1). Passing Your CCNA and CCNP: Configuring And Troubleshooting Router-On-A-Stick By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
For CCNA and CCNP candidates, it's hard not to laugh the first time you hear the phrase "router on a stick". Let's face it, that's a pretty silly term. But as those who have passed the CCNA and CCNP exams know, this is a vital exam topic that you must know how to configure and troubleshoot. Basic Cisco theory states that for hosts in different VLANs to communicate, a Layer 3 device must be involved to handle the routing between the VLANs.

2). Cisco CCNA / CCNP / BCMSN Exam Review: Trunking And Trunking Protocols By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
To earn your CCNA or CCNP certification, you've got to understand the basics of trunking. This isn't just a CCNA topic - you must have an advanced understanding of trunking and etherchannels to pass the BCMSN exam and earn your CCNP as well. Before we address those advanced topics, though, you need to master the fundamentals! A trunk allows inter-VLAN traffic to flow between directly connected switches.

3). Cisco CCNA Certification: How And Why Switches Trunk By : Chris Bryant, CCIE #12933
Your CCNA studies are going to include quite a bit of information about switches, and for good reason. if you don't understand basic switching theory, you can't configure and troubleshoot Cisco switches, either on the CCNA exam or in the real world. That goes double for trunking! Trunking is simply enabling two or more switches to communicate and send frames to each other for transmission to remote hosts.

4). How Did ISL Uranium Mining Begin? By : James E. Finch
It’s time to rewrite the history books. In Situ Leach Mining (ISL), or Solution Mining, was not first commercially started in Bruni, Texas in 1973 by Westinghouse, a consortium of oil companies and others. The birthplace of ISL was never South Texas, as some have claimed. It was begun in Wyoming, about 16 years before an ISL operation was started in Texas.

7). How to Evaluate an ISL Uranium Company By : James E. Finch
Over the past two years, the common myth circulated among investors has been “pounds in the ground.” How many pounds of U3O8 does a company have in the ground? The more pounds a company claims, and more importantly gets institutions and investors to believe, the higher its market capitalization has run. Bigger is always better in most cases, but recovering uranium through an ISL operation, like any other mining operation, has its quirks.

9). What Is ISL Uranium Mining? By : James Finch
In situ leach mining (ISL), also known as in-situ mining or solution mining, was first used as a means to extract low grades of uranium from ore in underground mines. First used in Wyoming in the 1950s, originally as a low production experiment at the Lucky June mine, it became a high-production, low cost method of fulfilling Atomic Energy Commission uranium requirements at Utah Construction Company’s Shirley Basin mining operations in the 1960s. Pioneered through the efforts...
