美國路易斯安那州紐奧良女市長坎特雷爾（LaToya Cantrell）近日遭聯邦檢察官起訴，罪名包括詐欺與貪污，原來她被發現在喪夫前就與前警官兼貼身隨扈瓦皮（Jeffrey Vappie）存在「親密關係」，甚至挪用市府多達7萬美元（約新台幣210萬元）經費談戀愛。而坎特雷爾本是近300年來當地第一任女性市長，如今還成為該市歷史上首位還在任期內遭起訴的市長。

根據外媒《BBC》報導，美國政壇近期被揭露一樁醜聞，現年53歲坎特雷爾是路易斯安那州紐奧良市的市長，檢方指出，自2021年10月起坎特雷爾與貼身隨扈瓦皮，悄悄發展一段「私人且親密的關係」，直到2024年6月瓦皮退休前，兩人多次假藉執勤名義，實際上是跑去約會，其中包含14次國內外旅遊。

檢方同時揭露，坎特雷爾多次私人活動，都以「確保安全」為由讓瓦皮跟隨，將隨扈同行合理化，更能規避審查；至於這些約會的開銷多達7萬美元（約新台幣210萬元），全都從市府的經費中挪用。

The Log Periodic Antenna  as known as LPDA  is a wideband directional antenna that provides gain and directivity combined over a wide band of frequencies.
Both Log-Periodic Antennas and Yagi antennas are high gain directional antennas. The main difference between these antennas is that Log-Periodic Antennas support wider frequency bandwidths and are physically much larger than Yagi antennas.
The log-periodic dipole array typical VSWR is 2:1 and operates over a much wider bandwidth and will have a lower gain for an equivalent number of elements.
With this level of performance, it is ideal for many applications, although a log-periodic antenna will be much larger than a Yagi of an equivalent gain.
