the "WAN 1" port. Use the cable supplied with your DSL/Cable modem. If no cable was supplied, use a standard cable. 3. Use standard LAN cables to connect PCs to the Switching Hub ports on The Load Balancer. Both 10BaseT and 100BaseT connections can be used simultaneously. If you need to connect The Load Balancer to another Hub, just use a standard LAN cable to connect any port on The Load Balancer to a standard port on another hub. Any LAN port on The Load Balancer will automatically act as an "Uplink" port when required. 4. Power Up Power on the Cable or DSL modem or modems. Connect the supplied power adapter to The Load Balancer and power up. 5. Check the LEDs The Power LED should be ON. The WAN Link LED should be ON, if the corresponding WAN port is connected to a broadband modem. The Error LED will flash during start up, but will then turn Off. If it stays On, there is an error condition. Page 12
17 For each PC connected to the LAN ports, the corresponding LAN LED (either 10 or 100) should be ON. 3. Configuring The Load Balancer for Internet Access Select Primary Setup from the menu, to see a screen like the example below. Configure WAN 1 and/or WAN 2 as required.

Load Balance screen is only functional if you are using both WAN ports. It allows you to determine the proportion of WAN traffic sent through each port. Advanced PPPoE setup is required if you wish to use multiple sessions on one or both of the WAN ports. It can also be used to manually connect or disconnect a PPPoE session. Otherwise, this screen can be ignored. Advanced PPTP setup is required if using the PPTP connection method. Port Options Figure 3-1: Port Options Page 19
24 Settings Port Options Connection Validation Health Check Disable will not do Alive Indicator Check. By default health check is enable. Health checking is performing an ICMP echo request and HTTP packets to the specific destination that could be either: 1. Name or IP Address user specified in the Alive Indicator input box or gateway of WAN interface if Alive Indicator input box is left blank. Alive Indicator This is the IP address used to check if the WAN connection is operating. The Load Balancer will contact this system to check if the WAN connection is working. Change this address if you wish. Default is the gateway IP. Note: This is not used for PPPoE connections. MTU The Maximum Transmission Unit for the Ethernet data. It is used to determining the packet size to be used on the WAN interface. Normally, this does not need to be changed, but if your ISP advises you to use a particular MTU, enter it here. PPPoE / PPTP Connection Options Transparent Bridge Option Auto Dialup If set to Enable a connection will be established whenever outgoing WAN traffic is detected. If not Enabled, you must establish a connection manually. Auto Disconnect This determines when an idle connection will be terminated. Enter the required time period. Echo Time This determines how often an Echo request is sent to the PPPoE server. The Echo request is used to determine if the connection is still valid. Normally, there is no need to change the default value. Echo Retry The number of time the Echo request will be sent, if there is no response to the first request. Normally, there is no need to change the default value. Bridge Mode If set to Enable, this WAN port doesn t use NAT & Load Balance function when LAN/WAN IP have the real IP addresses on the same network segment. NetBIOS Broadcast This will allow you access files through Microsoft network neighborhood. If you enable the NetBIOS Broadcast. Traffic Management Strict Binding: traffic from bridge hosts(eg. transparent to wan1) can only go thru that specified wan(eg. wan1) interface. Loose Binding: traffic from bridge hosts(eg. transparent to wan1) can go thru alternative wan(eg. wan2) interface when bind interface (eg. wan1) is down, it's acting like a fail over mechanism for transparent bridge mode. Load Balancing: Traffic from bridge hosts(eg. transparent to wan1) can go thru either wan(eg. wan1 or wan2) interface based on loading mechanism specified in the load balance section, it's acting like a load balancing mechanism for transparent bridge mode. ARP Table ARP table is used by the device to determine the bridge hosts location ( eg, inside/outside wan and which wan) its size can be adjusted if needed. Page 20
25 Load Balance This screen is only operational if using Internet connections on both WAN ports. Figure 3-2: Load Balance These settings are only functional if using both WAN ports. If using both WAN ports, these settings determine the proportion of traffic sent over each port. Page 21

The Urbandale, IA Job Market
Shopping around for terrific jobs in Urbandale, IA? Urbandale, IA, derived from 2013 official statistics, contains a population of approximately 41,800. $83,000 is the average household earnings level for the city of Urbandale, IA, determined by BLS data details from somewhere around 2013 Urbandale's cost of living, since 2013, was almost 91 out of 100, which happens to be lower when compared to the nationwide average.
Yet another detail which could be really important to be informed of is the fact that, as of 2014, the city of Urbandale had an unemployment rate of around 3.4%. That is lower than the United States average unemployment ratio, as of the later part of 2015. This can be worthwhile pondering if you'll be searching for employment throughout the city, reside some place else and are searching in close by cities, or if you're searching for cities well worth relocating to, which also have outstanding job choices.

