LOUISA COUNTY, Va. (WVIR) - A new plan announced by Louisa County Monday afternoon will extend high-speed broadband internet to every home and business in the county over the next four years. County administrators say it’s a major step in bridging the digital divide in rural and underserved areas.
In a press conference at Louisa County High School, officials describe this as bringing the county from a low-connectivity region to a fully connected one with an impact on everyone living, learning, and working there. It’s a move Louisa County Board of Supervisors Chairman Bob Babyok describes as seven years in the making: seven years trying to fix the problem of sparse internet connectivity county-wide.

Cadet Col. Logan Scott tried not to focus on the historic nature of her role as only the second woman to serve as Boar s Head Brigade commander for the University of North Georgia s (UNG) Corps of Cadets. Regardless of gender, if you maintain or exceed the standard that a responsibility or a role has set, you have the potential for obtaining that position, Scott said.
But Scott, the 2019-20 brigade commander, knew she could serve as an example for other female cadets who hope to reach a similar position.
For her, strong performance was always been the name of the game. As a woman who was a junior in a position normally occupied by a male senior, Scott received some hesitancy from some of those in her charge but only briefly.
LORAN-5G: Paper envisions new use for venerable tech

A new paper by two Qualcomm engineers imagines restructuring Loran technology to more easily incorporate timing signals into telecommunication systems.
The paper, titled simply “LORAN-5G,” was authored by Guttorm Opshaug and Dave Tuck. It envisions moving away from legacy pulsed signals to a more continuous wave form which would allow significantly lower power transmissions.
According to Opshaug, “Another big advantage that may not be as apparent, is the built-in orthogonality in the signal structure of OFDM. This means that a receiver would be able to detect very weak signals from distant towers at the same time as receiving signals from a very strong close tower. Such robustness towards near-far effects is critical for terrestrial navigation use.”

Some last minute Christmas shoppers can be found at Colony Square Mall
ZANESVILLE – “Mrs. Claus” and “Santa Elf” walk through the mall nearly every day. They’re going all out to spread Christmas cheer in whatever little way possible.
“Lighting up; telling people Merry Christmas. You know, just being an inspiration to people, passing out lottery tickets (and) trying to spread joy. It’s been such a rough year for everybody,” two walkers going by “Mrs. Claus” and “Santa Elf” said.
For some, it’s more about the shopping.
“Just last minute supplies and Bath and Body Works and some sporting goods,” local resident Logan Scott said.
