Cross Menai Straits Bridge - Beautiful Anglesey Coastal Views From Classic Bridge by Telford
by
David M Phillips
The famous Menai Straits Bridge and road crossing to Anglesey was built by Thomas Telford, whose 250th anniversary was recently celebrated by the island. It is difficult to estimate the huge task facing Telford and his engineers as they planned what was a bold feat of engineering and a novel construction for its day, across what is a very tidal stretch of water. This is a must-see attraction and you can also walk along the Anglesey Coastal path below.

Naval Sea Mine Detonation System for Straits of Hormuz
by
Lance Winslow
One of the big concerns of military planners and those in the Pentagon is that if there is a war with Iran, yes, there's no doubt we will win it, and probably quite decisively, which is a very scary thought for such a proud nation with strong nationalism like Iran - but the concern is that Iran might plant naval sea mines in the Straits of Hormuz. This is where some 60% of the global oil resources travel through. It would have a terrible global economic effect, and it would send fuel prices sky high in the US, well everywhere...

Dire Straits' Mark Knopfler and His Nashville Connections
by
Susan Dagostino
Mark Knopfler, of Dire Straits fame, and Nashville seem to have a reciprocal relationship going on. As a child, Mark idolized the late guitar genius Chet Akins (one of Nashville's most prolific musicians and producers), and in the mid-1980s they even became friends and recording partners. Through this relationship, Knopfler met many, many more talented Nashville musicians.

Susan Dagostino
Although the song "Sultans of Swing" might have introduced the world to Mark Knopfler's band Dire Straits back in the late 1970s, it was a cynical little song about music videos that captivated the world back in 1985 and shot their "Brothers in Arms" album into the musical sales stratosphere. The song was called "Money for Nothing." Learn more about the song and some interesting trivia right here.
