This fall, do some ghost-busting of your own with this list of 10 spine-chilling spots – and you might want to sleep with the light on.
As fall tightens its grip across the state and darkness slowly swallows the daylight, there is no better time for a Wisconsin ghost story. The state's long history of spooky tales began with American Indians and continued with white settlers who brought their own spiritual traditions and superstitions.
By the early 1900s, every community in the state was gushing with ghost stories, leading the noted Wisconsin folklorist Robert E. Gard to declare that Wisconsin had more ghosts per square mile than any other state.
For more than 15 years I have sought the supernatural in old structures, trudged through spooky cemeteries, explored ghost-filled forests and rambled along haunted highways, in search of our state's most haunted places. This fall, do some ghost-busting of your own with this list of 10 spine-chilling spots – and you might want to sleep with the light on.
The state's most haunted site sits in the far northern reaches of Wisconsin. Summerwind Mansion was built as a fishing lodge in the early 1900s and remodeled in 1916 by Robert Lamont, who would go on to be U.S. Secretary of Commerce under Herbert Hoover.
The house appears to have been haunted from the start, but the Lamonts disregarded the whispers among the wait staff of strange noises and events. Then one night, Lamont fired two shots at what he thought was an intruder, only to discover there was no one there. The Lamonts abruptly left the house – and all their belongings – that night and never returned.
The house had numerous owners over the ensuing years, including Arnold and Ginger Hinshaw, who bought Summerwind in the early 1970s. For six months the couple and their four children endured all manner of psychic phenomenon, including fleeting shadows, whispering voices, random pockets of chilled air and objects that moved on their own. While they were living there, Arnold had a nervous breakdown and Ginger attempted suicide. Their story was documented in a 2005 Discovery Channel episode of "A Haunting."
Although the structure was almost completely destroyed by fire in 1988, the paranormal activity continues. Some claim the place is a sort of beacon that inexplicably attracts supernatural beings and events. Visitors have told of a strong sense of someone or something hovering around them, orbs and floating mists show up later in photos taken at the site, and audio recorders pick up voices and sounds not heard by the human ear. With so much paranormal activity, it's no wonder the Lamonts packed heat.
Nelsen's pub is steeped in history and tradition thanks to former owner Tom Nelsen. Deeply devoted to bitters (which he drank daily until his death at age 90), Nelsen managed to keep his bar open during Prohibition by getting a pharmacy license and selling his spirits as medicine. Such was his love for his pub that he has refused to leave the place, even 100 years after his death. Nelson lived and died in the apartment above the bar, where phantom footsteps have been heard on the stairs. The ghost often acts in mischievous ways, including appearing in front of unsuspecting women using the restroom and changing the radio station so he can still enjoy his favorite music.
Like many ghost stories, this one is rooted in tragedy. In 1974, the body of young Mary Schlais was found in the rural Elk Lake area. At the time, police believed the victim had been hitchhiking from Minneapolis to Chicago when she was picked up by her killer. A man had been seen pushing a body out of a car, but that lead went nowhere and the case remains open, and cold, to this day.
Discreetly set apart from the main gravesites at Riverside Cemetery is the final resting place of Kate Blood. Rumors have long swirled around this woman with the fateful last name – according to various sources, she was a witch, a child-killer, an adulteress and a murder victim at the hands of her husband. Although the details of Blood's life or fate are unknown, her gravesite has become a hotbed of paranormal activity. Many visitors have reported an eerie chill, and some have seen a darkhooded figure that vanishes into thin air. Even more spine-chilling are the stories of blood oozing from the headstone.
Since 1910 the 8,000-square-foot Brumder Mansion has gone through numerous incarnations, once operating as a boarding house and later as a coffee house and parsonage. There was no evidence of paranormal activity here until renovations began in the late 1990s to restore the home to its original state. Today, the mansion is a B&B, providing lavish accommodations for both the living and the dead. George Brumder's sister was said to be so fond of the house that she never left; her presence has been felt in her old room, now the Gold Suite. She is said to have shown her displeasure with changes in the decor or with animals on the premises. Up to three other spirits are also thought to inhabit the mansion. One overnight guest, an American Indian medicine man, declared the spirits benevolent, but very talkative.
Highway 12 between Baraboo and the Dells is brimming with water parks, oversized animals and a slew of other bizarre roadside attractions. But the road's strangest attraction is the phantom hitchhiker. Witnesses have described a man standing on the side of the road wearing a tattered green army jacket. Drivers pass the hitchhiker, only to see him appear again down the road. We aren't sure who he is because no one has had the nerve to actually pick him up.
This story has all the elements of the classic ghost story: a bloody bride, a terrifying being that appears in a mirror and a corroborating authority figure. According to lore, many years ago a young woman was killed on her wedding night in a car accident on the Highway 66 bridge. Since then, there have been reports of a woman wearing a bloody wedding dress standing on the bridge and sitting in the backseat of passing cars, visible to the driver in the rearview mirror. On the same bridge, a police officer reportedly hit a woman, then saw nothing when he ran back to help her. Offically, the Stevens Point police department has no record of a dead bride or of one of their officers seeing a ghost there.
Since the early 1900s, this downtown bar has been serving up all sorts of spirits. When pool hall owner Paul Malin died on the premises in 1901, he wasted no time getting down to his ghoulish duties. The establishment changed hands several times over the next decade as Malin was credited as the source of unexplained noises, apparitions and other phenomena. The pub hosts ghostly goings-on to this day. Numerous patrons have reported feeling a tap on the shoulder – only to find no one there when they turn around. Bartenders have seen a ghostly apparition float throughout the bar, and customers have noted a mysterious chill in different spots. The building's basement is an especially spooky spot, where bricks and other stored materials have stacked themselves and the clicking sound of high heels can be heard pacing the empty room.
In a morbid twist of fate, Ed Gein is buried in the same cemetery where in the 1950s he dug up the bodies of women who reminded him of his dead mother. By the time he was arrested in 1957, Gein had also killed at least two women. Most of the body parts that were found at Gein's farmhouse could not be identified and were not returned to their graves. Not only is this location creepy because of what happened there and the fact that Gein is buried there, but there are also claims that the place is haunted. The restless soul of one of his victims is said to roam the cemetery late at night.
Chad Lewis is on a never-ending quest to discover Wisconsin's oddest places. The weirder the location is, the more likely you will find him there.

