Army, Corvias Leaders Tour Fort Meade Installation Improvements
For more than 25 years, Corvias has partnered with the Army to deliver resilient, future-ready infrastructure that supports mission success, promotes wellness, and builds strong communities. At Fort Meade, that partnership is now accelerating upgrades that include interior housing renovations, energy efficiency upgrades, and indoor environmental quality enhancements.
'Our responsibility is to ensure the Army's installation infrastructure is positioned to support readiness, resilience, and long-term sustainability,' said David Dentino, Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Army for Installations, Housing, and Partnerships. 'That means driving policies and partnerships that modernize housing, improve energy security, and strengthen our ability to adapt to future needs. By leveraging private-sector expertise, we can deliver better outcomes for Soldiers and their families, while stewarding resources wisely and efficiently.'
Nearly all of Fort Meade's approximately 3,000 homes will be touched by one of three key improvement initiatives – all of which are on-time or ahead of schedule:
Project Homestead – A renovation-based development plan focused on improving neighborhoods – particularly older homes – to ensure they meet resident needs. Upgrades include modernized kitchens and bathrooms, new appliances, upgraded lighting and plumbing fixtures, new flooring, and reconfigured floor plans.
Energy Upgrades – More than 50% of Fort Meade's family housing will receive advanced energy systems, including the replacement of aging HVAC and hot water systems with high-efficiency ground source heat pumps.
Wellness at Home – An expansion of indoor wellness-focused enhancements to family housing, including water filtration, air purification, humidity control, and circadian lighting to support occupant health and readiness.
The $163 million investment began in January 2025 and is scheduled to continue through 2029. During the visit, leaders reviewed renovations, installations, and geothermal drilling—marking visible momentum in support of Army infrastructure goals.
'We're building the installation of the future by aligning with the Army's priorities and investing in what truly matters – resilience, readiness, and quality of life,' said Denise Hauck, Corvias Department of Defense President. 'Through smart infrastructure, energy diversification, and wellness-centered design, we're creating environments that not only support today's Soldiers and their families but are ready for tomorrow's missions. Our holistic, forward-looking approach ensures each installation is a stable, sustainable platform for Army success.'

Back to school season is here — I've picked 9 must-have essentials for your dorm from $17
Moving to college is a huge deal and bringing the essentials to your dorm room will make that transition a whole lot easier. Fortunately, in the lead up to college season, huge retailers like Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart and more are happy to offer some excellent deals to help with the move. But, with a mega offering of deals to sift through, it can be a little overwhelming to firstly pick what you want/need for your dorm room and then find the best deals. That's where I've put in the hard work for you. When I moved to college, I armed myself with some curated items (mainly with the lack of space in mind) and I've looked through all the deals to find the 9 deals I'd absolutely recommend buying right now from the Keurig K-Mini Mate for just $49 at Target to the Sony WF-C710N wireless buds for $88 at Amazon. Because what you'll really appreciate is decent active noise-cancellation to help relax or focus and slimline kit to fit into your new space. So, get yourself settled fast with these amazing deals and save yourself some money for books (psst, nights out) now. Socket space might be hard to come by in your dorm room and when you don't fancy a battle, you can turn to a trusty portable charging bank. Plus, it's great for on-the-go, too. It's super thin and super fast with enough power to charge your essentials from smartphones to tablets. Avoid running out of battery by packing up this lightweight piece of kit, just 6.9oz. When an overhead light is too anti-social but you've still got papers to write and books to read, this LED desk lamp is the perfect slimline solution and right now, it's $11 off. With five lighting modes and five brightness levels, you can adjust it to match your needs without taking up too much space. If you fancy it in Black though, you'll need to pay one dollar more. The Roku Streaming Stick Plus 2025 is the latest upgrade in Roku's lineup, replacing the previous Express 4K Plus. This newer model is smaller, faster, and more powerful, offering stunning 4K HDR and Dolby Vision streaming. With improved Wi-Fi and access to thousands of channels, it's one of the best Roku devices right now. Short on space? No problem. Keurig's smallest coffee maker ever will fit nicely into your dorm room. And, if a quick cup of coffee is what keeps you going, but you don't want to spend cafe prices, the K-Mini Mate is an excellent buy. Using single-serve pods, you pop it in, press a button and you're sorted. Now at $30 off with money saving potential all year round. The Ultimate Ears Miniroll is our top cheap pick amongst the best Bluetooth speakers, and now it's even cheaper. It's very compact and portable, as well as producing solid sound considering its miniature size. Plus, the rugged design is durable and can survive being carted around across campus. And there's a decent battery life of 16 hours to boot, all for just $49. Moving to college doesn't mean you have to give up the luxury of having snacks and drinks at hand, especially with the Frigidaire Retro Mini Fridge installed. It's stylish and compact, but still makes room for up to 15 cans or 10 liters of your favorite beverages. It's also 'whisper-quiet', so it won't bother those around you while it's keeping your items cool. The Sony WF-C710N are our budget heroes, taking the top spot for value in our best wireless earbuds guide. And fortunately, even though they're budget-priced, they still boast highly effective ANC which is a really good feature to have in your dorm. When you need to zone out and lock in, these buds have up to 33.5 hours of battery life and are extremely comfortable for long-term wear. This Beats Pill is a redesigned version of the original with improved sound, a huge 24-hour battery life, USB-C charging and IP67-rated for any moments used by the pool or at the beach. For the dorm room, it's a perfect slimline fit that can still dominate with its punchy sound. For this deal, you can grab it in Gold, Black, Red or Pink – all for the same price. In our Siena Memory Foam Mattress review, our side and back sleepers were pleased with the full-body support of the Siena all-foam mattress. So was our lone stomach sleeper, who liked that her hips didn't sink below the rest of her body. It did take a few nights for the mattress to soften slightly, though, to give that memory foam "hug." We rate the Siena as one of the best mattresses you can buy. The twin is $179, whereas the queen is $359.