You're looking to get fit but you're too cash-strapped for an expensive gym contract? If you've got a willing partner, sexercise might just be what you're looking for.
According to a report in the Daily Mail 76% of women would include a night-time romp into their schedules if they thought it would help them burn calories. About two-thirds of women who do have gym memberships said they were happier to do activities such as sex or even vacuuming if they thought it would burn as many calories as an exercise workout.
According to Kerry McCloskey, author of 'The Ultimate Sex Diet', a half-our sex session will burn up to 150 to 250 calories, and up to 350 calories depending on how active you are.
Celebrities such as Kim Catrall and Mel B list sexercise as one of their top diet tips.
Sex is good for you
Not only will regular sexercise get you into shape it will also improve your overall health. Sex has a host of health benefits.
- Sex
relieves stress, according to Scottish researchers people who have regular sex
handle stress better
- It helps
increase blood flow to the brain and other organs.
- During
intercourse oxytocin is released which helps alleviate pain.
- It boosts
immunity, researchers found that people who have sex once or twice a week have
higher levels of an antibody called immunoglobulin A which helps protect
against colds and flu
- It
improves heart health, researchers found that having sex twice or more times a
week reduces the risk of a fatal heart attack by half
- Frequent
ejaculation in 20-something men may reduce the risk of prostate cancer later in
- It
strengthens the pelvic floor muscles in women. During sex doing a few Kegel
exercises increases pleasure and also reduces the risk of incontinence later in

Exercises to try
If you feel a bit intimidated by the above positions try some of these exercises first to help strength your muscles.
Pelvic bridges - Lie with your back flat
against the ground, and your abdominals pulled in tightly. Bend your legs so
that they are at right angles to the ground. Your arms should be resting at
your sides. Raise your pelvis and lower back vertebra-by-vertebra, keeping your
back straight and abdominals contracted. Contract your buttock (gluteal)
muscles tightly. Hold this position for 5 seconds and then slowly lower.
The ab crunch - Lie flat on an exercise
mat, knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Cup your hands at the sides of
your head or cross your arms on your chest. Use your abdominal muscles to lift
the upper body closer to the legs. Return slowly to the original starting
position. Repeat the exercise.
Abduction - Lie on your side, with your
lower leg bent and your upper leg extended in line with your hips. Rest on your
upper arm to lift your upper torso off the ground. Tighten the muscles of the
front of the thigh (quadriceps) of both legs. Lift your upper leg from the
floor and hold for 5 seconds. Feel the tightness in the outer thigh (abductor).
Lower to the starting position.
Tricep extension - Sit on a bench, and
grasp a dumbbell in both hands. Hold the weight directly behind your head,
upper arms perpendicular to the floor.
Squats with dumbbells - Stand in an upright
position, feet shoulder-width apart, with a dumbbell in each hand, arms
extended at your sides. Your knees should be slightly bent and your torso
should have a slight forward lean. Squat down, keeping your shins close to
perpendicular to the floor, until your thighs are approximately parallel to the
floor. Look forwards, leaning your upper torso slightly forward. Stand up and
return to the starting position, pushing your hips in and your head up.

The Lucknow Police stealthily whisked away Sahara chief Subrata Roy from a forest department guesthouse at Kukrail picnic spot Monday afternoon for his production before the Supreme Court Tuesday.
The SC had issued a non-bailable warrant against Roy for defying summons.
As the mediapersons waited at the main gate of the guesthouse, where Roy was lodged since Friday night after his arrest, the police slipped out of the rear gate with the Sahara chief and left for Delhi by road.
Earlier, Additional Superintendent of Police (Trans-Gomti) Habibul Hasan reached the picnic spot around 12 pm. A Scorpio was brought around 1 pm, apparently to fetch Roy.