Community Spotlight: Public speaking with hearing loss to advocate for others
Published by Ellie Parfitt at October 2, 2020
Phonak hEARo Catalleya Storm is an advocate for accessibility, racial justice, queer rights, and intersectionality.
Their hearing loss doesn't hold them back from speaking up for others and advocating for human rights. Storm shares their tips for public speaking with hearing loss, being an advocate for your own hearing loss, and wearing your hearing aids with pride.
Storm has a moderately severe to severe bilateral sensorineural hearing loss and is late-deafened due to hearing loss only becoming evident at the age of 15.
"I mostly communicate by voice and lip-reading, although sign language is a preferred method of communication as it is easier to access," they said.
Storm started wearing Phonak hearing aids just over 10 years ago and now wears two Phonak Naida V hearing aids. They are a proud wearer of Phonak hearing aids.
"Ever since getting Phonak hearing aids when I went to a new audiologist, now I won't get anything but Phonak," Storm says.
Pride for their Phonak hearing aids has led them to join the Phonak hEARos community.
"Raising awareness of the amazing things Phonak devices can do, it was a no brainer to connect to the Phonak hEARo program," explains Storm.
So went out for my normal, everyday, walk and ended up caught in the rain. My whole body is soaked, and yet my hearing aids were kept safe thanks to @gearforears. If you are debating getting some, stop what you are doing and order a pair!! Like seriously! I'm completely soaked, and my hearing aids are still operational. Love it!!! #hearingaids #phonak #eargear #hearingaidprotection #deaf #HOH #walking #caughtintherain #rain
A post shared by Catalleya Storm (@catalleya.storm) on Jul 27, 2020 at 4:41pm PDT
In addition to spreading hearing loss awareness by being a Phonak hEARo, Storm is an advocate for accessibility, racial justice, queer rights, and intersectionality.
As an undergraduate in college in the state of Ohio, Storm served as the Director of Accessibility, Health, and Safety with Student Government. Through this role, they were able to work towards addressing issues such as accessibility of student organizations, to accessible bathrooms for those with disabilities and trans/non-binary/gender-nonconforming individuals. After undergrad, Storm went back to university for a Masters in Public Administration but took a break to work as a Policy Associate – Transgender Education and Advocacy Program Coordinator.
"Ohio, currently, does not have statewide protections for LGBTQIA individuals," they say. "Through this position, I was able to create a program that brought awareness to Transgender individuals and their allies on how to talk to legislatures and help push change forward. Towards the end of the one-year grant position, I created a three-year strategic plan for creating an accessible organization."
Speaking in Front of an Audience
Giving talks across Ohio is part of Storm's advocacy work. Public speaking has increased their confidence, speaking on a variety of topics such as human trafficking, LGBTQ rights, and accessibility.
With hearing loss comes a few communication challenges, but with adjustments made, became easier to manage. Storm found the hardest part was receiving questions from the audience.
"I remember one speaking engagement, I was on a panel about Trans Individuals and the Health Care System," Storms says. "Whenever an audience member said a question, the host had to turn to me and repeat the question."
To make talks accessible, Storm now uses interpreters.
"Even though I read lips, nothing quite replaces the benefit of having interpreters there just in case something is missed," they say.
Top Tips for Public Speaking with Hearing Loss
Storms' favorite tips to help others improve public speaking skills are:
Record yourself giving your speech
Work on speaking slowly and clearly
Ask your friends to listen to your speech and provide feedback on what you did well and what can be improved
Practice with your hearing aids off"
They like giving speeches with hearing aids switched off. Although it may seem strange, they find it easier to speak without hearing random sounds which can be distracting.
"I once stopped mid-speech because I thought someone was trying to ask me a question," they recall. "Spoiler, they were not. Turning off my hearing aids when public speaking calms my mind and allows me to focus on what I say. Try it out, maybe it will work for you."
Even if You Think You Can't, You Can
Storm's inspiring message to others is to "try not to internalize other people's doubt of you, and your abilities."
"There are so many times I let other people get in the way of what I wanted to do with my life," Storms says. "I've had people tell me I can't because I'm Black, I can't because I'm HOH, I can't because I'm queer, can't, can't ,can't. I felt like I was drowning in doubt of myself. I was allowing them to dictate my life. Look in the mirror and tell yourself you CAN! and then do! I believe in you!"

Fear of Muslims
By Fear of Stuff
A late night cab ride in New York. Nothing so unusual about the circumstances, but one question prompts a surprising scenario. A crime committed in a cab was called a hate crime and a young man faces charges from an assault against the Islamic cab driver. Was it hatred – or fear? The unnatural fear of Muslims is known as Islamophobia.
This fear encompasses the idea that people who are Muslim are less religious and more politically motivated. It also believes that Muslims are more prone to violence.
Michael Enright is a 21-year old film student who has been to Afghanistan. He works for a company that promotes religious tolerance, yet on August 24th, 2010, Enright entered a cab, asked the 43 year-old driver, Ahmed H. Sharif if he was Muslim and within a few minutes Enright allegedly slashed the driver screaming the phrases, "Assalamu Alaikum" and "consider this a checkpoint".
Enright was arrested and did not enter an initial plea in the case. It is reported that the young man lived with his parents in New York. The driver has lived in the United States for more than two decades and all of his children were born in the U.S.
The Rise of Islamophobia
The term Islamophobia was birthed in the 1980′s, but became more widely known following the Twin Towers collapse in 2001. Since that time there has been a cautious fear in many that take the violence of the terror attacks and link it to all Muslims. This has led to instances of personal racial profiling. Many people have developed a fear of anyone who looks or dresses like their perception of Muslims.
Islamophobic Perceptions or Symptoms
According to the Runnymede Trust these are the perceptions that often influence the presence of Islamophobia.
Islam is seen as a monolithic bloc, static and unresponsive to change.
It is seen as separate and "other." It does not have values in common with other cultures, is not affected by them and does not influence them.
It is seen as inferior to the West. It is seen as barbaric, irrational, primitive, and sexist.
It is seen as violent, aggressive, threatening, supportive of terrorism, and engaged in a clash of civilizations.
It is seen as a political ideology, used for political or military advantage.
Criticisms made of "the West" by Muslims are rejected out of hand.
Hostility towards Islam is used to justify discriminatory practices towards Muslims and exclusion of Muslims from mainstream society.
Anti-Muslim hostility is seen as natural and normal.
Overcoming Islamophobia
It could be argued that there are often times when the term Islamophobia is misused. When someone suggests there may be instances of violence among Muslims, that, in and of itself may not mean the individual is Islamophobic. The same information could be said of virtually any people group.
Remember, any true phobia is centered on an irrational fear.
Was the New York cabbie someone to be feared? Was the passenger spurred to commit the act based on a hatred of Muslims or because he was drunk?
Combating any true fear is first a matter of learning more about the object of fear. The same is true of Islamophobia. If you believe you may have more than a simple sense of caution about Muslims you may benefit from a visit with a therapist who can help you get to the root of your fear and learn how to manage the fear in appropriate ways.
In a recent video on CNN.com a question was posed, "Is America Islamophobic?" Here's the video.
Fear of Gods
Fear of Sermons
Fear Of Riding In A Car
Fear of Crowds – Ochlophobia
Fear Of Children
Fear Of Going Outside
Fear of Drowning
Fear Of Ketchup
Fear of Dolls
Fear Of Sex – Genphobia

