    The National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) today announced the activation of its Humanitarian Emergency Response Operator (HERO) database to facilitate the business aviation industry’s mobilization in support of relief efforts in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, which has caused widespread damage to communities across the Southeastern U.S.

    The HERO database allows people to enter information about the availability of airplanes, personnel and other assets for relief missions. Information from the database is provided to government agencies and non-government organizations upon request. The database has previously been activated to support relief missions in the aftermath of hurricanes, earthquakes and other natural disasters. 

    “Business aircraft have long played an essential role in providing relief for people and communities in need in times of crisis,” noted Doug Carr, NBAA senior vice president, safety, security, sustainability and international operations. “They are often able to turn roadways into runways, or hillsides into heliports, in order to reach isolated locations. NBAA’s HERO database offers one-stop access to those in business aviation who want to lend a helping hand with their aircraft and other assets.”

    The damage from Hurricane Helene is extensive, and the need for emergency supplies continues to grow as many communities remain without critical infrastructure, including electricity, water and cellular service.

    The storm came ashore Sept. 26 in the Big Bend section of Florida near the city of Perry with 140 mile per hour winds, moving on into parts of Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia.

    Insurers and forecasters have projected that catastrophic damage caused by Helene is somewhere between $15 billion and $100 billion.

    Founded in 1947 and based in Washington, DC, the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) is the leading organization for companies that rely on general aviation aircraft to help make their businesses more efficient, productive and successful. The association represents more than 10,000 company and professional members and provides more than 100 products and services to the business aviation community, including the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), the world’s largest civil aviation trade show.

    Genealogists love Soundex, a method of matching names that have similar sounds but may be spelled differently. In fact, Soundex became popular amongst genealogists almost as soon as it was invented in 1918. Soundex was patented by Robert C. Russell of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and is sometimes called the “Russell Code.” The U.S. Census Bureau immediately adopted Soundex for indexing census records. Since then, others have used the Soundex code to sort similar-sounding names for telephone books, work records, drivers' licenses, and many other purposes. I noticed that the first four characters of my driver's license number are “E235,” the Soundex code for my last name.

    Genealogists use Soundex to find variant spellings of ancestors' names. Almost all modern genealogy databases have a "search by Soundex" capability. 

    Soundex is a form of "phonetic encoding" or "sound-alike" codes. A Soundex code consists of one letter followed by three digits. For instance, Smith and Smythe both are coded as S530, Eastman is E235, and Williams is W452. 

    If you search many records of interest to genealogists, sooner or later you will need to use Soundex codes. Why? Well, you can often find a person's entry by his or her Soundex code, even when the names have been misspelled. This becomes important when you realize that many census takers did not speak the language of the people being enumerated. In fact, in the first 150 years of U.S. census records, the majority of Americans were illiterate and did not know how to write their own last names. Spellings on census and other public records varied widely. The spelling of many family names also has changed over the years, but often the Soundex code remains the same. Soundex can be a big help in finding the same family in different databases that have different spellings. 

    As good as Soundex is, it suffers from numerous shortcomings. For example, Korbin and Corbin have two different Soundex codes, even though they sound exactly alike. The same is true for Kramer/Cramer, Kreighton/Creiton, Leighton/Layton, Phifer/Pheiffer/Fifer, Coghburn/Coburn and many others. At the same time, the names "Robert" and "Rupert" are pronounced differently, yet both have the same Soundex code, R163.

    Of course, such shortcomings in Soundex create problems for genealogists. Sometimes Soundex can find similar-sounding names, but often it does not. You may be searching a database that contains information about your ancestors, but you will never know that because you cannot find them, either by exact spelling or by the inexact Soundex system. Fortunately, better solutions are available. 

    Soundex was "state of the art" technology in 1918, but numerous improved methods have been invented since then. Each one is more accurate than the original Soundex system. Yet none of the new and improved systems has ever achieved much popularity in the genealogy world. Admittedly, the Daitch-Mokotoff Soundex System has achieved some popularity in unique sounds of surnames found in Jewish genealogy; however, it has seen little use elsewhere. For more information about the Daitch-Mokotoff Soundex System, see https://www.avotaynu.com/soundex.htm

    Several newer and improved methods of Soundex have been invented over the years. Steve Morse published an excellent article describing many of the newer methods in the March 2010 issue of the Association of Professional Genealogists Quarterly. However, this great explanation hasn't received much publicity. In the article, Steve provides information not only about the Russell Soundex system of 1918, but also about the following methods:

    American Soundex – 1930

    Daitch-Mokotoff Soundex – 1985 

    Metaphone – 1990

    Double Metaphone – 2000

    Beider-Morse Phonetic Matching – 2008

    Steve also provides examples of the strengths and shortcomings of the various methods. If you have an interest in improved Soundex methods, I suggest you read Steve Morse's article at http://stevemorse.org/phonetics/bmpm2.htm.