Around an hour later, Gomti Nagar station house officer Ajit Singh Chauhan reached the picnic spot.
Congress leader Ammar Rizvi, too, had arrived to meet Roy. He went inside around 1.30 pm and left in half-an-hour.
Rizvi said he had come as "his friend is in trouble". "But I could not get a chance to meet him. I have left my name outside his room," he said later.
BJP MLA from Deoria Janmejaya Singh and another BJP leader Mahendra Yadav, too, came to see the Sahara chief as he belonged to their "area" (Gorakhpur). The duo were denied entry.
Around 3 pm, ASP Hasan exited from the main gate. Soon, information came that the policemen have left with Roy from the rear gate of the guesthouse even as security remained at the main gate.
A little later, labourers were seen in the garden. Reporters went inside only to find the guesthouse locked.
Lucknow Range DIG Navniet Sekera said Roy was taken to Delhi by road via Kanpur and Agra. He said they will reach Delhi late night and stay at any guesthouse in Delhi or the National Capital Region.
A police team led by SHO Chauhan is learnt to have accompanied Roy.
While Sekera declined to disclose the location where Roy will be lodged, he said he will be taken to the Supreme Court Tuesday at 10 am.
Roy had Friday surrendered before the Lucknow Police and was arrested in connection with the contempt case arising out of two of his companies failing to refund a staggering Rs 20,000 crore to investors.

ULAN UDE, September 15. /TASS/. The water level at Lake Baikal, the world's largest freshwater source, having dropped to critical marks in April, may fall by another 28 centimetres next spring, the head of the Baikal Institute told TASS on Tuesday.
"This year, the lake's water level fell to 455.86 metres in April. In the spring of 2016 it may drop by 28 centimetres to 455.58 metres," Yendon Garmayev said.
Decline of the south Siberian lake's level began last autumn and reached its critical mark in spring for the first time in decades. Scientists explain the phenomenon by low water inflow from the Selenga, Upper Angara, Barguzin and other rivers draining directly into the world's deepest lake.
Lake Baikal, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1996, contains 20% of the world's freshwater reserves.

The jelly and air in the bottle are sterilized in a large pressure cooker. The work area ( table top, clean box and even the air in the room) are disinfected with a number of house hold chemicals such as rubbing alcohol & Lysol. Lastly the seeds are sterilized in diluted bleach and or hydrogen peroxide.
So far I have had very low rate of contamination, and the one that did get contaminated was a ceph root ( which I had guessed from the begging would not be sterile).

Basel coach Murat Yakin admits he has held talks with Spurs [20 minutes]
Basel may not have qualified for the Champions League knockout rounds but two wins over Chelsea will likely have impressed Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy.
Murat Yakin, who master minded a penalty shoot-out win over Spurs in the Europa League last season, has admitted today that he has held talks with the north London side about succeeding Andre Villas-Boas, according to Swiss website 20 minutes.
In October, Lazio were interested in bringing Yakin to Rome but he has denied any discussions with the Serie A side and revealed that there have been talks with Spurs.
Yakin is quoted as saying: "I had no contact with Lazio, but with Tottenham, yes."
To add further fuel to the rumours, Tottenham Technical Director Franco Baldini was spotted at some of Basel's Champions League games, where he was reportedly checking out the form of Egyptian right winger Mohamed Salah.
20 minutes add that Basel are going through a rocky spell after coming third in Group E of the Champions League.
Yakin's contract expires at the end of the season which could make him a realistic candidate should Tim Sherwood fail to impress as Spurs interim coach.
If Yakin was to take over at White Hart Lane, there will be many comparisons with former Swiss boss Christian Gross who was appointed by Alan Sugar as Spurs boss in 1997 and only lasted nine months.