Star trails are basically the relative motion of stars due to Earth's rotation that we capture digitally. So as we know how slowly this phenomenon occurs, star trails are often results of hours of hard work which not a lot of non-photographers are aware of. A lot goes into astrophotography such as knowing your camera really well, knowledge of stars in the sky, awareness of beautiful locations and of course traveling to remote places. Failure is your best friend in astrophotography, the more you fail the better pictures you take.
A DSLR or any point & shoot with good low light capabilities, a wide angle lens is really helpful but it is not at all necessary.
A tripod and a full battery (at least one full battery is necessary).
A built-in intervalometer or a dedicated intervalometer is a MUST. There are a lot of mobile software's like DSLR dashboard which can do the job of an intervalometer. I personally use MAGIC LANTERN on canon. You can google it and download their software. However keep in mind, check if your camera is compatible with the software.
Disclaimer: I haven't faced any problem with ML after like 2 years of use, but use it at your own risk, it may void warranty. Though it is a fantastic piece of software.
A low light wide angle lens with widest apertures is your best friend though not necessary.
Avoid light pollution, you need to travel away from the cities. Light pollution will kill your Astrophotos. Use https://www.lightpollutionmap.info/ , use the legend tab on the right side to understand colors. White color means the brightest sky and black means darkest sky. The darker, the better.
Avoid Moon and especially full moons. Shoot on new moons, or when the rises very late or sets very soon, in short, avoid moon. Use Moon calendar on smartphones.
Max ISO and take a picture to set the composition.
ISO really depends on how you want the photography to look like, ISO 400 has to be the maximum to avoid extra light in the picture.
Aperture has to be wide open, i.e. the small number.
I prefer shutter speed to be around 10-15 seconds, not more than that. If you keep it more than that you might miss some motion of the stars and it will look bad at the end, though it can be solved using StarStax, but avoid problems right?
Now that you have the settings and composition set, put on the lens cap and take 5-6 dark frames for every 100 pictures. Dark frames are nothing but pictures taken with lens cap on. Dark frames are required because we have turned off in camera noise reduction and dark frames will help us in reducing noise using StarStax.
Keep the interval around 5 seconds considering buffer time.
Shut off the in camera noise reduction in your camera to avoid time waste, google it to know where to find the option in your camera (it can be handled in post processing). On Canon DSLR's it is in the menu -> custom functions.
You will have to take a couple of test pictures to check your composition and iso. Beautiful foregrounds make the picture look even better.
The entire sequence has to be continuous i.e. don't pause between photos as it will cause a pause in the star trails as well, we want the entire motion to look crisp and smooth.
Now comes the main thing, for how long should I shoot? That again differs, check the below stars concept to get an idea.
A star moves approximately 15 degrees per hour that means around 1-2 hours of shooting will give you pretty decent light trails. You can even do 20-30 minutes if you don't want long star trails (Check the examples).
If you shoot with Polaris i.e. North Pole star at the center of your image you will get nice circular star trails. The same applies to South Pole star i.e. Sigma Octantis.
Use an app like Photopills or stellarium to find these stars.

DAY 3: BUDVA RIVIERA & TIVAT PRIVATE TOUR
Depart from hotel with guide assist into the direction of island St. Stefan where you will have panorama view on the island and amazing photo break. This island of unusual appearance, surrounded by high stone walls, carries the title of the most beautiful building on Montenegrin coast for good reason. Once a fishing village, now widely known and respected city – hotel leaves no one indifferent. There you will have photo break and proceed with walking through Miločer Park (King's and Queen's beach). Panorama of Budva Riviera consists of picturesque, natural beauty of towns that permeate and give this part of the coast unique flair. After viewing panorama of this beautiful island, you will continue in direction of Old town Budva. Budva, is considered as one of the oldest settlements on the Adriatic (over 2500 years old). The legend of which there are proofs in many Greek myths says that Budva was founded by Cadmos, the son of Phoenician king Agenon. He was banished from Teba and he reached this territory in ox-wagon and founded Budva. After visiting Budva, you will go in direction of Tivat and visit marina Porto Montenegro. Porto Montnegro is a luxury development that features waterfront homes, a nautical village and a superyacht marina, that is starting to be recognized as a Montenegro's premier shopping and dining center. In the nautical village is located one of the objects that can rarely be visited – submarine "Hero". Group will have a unique experience and visit this real military submarine, go inside and check its interior. Reflecting the area's rich maritime tradition, the Naval Heritage Collection is housed in a beautifully restored building and showcases over 300 artefacts, from Yugoslav submarines to the diaries of Montenegro's Princess Ksenija, Austro – Hungarian ship equipment and industrial machines, which you will also visit.
DAY 4: MINI MONTENEGRO PRIVATE TOUR

Arrival in Virpazar, charming village, situated on the coast of Skadar Lake, where we can see characteristic synthesis of flora and fauna. From Virpazar with boat, you go to see a Skadar lake which is the biggest lake on the Balkan Peninsula and it is a last asylum of Pelicans. The lake is a crypt o depression, which means that in some parts the bottom of the lake is below sea level. This territory is a witness to indescribable beauty with its overgrown coast, bays, capes and islands, all of which are the reason this is the most unique lake on the entire European continent. On these islands numerous monasteries, churches and holy monuments are situated. The many fortifications on these islands, mostly build by the Turks, and later on by the Montenegrin, stand as witnesses to the wars fought between the two nations. Embark on a boat and have a cruise through this amazing lake. After cruise group will have lunch in a restaurant near Lake.

Kindergarten is an unusual little game. It's set in a Kindergarten where players control an unnamed boy with the aim of making it through the day. There's a little more depth to the game than just this however, there is a mini-storyline for most characters in the game for the player to explore and complete.
These stories are interesting and the game certainly plays with more mature themes than what would be 'appropriate' for a Kindergarten. While playing house for example alcoholism and abortion are brought up.
After completing one day of school, the day is reset and players once again must replay through Monday. However, all of their progress at the school from the past day is wiped clean. Despite this, the player does not regain their lost money from their piggy bank and they keep any special items they earned from their last run. These items can then be used on the next run through the game to gain access to new interactions with different characters.
There are also plenty of ways to die in the game. Raging from being beaten to death, falling down a hole and being murdered by the janitor. After dying, the player needs to restart that portion of the day or the entire day.
At it's heart, the game is a point-and-click. The player must walk around the environment and interact with different characters or items. As a result, it may be a little too slow for most players to get into but the amusing humor should keep the game entertaining for some time at least.
Those who enjoy this style of game should feel right at home with this game, those who struggle to get into this genre will find that the game feels more like a chore.

