Army plans smart barracks pilot on Fort Benning
FORT BENNING Imagine a barracks room having USB ports and working thermostats. That’s what is slated for the $4.4 million Smart Barracks Initiative on Kelley Hill.
A modernization project for Building 9164 kicks off in April. This is an Army pilot program, said Geoff Ray, a mechanical engineer with Fort Benning’s Directorate of Public Works’ Operations and Maintenance Division. The agencies working with Army Materiel Command on this pilot include Installation Management Command and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
The new faces of absinthe
As London gets its first absinthe distillery, Millie Milliken arms herself with an absinthe spoon and discovers the elixirs that are giving the spirit a new lease of life, and why the category might just surprise you.
Among my taxidermy collection are a mouse with a Jacobean collar (Blackadder), a Victorian menagerie of hummingbirds (The Jackson Five) and a sleeping mouse (Cheese). None of them, however, come close to the specimens that inhabit absinthe parlour, The Last Tuesday Society, in Hackney. One of my last visits to the curio-stuffed absinthe bar saw me take a perch next to a stuffed lion called Leonora (see header) sitting upright and wearing a red top hat. Directors Allison Crawbuck and Rhys Everett sure know how to do whimsy.