Moon or Doom: Where Does XRP Price Go Next?
The XRP Army has drawn the line: the $3 price mark is now their battlefield. But, at the moment, traders can't seem to decide if XRP is headed to the moon or back down towards doom. After hot inflation data dampened jumbo rate cut hopes earlier this week, XRP dropped 6.4%—right down to that pivotal $3.00 mark that could define the crypto asset's next major move. On Myriad, a prediction market created by Decrypt's parent company Dastan, traders remain slightly bullish despite the correction. Myriad users give XRP a 63.7% chance of reaching $4 or higher (the moon scenario) versus 36.3% odds of crashing back down to $2 or below (doom). So who's right? XRP price: The technical puzzle XRP, the cryptocurrency created by the founders of payments company Ripple, presents a technical puzzle that explains why traders are currently so divided. For reference, even at just $3, XRP commands a market capitalization of $181 billion, good for third-largest behind only Bitcoin and Ethereum. And it's coming off a very recent all-time high of $3.65, which the coin hit less than a month ago. So where is it going next? For starters, the distance from its current price (the white line in the chart below) to the moon (the green line) and its distance towards doom (the red line) is basically the same: 33.33%. So, odds based on the percentage leap required to hit either scenario is not really a factor right now. It's going to require a little further digging. One classic indicator for traders is the Relative Strength Index, or RSI. For XRP, this sits right at 48, just shy of the neutral 50 mark. RSI measures momentum on a scale of 0-100, where readings above 70 signal overbought conditions (time to sell) and below 30 indicate oversold (time to buy). At 48, we're in no-man's land—slightly bearish but not enough to panic. This is what traders call the "decision zone," where markets pick their next direction. Going off RSI, under current conditions, market forces are in equilibrium. However, the overall trend is bullish, so this would signal to traders that prices are more likely to maintain momentum and speed unless something else affects the trend. The Average Directional Index, or ADX, at 28 tells a more decisive story. ADX measures trend strength regardless of direction. Think of it as a speedometer that doesn't care if you're going forwards or backwards. Readings above 25 confirm a strong trend exists, and at 28, XRP is definitely trending. This signals to traders that XRP's upward movement is likely to continue, even if slowly. And, of course, the more the price goes up, the less likely a $2 'doom' scenario becomes. Another key indicator is the exponential moving average, which measures the average price of an asset over a certain amount of time. For XRP, the 50-day EMA sits comfortably above the 200-day EMA, creating what traders call a "bullish stack." This means the average price of XRP in the short-term is trading above the average price over the long-term, and that typically means buyers will keep stepping in at higher prices. It's a vote of confidence in the uptrend. This setup usually favors continuation higher unless something breaks. For XRP to correct down to the 'doom' zone, it would need to switch momentum entirely and, likely, enter a death cross formation. The only indicator that is not bullish for XRP right now seems to be the Squeeze Momentum Indicator, which shows a price consolidation zone as the Ripple-linked token struggles to break past its recent all-time high. Think of it as the market taking a deep breath before the next sprint. Prices can experience a stronger trend either up or down, depending on catalysts. That 'squeeze' zone is considered a price compression because there are a large number of orders fighting to determine the trend. If short-term traders exit those positions in search for other markets, then there could be a fast dip in the same zone as it could trigger many 'stop-loss' zones. On the other hand, if there is a short squeeze, or bulls take control, it could trigger a spike based on buy orders activated too close to each other. But technicals only tell half the story. The 30-day moving average for XRP whale inflows to exchanges jumped to 260 million tokens from 141 million tokens at July's start, with large holders offloading nearly $6 billion worth since mid-July. That's a serious distribution that historically precedes corrections, because the most logical reason to send an asset to an exchange is to sell it. Meanwhile, the SEC and Ripple finally ended their legal battle, removing a major overhang. Add an 88% chance of spot XRP ETF approval by December according to Polymarket and nearly 60% preference over a Litecoin ETF on Myriad Markets, and you've got catalysts that could send XRP either direction—violently. XRP bulls have the edge Weighing all of the data, it's clear the charts today slightly favor the XRP moon scenario. The combination of price respecting an upward channel, maintaining position above both key EMAs, and the Squeeze ready to fire would convince traders of a compelling bullish setup. The ADX confirming trend strength while RSI sits neutral gives XRP room to run without being overextended. Considering indicators show traders in equilibrium during a bullish move (instead of showing such behavior when the coin is trading sideways), the ascending channel and compressed volatility suggest XRP could test $3.30 within days. A clean break above would likely trigger momentum toward $4. But those massive whale sales keep the doom scenario very much alive. If the $2.80 support cracks, all bullish bets are off. This is crypto—and when things break, they break hard.