Elden Ring Review – The Best Souls Game Yet?


This paper examines the extent to which EU-driven institutionalisation of the judicial councils has been successfully operationalised to deliver the anticipated results regarding judicial independence as well as the influence of intervening factors such as the determinacy of conditions, historic legacies and informal practices. By analysing the case of Macedonia, it argues that the establishment of judicial councils has not met the normative values and expectations that they were set to achieve through the judicial reforms. The paper detects four general negative effects of the 'European model' of judicial councils: (1) premature introduction without paying due consideration to the actual context in the respective countries, (2) increased exposure of the judiciary to both internal and external pressures induced by newly established institutional avenues, (3) further compromising of individual independence of judges, and (4) reduced transparency of judicial self-governance.

Brooklinen's New Waffle Robes & Towels Are Perfect For An At-Home Spa Day
By Angela Melero
While traditionally known for its luxe, Insta-famous bedsheets, Brooklinen has been rapidly expanding its repertoire to cater to other rooms and areas of life. In addition to chic bath essentials, the brand entered the apparel market last year with its inaugural collection of loungewear. And, on July 21, the Brooklyn-based label proved it's not done showing the bath category love, launching Brooklinen's first-ever line of waffle towels and robes. And with so many individuals looking for ways to practice self-care indoors and perfecting the art of the staycation, the news couldn't have come at a better time.
Whether you're lounging or engaging in an at-home spa day (or night), the new collection is designed with ultimate comfort and decadence in mind. The robe and towels feature a unique square design (hence the waffle name!) that aim to minimize friction to hair and skin while drying quickly and efficiently, says the brand in an official press release.
"This launch has been in development for close to two years, and it's the bath launch I've been most excited about all year," says Katie Elks, Director of Design and Product Development for Brooklinen in an emailed statement to The Zoe Report. "We've managed to create a super lightweight towel that still feels incredibly plush. We optimized the size of the squares in the waffle for high absorption, but maintained a fast-drying towel thanks to the unique weave."
Elks adds that the new collection's bath sheets are cozy yet still lightweight and cool for the warm weather that's in full force at the moment. "The hand towels add a great decorative element with their texture, and the washcloths provide a super gentle exfoliating texture due to the irregular surface, and also help to remove any face products after washing," she says.
The waffle collection come in a variety of hues, including Brooklinen's first bright towel color, a vibrant peachy-pink called Flamingo. Other options include the soft gray Smoke, the gunmetal Graphite shade, and classic white. (The waffle robe does not come in Flamingo.) And, in typical Brooklinen fashion, affordable luxury is the name of the game here with prices ranging from $12 for hand towels to $98 for the bath robe.