An expanded "DNA alphabet" could carry more information than natural DNA, potentially coding for a much wider range of molecules and enabling a variety of powerful applications, from precise molecular probes and nanomachines to useful new life forms.
The new study, which appears in the June 3, 2012 issue of Nature Chemical Biology, solves the mystery of how a previously identified pair of artificial DNA bases can go through the DNA replication process almost as efficiently as the four natural bases.
"We now know that the efficient replication of our unnatural base pair isn't a fluke, and also that the replication process is more flexible than had been assumed," said Floyd E. Romesberg, associate professor at Scripps Research, principal developer of the new DNA bases, and a senior author of the new study. The Romesberg laboratory collaborated on the new study with the laboratory of co-senior author Andreas Marx at the University of Konstanz in Germany, and the laboratory of Tammy J. Dwyer at the University of San Diego.
Adding to the DNA Alphabet
Romesberg and his lab have been trying to find a way to extend the DNA alphabet since the late 1990s. In 2008, they developed the efficiently replicating bases NaM and 5SICS, which come together as a complementary base pair within the DNA helix, much as, in normal DNA, the base adenine (A) pairs with thymine (T), and cytosine (C) pairs with guanine (G).
The following year, Romesberg and colleagues showed that NaM and 5SICS could be efficiently transcribed into RNA in the lab dish. But these bases' success in mimicking the functionality of natural bases was a bit mysterious. They had been found simply by screening thousands of synthetic nucleotide-like molecules for the ones that were replicated most efficiently. And it had been clear immediately that their chemical structures lack the ability to form the hydrogen bonds that join natural base pairs in DNA. Such bonds had been thought to be an absolute requirement for successful DNA replication —a process in which a large enzyme, DNA polymerase, moves along a single, unwrapped DNA strand and stitches together the opposing strand, one complementary base at a time.
An early structural study of a very similar base pair in double-helix DNA added to Romesberg's concerns. The data strongly suggested that NaM and 5SICS do not even approximate the edge-to-edge geometry of natural base pairs—termed the Watson-Crick geometry, after the co-discoverers of the DNA double-helix. Instead, they join in a looser, overlapping, "intercalated" fashion. "Their pairing resembles a 'mispair,' such as two identical bases together, which normally wouldn't be recognized as a valid base pair by the DNA polymerase," said Denis Malyshev, a graduate student in Romesberg's lab who was lead author along with Karin Betz of Marx's lab.
Yet in test after test, the NaM-5SICS pair was efficiently replicable. "We wondered whether we were somehow tricking the DNA polymerase into recognizing it," said Romesberg. "I didn't want to pursue the development of applications until we had a clearer picture of what was going on during replication."
Edge to Edge
To get that clearer picture, Romesberg and his lab turned to Dwyer's and Marx's laboratories, which have expertise in finding the atomic structures of DNA in complex with DNA polymerase. Their structural data showed plainly that the NaM-5SICS pair maintain an abnormal, intercalated structure within double-helix DNA—but remarkably adopt the normal, edge-to-edge, "Watson-Crick" positioning when gripped by the polymerase during the crucial moments of DNA replication.
"The DNA polymerase apparently induces this unnatural base pair to form a structure that's virtually indistinguishable from that of a natural base pair," said Malyshev.
NaM and 5SICS, lacking hydrogen bonds, are held together in the DNA double-helix by "hydrophobic" forces, which cause certain molecular structures (like those found in oil) to be repelled by water molecules, and thus to cling together in a watery medium. "It's very possible that these hydrophobic forces have characteristics that enable the flexibility and thus the replicability of the NaM-5SICS base pair," said Romesberg. "Certainly if their aberrant structure in the double helix were held together by more rigid covalent bonds, they wouldn't have been able to pop into the correct structure during DNA replication."
An Arbitrary Choice?
The finding suggests that NaM-5SICS and potentially other, hydrophobically bound base pairs could some day be used to extend the DNA alphabet. It also hints that Evolution's choice of the existing four-letter DNA alphabet—on this planet—may have been somewhat arbitrary. "It seems that life could have been based on many other genetic systems," said Romesberg.
He and his laboratory colleagues are now trying to optimize the basic functionality of NaM and 5SICS, and to show that these new bases can work alongside natural bases in the DNA of a living cell.
"If we can get this new base pair to replicate with high efficiency and fidelity in vivo, we'll have a semi-synthetic organism," Romesberg said. "The things that one could do with that are pretty mind blowing."
The other contributors to the paper, "KlenTaq polymerase replicates unnatural base pairs by inducing a Watson-Crick geometry," are Thomas Lavergne of the Romesberg lab, Wolfram Welte and Kay Diederichs of the Marx lab, and Phillip Ordoukhanian of the Center for Protein and Nucleic Acid Research at The Scripps Research Institute.
The study was supported in part by a grant from the National Institutes of Health.