Analog Devices provides a complete software infrastructure that enables MATLAB and Simulink models to interact in real time with FMCOMMSx SDR platforms that are connected to FPGA/SoC systems running Linux. This is possible due to an IIO System Object™3 that is designed to exchange data over TCP/IP with the hardware system in order to stream data to and from a target, control the settings of a target and monitor different target parameters such as the RSSI. Figure 1 presents the high level architecture of the software infrastructure and the data flow between the components in the system.
Figure 1. Software infrastructure block diagram.
The IIO System Object is based on the MathWorks System Objects specification4 and exposes data and control interfaces through which the MATLAB/Simulink models communicate to IIO-based platforms. These interfaces are specified in a configuration file that links the System Object interface to IIO data channels or to IIO attributes. This makes the implementation of the IIO System Object generic, allowing it to work with any IIO platform just by modifying the configuration file. Some of the platforms for which configuration files and examples are available on the ADI GitHub repository5 include the AD-FMCOMMS2-EBZ/AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ/AD-FMCOMMS4-EBZ/AD-FMCOMMS5-EBZ SDR boards and the high speed data acquisition AD-FMCDAQ2-EBZ board. The communication between the IIO System Object and the target is accomplished through the libiio server/client infrastructure. The server runs on an embedded target under Linux and manages real-time data exchange between the target and both local and remote clients. The libiio library abstracts the low level details of the hardware and provides a simple yet complete programming interface that can be used for advanced projects with a variety of language bindings (C, C++, C#, Python).
The next sections of the article provide real life examples on how the IIO System Object can be used for validating the ADS-B MATLAB and Simulink models. An AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ SDR platform6 connected to a ZedBoard7 running the Analog Devices Linux distribution were used as the SDR hardware system for verifying the operation of the ADS-B signals detection and decoding algorithm, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Hardware setup for ADS-B algorithm validation.
After an IIO System Object is constructed it must be configured with the IP address of the SDR system, the target device name and input/output channels sizes and numbers. Figure 3 presents an example on how to create and configure the MATLAB IIO System Object.
Figure 3. MATLAB IIO System Object creation and configuration.
Figure 4. MATLAB libiio sets the attributes of AD9361.
The sampling rate is quite straightforward with the AD9361-based platforms. The transmit data rate normally equals the RX data rate, and ultimately depends on the baseband algorithm. In this example, since the decoding algorithm is designed to work with the sampling rate of 12.5 MSPS, the data rate of AD9361 is set accordingly. By doing this, the received samples can be applied directly to the decoding algorithm, without any additional decimation or interp- olation operations.
The RF bandwidth control sets the AD9361's RX analog baseband low-pass filter's bandwidth to provide antialiasing and out-of-band signal rejection. In order to successfully demodulate the received signals, the system must maximize the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In order to do this, the RF bandwidth needs to be set as narrow as possible while meeting flatness and the out-of-band rejection specification to minimize in-band noise and spurious signal levels. If the RF bandwidth is set wider than it needs to be, the ADC's linear dynamic range will be reduced due to the extra noise. Similarly, ADC's spurious-free dynamic range will be reduced due to the lower out-of-band signal rejection resulting in overall receiver dynamic range reduction. Therefore, setting the RF bandwidth at an optimal value is critical to receive desired in-band signals and reject out-of-band signals. By observing the spectrum of received signals, we find 4 MHz is a proper value for the RF bandwidth.
Besides setting up the analog filters of AD9361 via RF bandwidth attribute, we can also improve the decoding performance by enabling the digital FIR filters on AD9361 via the IIO System Object, as shown in Figure 5. According to the spectrum characteristics of the ADS-B signal, we design an FIR filter with data rate of 12.5 MSPS, pass band frequency of 3.25 MHz and stop band frequency of 4 MHz. In this way, we can further focus on the bandwidth of interest.
Figure 5. Enable the proper FIR filter on AD9361 via libiio.
Adsb.ftr is a file containing the coefficients of an FIR filter designed using the Analog Devices AD9361 Filter Wizard MATLAB application.8 This tool provides not only a general-purpose low-pass filter design, but it also provides magnitude and phase equalization for other stages in the signal path.
Figure 6. FIR filter designed for ADS-B signals using the MATLAB AD9361 Filter Wizard.
The versatile and highly configurable AD9361 transceiver has several gain control modes that enable its use in a variety of applications. The Gain Mode parameter of the IIO System Object selects one of the available modes: manual, slow_attack, hybrid, and fast_attack. The most frequently used modes are manual, slow_attack, and fast_attack. Manual gain control mode allows the baseband processor (BBP) to control the gain. Slow_attack mode is intended for slowly changing signals, while fast_attack mode is intended for waveforms that "burst" on and off. Gain mode highly depends on the strength of received signals. If the signal is too strong or too weak, it is suggested to use manual mode or slow_attack. Otherwise, fast_attack is a good option. In the case of ADS-B the fast_attack gain mode provides the best results due to the bursty nature of these signals. Fast_attack mode is a requirement for this waveform since there is preamble, and the AGC needs to react fast enough so that the first bit is captured. There is a difference between attack time—the time it takes to ramp down gain—and decay time—how long it takes to increase gain—in the absence of a signal. The goal is to quickly turn down the gain, so that a valid "1" can be seen on the first bit, but not increase the gain between bit times.
In the end, depending on how you set up the TX_LO_FREQ and RX_LO_FREQ, there are two ways of using this model: using precaptured data (RF loopback) and using live data off the air.
In this case, we are transmitting and receiving some precaptured ADS-B signals using AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ . These signals are saved in a variable called "newModeS."
Figure 7. Define input using precaptured ADS-B signals.
The requirement for this case is to make TX_LO_FREQ = RX_LO_FREQ, and it can be any LO frequency value that AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ supports. Due to the nature of precaptured data, there is plenty of ADS-B valid data in there, so it is a good way to verify whether the hardware setup is appropriate.
RX_LO_FREQ=1090 MHz, TX_LO_FREQ far away from 1090 MHz in order to avoid interference.
Use a proper antenna on the receiver side, which is capable of covering the 1090 MHz band, such as an ADS-B Double 1/2 Wave Mobile Antenna9; using a poorly tuned or poorly made antenna will result in a lack of range for your air radar.
where ip is the IP address of the FPGA board, and data source specifies the data source of the received signal. Currently, this model supports data sources of 'precaptured' and 'live'. Channel specifies whether signals are received using Channel 1 or Channel 2 of the AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ.
Figure 8. Result table shown at the end of the simulation.
This result table shows the information of aircrafts appearing during the simulation. With a proper antenna, this model is able to capture and decode the aircraft signals in an 80 mile range with AD-FMCOMMS3-EBZ. Since there are two types of Mode S messages (56 µs or 112 µs), some messages contain more information than the other.
For any RF signal, there needs to be a quality metric. For example, for signals like QPSK, we have error vector magnitude (EVM). For ADS-B signals, it isn't enough to look at the output of a slicer for correct messages, as shown in Figure 8. We need a metric to define the quality of ADS-B/pulse position modulation, so that we can tell whether one setting is better than the other.
In ModeS_BitDecode4.m function, there is a variable diffVals, which can be used as such a metric. This variable is a 112 × 1 vector. It shows for each decoded bit in one Mode S message, how far is it away from the threshold. In other words, how much margin each decoded bit has with respect to a correct decision. It is obvious the more margin a bit has, the more confident the decoded result is. On the other hand, if the margin is low, it means the decision is in the border area, so it is very likely that the decoded bit is wrong.
The following two figures compare the diffVals values obtained from the ADS-B receivers with and without the FIR filter. By looking at the y-axis, we find with the FIR filter, diffVals is larger regardless of whether it is at the highest point, lowest point, or average. However, when there is no FIR filter, the diffVals of several bits are very close to 0, which means the decoded results could be wrong. Therefore, we are able to verify that using a proper FIR filter improves the signal quality for decoding.
Figure 9. diffVals values obtained from the ADS-B receiver with FIR filter.
Figure 10. diffVals values obtained from the ADS-B receiver without FIR filter.
The Simulink model is based upon the model introduced in Part 2 of the article series.2 The detector and decoding piece comes directly from that model, and we add the Simulink IIO System Object to conduct the signal reception and hardware in the loop simulation.
The original model works with sample time = 1 and frame size = 1. However, the Simulink IIO System Object works in a buffer mode—it accumulates a number of samples and then processes them. In order to make the original model work with the System Object, we added two blocks between them: unbuffer to make frame size = 1 and rate transition to make sample time = 1. By doing this, we can keep the original model intact.
Figure 11. Simulink model to capture and decode ADS-B signals.
The Simulink IIO System Object is set up as following. Similar to the MATLAB one, it creates a System Object, and then defines the IP address, device name, and input/output channels number and sizes related to this System Object.
Figure 12. Simulink IIO System Object.
Depending on how you set up the TX_LO_FREQ and RX_LO_FREQ, this Simulink model can be run in two modes: using precaptured data "DataIn" and using live data. Taking the precaptured data, for example, at the end of the simulation, we can see the following results in command window.
Figure 13. Results in command window at the end of simulation using precaptured data.
Instead of the result table shown in the MATLAB model, the results here are displayed in the text format.
This article talked about hardware in the loop simulation using the libiio infrastructure provided by Analog Devices. Using this infrastructure, the MATLAB and Simulink algorithms for ADS-B signals detection and decoding can be validated with the real-world signals and real hardware. Since the attribute setting is very application and waveform dependent, what works for one waveform will not work for a different one. This is a critical step to ensure that the analog front end and the digital blocks of the SDR system are properly tuned for the algorithm and waveform of interest and that the algorithm is robust enough and works as expected with real life data acquired in varying environmental conditions. Having a verified algorithm, it is now time to move to the next step, which consists of translating the algorithm to HDL and C code using the automatic code generation tools from MathWorks and integrating this code into the programmable logic and software of the actual SDR system. The next part of the article series will show how to generate code and deploy it in the production hardware and will talk about the results obtained by operating the platform with real-world ADS-B signals at an airport. This will complete the steps required to take an SDR system from prototyping all the way to production.

3D City Modeling in Navigational Applications
3D navigation maps have become omnipresent both in automotive and pedestrian navigation systems. It enhances visual depiction and simplifies the recognition of locations by using 3D city models, terrain models and 3D building models.
3D city models play a vital role in developing navigation systems. Three dimensional map provides closer display to reality and delivers superior orientation to end-users. These models are part of the complete visualization data eco-system and they can be easily integrated with navigable product, 2D city map and 3D landmark products.
TreisTek provides 3D city modeling services for the navigation companies. The benefits of 3D city modeling in navigation are huge. Some of them are mentioned below.
Enhance the visual depiction
In the last decades, 3D city models appear to have been predominantly used for navigation maps as it enhances the visual depiction. The textual annotations are used to describe the objects in the maps because it provides a powerful means for orientation and visual data exploration. 3D maps also include panoramic maps of cities and landscapes as well as bird's-eye views of cities. The high degree of visual clarity and geometric abstraction are shown – preferring abstraction to realism.
TreisTek's 3D city models are also used to estimate the visibility of a landmark and assessing facade visibility for city marketing.
Simplify the recognition of locations
The end users of navigation are the travelers. 3D models help them to recognize the locations and map out the emergency routes effectively. Spatial analyses help in optimizing the delivery routes. Our 3D city models are also used in route planning, inter operable navigation applications and determining the optimal location to place the surveillance camera.
GPS-based car navigation systems use speech and aerial views of simplified road maps to guide drivers to their destination. However, drivers often experience difficulties in linking the simple 2D aerial map with the visual impression that they get from the real environment, which is inherently ground-level based. Therefore, supplying realistically textured 3D city models at ground-level proves very useful for pre-visualizing an upcoming traffic situation.
Automotive Navigation
3D models can be used for route finding and accessibility with specific applications such as evacuation, navigating large train stations, determining indoor routes for the disabled and locating the shortest path to the nearest automated external defibrillator. Off let, the integration of indoor and outdoor routing is done for indoor emergency response facilitation.
Pedestrian Navigation
3D models in pedestrian navigation help in improving road safety, assessing sniper hazards and providing data that are not available in 2D like ramps and steps. Pedestrian navigation is unique as the focus here is on delivering the optimal route, rather than route portrayal. There are two different types of building in 3D urban model for pedestrian navigation – buildings that act as visual landmarks and the normal buildings that serve as landmarks.
Maps out realistic display of the city
3D city models are designed with developed architecture that can display and visualize 3D city data in web environment for public access. By using sidewall pictures taken from real city buildings, the white walls of urban buildings are refilled into a real appearance as seen in the real world city. The realistic 3D visualization allows the user to search the required environment visually for specific features, and then to align themselves.
Tool for intelligent/ smart transportation
3D city models are the tool for intelligent and smart transportation. They help to improve traffic regarding security, sustainability, and reduced costs in terms of time, money, energy, and environmental impact. Various instances where 3D city models help are timely update of traffic data, the request of the equipment needed to assist in emergencies using the data provided by vehicles and the tracking of freight along its journey.
Junction Views
Junction views provide an additional visual aid to the driver before and during a maneuver. Junction view shows a photo-realistic view of the maneuver context when it matters the most, i.e., at the point of decision. They are produced for selected junctions and complement the generalized views during day and night.
3D Landmarks and icons
With the 3D Landmarks and icons, noteworthy structures and monuments to the digital map environment are introduced. Most of these structures are instantly recognizable through their silhouette, architectural style and historic significance. Their presence on the map greatly enhances the user orientation while contributing to the map's visual appeal.
Railway Navigation
3D city models do not only help in road navigation but also has put its feet into railway navigation. The 3D models developed for railway navigation represent the external surface of the samples both laterally and longitudinally. 3D models also help in mapping the entire railway asset infrastructure in two phases, i.e., mapping the entire track network in the country and mapping the railway land and other assets along with the tracks.
3D city modelling helps to map out a realistic display of the city and its navigation infrastructure. Due to its ability to allow the administration to view it from a very realistic point of view, it is gaining widespread acceptance as a tool for intelligent/smart transportation. People today use 3D visualizations for navigation tasks because a landmark that is emphasized in the visualization offers more navigational cues. 3D city models with semantic information provide added value and visualization can be enhanced to improve the function.


The stock shocks on the Polaris Slingshot leave a lot to be desired in terms of comfort and handling. However, this full set (3 shocks) of custom JRI coilovers offers a direct fit replacement for the stock shocks with improved ride and handling. Although these are the entry-level replacement Slingshot shocks from JRI, they still offer ride height adjustment and come standard with specific shock valving developed specifically for the Polaris Slingshot. These single adjustable shocks (Ride height) are also a true monotube design, which offers a larger piston for more consistent operation in aggressive driving than the less expensive twin tube design. The gas pressurized shock also allows the shock to be mounted inverted, which also reduces unsprung mass, allowing for even better handling. The single adjustable spring-preload allows for some ride height adjustment which will allow you to lower your Slingshot, which is not an option with the stock shocks. This is the most affordable single adjustable monotube shock on the market and one of the best. This set will have your Polaris Slingshot out carving up those canyons in no time! Of course it is also Made right here in the U.S.A.!

A Message From Our Patron
A message from our Patron 2012-2013, His Worshipful the Mayor Councillor Derek Burke
In my year as the Mayor of Southampton I had the privilege and pleasure to meet many groups across our city and beyond. One such group are worthy of a very special mention, the Southampton Cenotaph Families and Friends Group.
His Worshipful the Mayor Councillor Derek Burke – Patron 2012-2013
The SCF&FG was only established in March 2012 so they are quite a new group but have achieved a great deal in a very short time. They perform a very useful and needed service ensuring that the great debt that we owe to our fallen personnel, who served during the First and Second World Wars and the conflicts since, is not forgotten; that not only this generation but future generations are informed, aware, understand and more importantly, remember what occurred during the Great War and the wars that followed.
The SCF&FG are doing a remarkable job, the research and information they gather and write to this website tells the stories – sometimes harrowing and sometimes poignant – of the noble sons and daughters from this city to whom we are forever in gratitude. Even today more names are being added to Southampton's famous Lutyens designed monument to ensure they and their many comrades are remembered in perpetuity.
In addition to this the SCF&FG are active in lobbying the council and other organisations to ensure all our memorials are kept in good order. This is a truly very worthwhile volunteer group and I am honoured to have been their Patron and will continue to support their work in whatever capacity I am able.
Currently there are just 13 friends (members) of the Southampton Cenotaph Families & Friends Group (SCF&FG) working to research and tell the stories of the Fallen of Southampton. We are always looking for researchers and volunteers. If you are interested in joining us or you would like to get in touch please write to us on southampton.cenotaph@hotmail.co.uk or telephone Paul Marchbank on 02380 319659.
Here is a brief auto-biography of each member:
Jackie Chandler
I was born in Southampton and have lived here all my life. I began taking an interest in my family history in 2005 when I found a photograph of my grandfather's family from the 1920s.
A friend had volunteered as a researcher for the Southampton Cenotaph project and suggested that I join. Following redundancy I found that I had a lot of spare time so I did as she suggested. I have enjoyed being part of this very worthwhile project which honours those men and women who fought for our freedom. It is very rewarding to research the history of these honourable people to ensure sure that their memories live on.
Shaun Connolly – Chairman
I have been interested in all things historical for most of my life and have spent several years researching my family tree as well as those of other family members and friends.
As a Sotonian born and bred the city's history is of significant interest to me and I regularly read the Daily Echo's Heritage pages with its focus on our city's past. An advert in these pages in 2012 led me to attend an early meeting of the Group; I found it most refreshing to meet like-minded people and became a member that same night.
Attending this group has focused my love of historical research towards making it more than just a hobby; the Group's combined efforts helping to uncover more facts about the lives of Southampton's servicemen/women who fought for their country in times past.
On a personal level I discovered that several of my ancestors had been involved in wartime action and had all lost their lives at a very young age – three of them brothers.
Last year I had the honour of being invited to lay a wreath at Southampton's Cenotaph memorial on Remembrance Sunday by virtue of my involvement with the Group. I was very proud to have been given this honour and am also very proud of all that myself and my colleagues have achieved in helping to highlight Southampton's great wartime heritage.
Lona Fryatt
Knowing about my interest in history my friend Celia Fraser, the founder of this project, asked me to join the group at its inception in March 2012. Born and raised in Southampton I feel we have a duty to tell the stories of those men and women from this city who sacrificed their lives during the two World Wars.
My dual role as SCF&FG Secretary and Treasurer involves website and general administration, managing finances and seeking funding so that we can complete our work.
Laurence Hardy
I am a Moonraker born and bred(!) but moved to Southampton in 1994. A consequence of my partner's involvement with Southampton history groups is that I too became interested; I have accompanied my partner to a several talks and study days, all of which have been very informative.
I enjoy historical programmes and books of all genres and, although I do not have the time to help with research, I did want to contribute to this project. I enjoy sorting out any computer queries so volunteered to help maintain the web pages and also undertake any 'gophering' jobs as and when required.
Matheu Harris
From a young age I have been interested in the military, mainly by making models and collecting toy soldiers. As I got older I studied, read military history books and started to research my family tree, this interest was starting to become a passion.
My wife and I have since made numerous visits to the Battlefields of the Western Front. It isn't until you see row upon row of headstones that you get to realise that there are many soldiers stories yet to be told. For me, assisting in this project, in whatever small way I can, gives the chance to humanise those who would otherwise only be commemorated by a name on a stone memorial and ensures that their lives will continue to be remembered.
Debbie Hawke-Wareham
I love problem solving. The fewer the clues the more skill involved to unearth the truth. I also love facts, they are often irrefutable.
I began my own family history journey in 2007 and managed to trace all 6 lines (3 maternal and 3 paternal) back to the early 1700s before the facts became blurred. I missed the thrill of the investigation.
Then I saw the advert for researchers for the cenotaph project and I knew the group would not only benefit from my years of experience but I could also offer some web skills, so I volunteered and am thoroughly enjoying bringing back the lives of the young men who so bravely gave their lives so we could enjoy the freedom we have today. I do this research to honour their sacrifice.
Becky Lonergan
On moving to Southampton I joined the civil service and worked for them for 15 years before taking early retirement. With days to fill I became very interested in Southampton and its history. I joined a couple of local groups, enjoying their talks and discussions, which has resulted in a bookcase full of books relating to Southampton!
In one of the many newsletters that I receive I read that the Southampton Cenotaph Project were needing volunteers. I became very interested and made contact. I enjoy researching histories of individual people and their families which has grown from researching my own family tree over the last 14 years and helping others with theirs. With this experience and knowledge I believe I can contribute to this project.
Paul Marchbank
As Head of the School of Media at Southampton Solent University I oversee approximately 1300 students on seventeen BA (Hons) undergraduate and six Masters degree courses. I obtained a First Class degree in English and History and also a First for my MA in Cultural History. My ongoing doctoral research is concerned with masculinity and trauma in the Great War, specialising in Shellshock. My MA thesis was an exploration of sexual identity in the life and works of T.E. Lawrence ('of Arabia').
I am also a creative writer and have had fiction and poetry published in a number of anthologies.As a cultural historian I am very keen to 'bring to life' and to recapture the stories of lost soldiers from our region and accordingly I am very pleased to be working with the Southampton Cenotaph Families and Friends Group.
Terence Henry Randall
I am about 6 years old.
I was born on the 15th April 1931 in Northam Southampton, the second child born to my parents, but as my older sister died at the age of 20 months of Diphtheria just before I was born I became the eldest in a family of seven. Life as I recall wassomewhat spartan in those pre-war years and although it was a long ago, I do have a lot of memories from around the age of 5/6 years.On the 2nd September (the day before war was declared on Germany) I was evacuated with my two younger brothers to Dorset and except for the fact that I did make some good friends and found school a haven from the harsh life I led as an 'evacuee', life for the most part was pretty grim. Having said that, the war years although at times somewhat frightening, were often quite exciting and exhilarating!
In my Navy days.
I was sixteen before I lived once again in Southampton and as I did not have a family life to call my own, in 1948 at the age of seventeen I achieved my lifetime ambition of enlisting in the Royal Navy. In the navy I was a seaman who qualified as a 'Quarter's Armourer' and consequently spent a lot of time working on various types of guns, from the tiniest to the massive! I sailed in a number of ships but most of my seagoing time was spent in two cruisers; HMShips Ceylon and Glasgow. I served in Ceylon for 2 years and 8 months with nearly two years of that time on active service during the Korean War. During the 18 months I was in Glasgow, I spent 12 months in the Mediterranean Fleet when she was the Flagship of the C-in-C Med Fleet, Lord Louis Mountbatten.
In 1956 I left the navy and joined the Southampton Borough Police as a constable, serving in that capacity for just over five years. Following that I worked in various occupations: telegraph operator, extruder operator, cable operator, finally spending the last 16 years of my working life as a security officer with Ford Motor Company.
And as I am now.
In 1991 at the age of 60 I accepted an offer of early retirement which I grasped and I never looked back. Part of my duties at Ford's Southampton Plant meant I was in charge of the department's computerised fire and security system. This gave me an early introduction into computing which has played a big part in my retirement years. Researching family history became one of my interests and I have to say that this really can become 'addictive'! I lead a full and active life, in spite of the usual ailments you would associate with age, with many interest and hobbies, among which is that of researching in a small way the names on the Southampton Cenotaph for SCF&FG.
Mica Russell
As an officer cadet training in Southampton, the military interests me greatly. Since travelling last year I have broadened my horizons and become more interested in history and why the world and people are the way they are today.
When the opportunity arose to volunteer with this fantastic community project, I couldn't resist but to get involved. I have determination and persistence that I knew would help the team when trying to find those last few facts about our men.
So many young men, some even as young as I am today, signed up in 1914 oblivious to the harsh reality of war. The courage and bravery shown by these men and women deserves a lot of respect, and assisting in the research of each and every single person who died for our country will mean they did not die in vain. Every person named on the cenotaph is a hero, let's give them the recognition they have earned.
Angela Sumner
When I found out about the Friends of Southampton Cenotaph Group I decided to volunteer to become a researcher. I was born in Southampton, I work for the City and have a long association with the armed services and wanted to do something to help remember those who had lost their lives and were remembered on the Cenotaph.
I have always had a keen interest in World War 1 and World War 2 and have visited many of the battlefields in France and Flanders and attended the Last Post ceremony at the Menin Gate twice. I served in the Royal Air Force and was privileged enough to represent Royal Air Force St Athan at a remembrance parade in Wales, it was very moving.
One of my Grandfathers was in bomber command during the Second World War and the other was in the Royal Navy. My Great Uncle was in the Merchant Navy and was involved in D-Day although I never knew what he did. My Great Grandfather was in the Royal Marines and another was in the Cavalry. All were lucky enough to survive the various conflicts they were involved in but those on the Cenotaph were not. It is important that we use the technology we have today to ensure that we preserve the memories of those from the City who lost their lives in the service of their country. The website is a place where people can read their stories and begin to understand a little bit more about the person behind the name.
Jan Thorn
I have always been interested in history and am currently researching my father's family line (back to 1700 so far). My father was in the Navy during WW2 and whilst he would never speak about his experiences I always wanted to know more so after his death in 2000 started to research and discovered the part his ship, HMS Scott, played in the D-Day landings and laying PLUTO (Pipeline under the ocean). HMS Scott was also used to tow the Mulberry harbours to France after the invasion and to survey the dangerous waters between Iceland and Scotland during 1942-43.
I moved to Southampton 7 years ago. Having reduced my working hours in 2012 I had some free time and on learning that this project was looking for volunteers I decided to take part and help to ensure the sacrifice made by the men listed on the cenotaph is always remembered.
Helen Wallbridge
I have been researching my own family history (all from in and around Southampton) so when I saw my maiden name, Comley, on the Cenotaph I felt compelled to join the group. I have since discovered that the name on the Cenotaph, that of John Comley, was a brother of my great-grandfather and I feel very proud that I will soon be able to add his story to the website. I have long been interested in the two World Wars, particularly the home front and the way that the wars impacted on everyday life. I love research so the chance to combine genealogy and local history is very exciting. I look forward to researching other names on the cenotaph and being able to add the stories behind the names. I want to help ensure that these men and women are not forgotten.
Brenda White
I have been interested in genealogy since my father passed away in 1981 and I inherited our family bible and an heirloom of a photograph album. My daughter and I started to compile our family tree and continue to do so to the present day.
Celia Fraser, my son-in-law's stepmother and someone who was to become a great friend, began compiling the cenotaph information and on her untimely death from cancer in 2012 it seemed only fitting in her memory that I should become involved to carry on the work which she started.
I am also interested in the 1st and 2nd world wars, especially the second as my father took part in the D-Day landings. On his death our family found a book which he had handwritten about his life and time from being called up for his war service in the Eighth Army Royal Engineers. I was very proud after reading this and made it my mission to have the book published which I did in 2010. The book was sold through Waterstones and Amazon and all proceeds from sales were given to Help for Heroes. We also followed my father's D-Day landing footsteps from Juno Beach in Normandy to Caen. He is remembered in the Juno Beach museum for his service. I think it is so important to remember those who fought for our freedom, and to be able to honour and help the names on the cenotaph come alive through the research is a great privilege.

Хорепископ или хороепископ ( од  - округ, сеоски округ и - епископ) је епископ села, мањег места или области, који је потчињен епископу града  .

Хорепископ - првобитно епископ сеоског округа, који понекад и није признавао првенство епископа града. Касније само посредник епископске власти у сеоским и обласним црквама (парохијама).

Историја
Порекло хорепископске службе приписује се најстаријим временима, помиње се у 13. канону Анкирског сабора 314. године, у 14. канону Неокесаријског сабора 315-319. године, затим у 8. канону г. Први васељенски сабор 325. Истовремено, постоје два доказа да су хорепископи постојали и раније. Прво - Климент Римски, који је у свом писму Коринћанима говори апостолима о хороепископима. Други доказ налази се у Јевсевијевој црквеној историји, која говори о Антиохијском сабору 269. године, који је осудио Павла Самосатског. У актима овог сабора помињу се епископи најближих места и градова и презвитери; у напоменама уз поменути одељак из Јевсевијеве историје издавач каже да су епископи најближих места били хорепископи. Хореепископи су касније преименовани у егзархе и на крају у викаре .

У 14. канону Неокесаријског сабора о хорепископима се каже:

Али хорепископи, постављени по лику седамдесеторице апостола, за саслужитеље епископа, служе и као свештеници у градској цркви, примајући почаст ради старања о сиромашнима .

Хореепископи су постојали и на Западу. Крајем 2. века Паг Апија је имао свог епископа Трофима, а нешто раније, под царем Антонином Пијем (138-161), помиње се епископ "викус Баканенсис" . Осим тога, постоје посредни докази, како је сматрао протопрезвитер Николај Афанасјев, да је број епископа на локалном Картагинском сабору знатно премашио број градова у Северној Африци који су потчињени Картагинској области, и закључио да су на сабору били присутни и хорепископи . На Западу су хороепископи рано нестали.

Антиохијски сабор 10. каноном је 341. ограничио права хорепископа, дозволивши им да постављају само егзорцисте, чтеце, ипођаконе и појце, а хорепископи више нису могли постављати презвитере и ђаконе без епископа града, иако су хорепископи примили епископску хиротонију. Самог хорепископа је, по истом правилу, требало да снабдева епископ града. Постепено, хорепископи су почели да нестају, иако се у 8. веку и даље помињу у 14. канону Седмог васељенског сабора, који каже да хорепископи "по древном обичају, уз дозволу епископа, треба да производе чтеце" .

У 8. веку у Франачкој држави се поново појављују хорепископи, штавише, као институција нешто другачија од претходне: имајући епископију, франачки хорепископи нису били званичне црквене личности за одређени округ, већ су деловали као викари – помоћници и представници епископи у свештенству и у управи једног или другог локалитета епископске епархије.

У већини помесних цркава овај положај је укинут, а њихово место су заузели протојереји (у Русији декани). Имајући на располагању округ сеоских цркава, хорепископи су управљали њима, попут епископа града (покрајине, области), уз помоћ свештенства и мирјана. Хорепископи су такође имали дужност да се старају о сиромашнима и старају се о добротворним установама.

Институција хорепископа сачувана је у кипарској и Грузијској православној цркви, као и у неким староисточним православним црквама. Тако је у Коптској цркви ту институцију обновио папа Шенуда III.

У неким православним црквама статус викарног епископа је близак статусу хорепископа.