    One newer method, called the Double Metaphone Search Algorithm, promises to perform far more accurate name matching than anything available before. Double Metaphone’s inventor is Lawrence Philips, a Software Engineer at Verity, Inc. Philips has donated the algorithm to the public domain so that it can easily be used in any application, genealogy-related or not.

    Double Metaphone provides much more accurate matches to the surnames typically found in North America, including most of those that originated in various European countries. Unlike Soundex, Double Metaphone handles different pronunciations of the same letters. Typical examples would include the letters "gh" that are pronounced differently in "light" and "rough" or the letters "ch" that are pronounced differently in "children" and "orchestra." It even handles silent letters properly, such as the "k" in "knight and the letter "b" in "dumb" and "plumb."

    Double Metaphone handles pronunciations of names from Italian, Spanish, and French, and from various Germanic and Slavic languages.

    The Double Metaphone codes can be as short as one letter (for the name "Lee") or can extend to eight or possibly more letters. However, the code seems to be highly accurate, even when limited to four characters.

    Here are examples of Double Metaphone codes for a number of surnames:

    Ashcraft - code: AXKR

    Ashcroft - code: AXKR

    Eastman - code: ESTM

    Jansen - code: JNSN

    Jansson - code: JNSN

    Jensen - code: JNSN

    Johnson - code: JNSN

    Johnsson - code: JNSN

    Law - code: L

    Lea - code: L

    Leah - code: L

    Lee - code: L

    Leigh - code: L

    Lew - code: L

    Li - code: L

    Lopes - code: LPS 

    Lopez - code: LPS 

    Mallory - code: MLR

    Malorie - code: MLR

    Malory - code: MLR

    Mellar - code: MLR

    Millar - code: MLR

    Miller - code: MLR

    Millur - code: MLR

    Mueller - code: MLR

    Muller - code: MLR

    Williams - code: WLMS

    Williamsen - code: WLMS

    Williamson - code: WLMS

    Here are the Double Metaphone codes for the "problem names" that I mentioned earlier as not being handled properly in Soundex:

    Kramer - code: KRMR

    Cramer - code: KRMR

    Kreighton - code: KRTN

    Creiton - code: KRTN

    Creighton - code: KRTN

    Leighton - code: LTN 

    Layton - code: LTN

    Phifer - code: FFR

    Pheiffer - code: FFR 

    Fifer - code: FFR

    Coghburn - code: KBRN 

    Coburn - code: KBRN

    As you can see, Double Metaphone handles all of these properly. To be sure, this new system still isn't perfect. If you search long enough, you can find a few non-matches. For instance, my last name of Eastman produces a Double Metaphone of ESTM and yet my early ancestors often had the name spelled Easman (without the letter “t”), a Double Metaphone code of ESMN. The two names sound almost the same, but the Double Metaphone codes are different. However, the number of non-matches are far less in Double Metaphone than with Soundex.

    The algorithms used in Double Metaphone are complex. Inventor Lawrence Philips assumes that a computer will always be used to create the codes. Algorithms in BASIC, C++, C#, Perl, PHP, Java, and a number of other programming languages are available if you start at http://goo.gl/IgYra. 

    Here are the Metaphone Rules, explained in English:

    Metaphone reduces the alphabet to 16 consonant sounds:

    B X S K J T F H L M N P R 0 W Y

    That isn't an O but a zero - representing the 'th' sound.

    Transformations

    Metaphone uses the following transformation rules: 

    Doubled letters except "c" -> drop 2nd letter.

    Vowels are only kept when they are the first letter.

    B -> B unless at the end of a word after "m" as in "dumb"

    C -> X (sh) if -cia- or -ch-

    S if -ci-, -ce- or -cy-

    K otherwise, including -sch-

    D -> J if in -dge-, -dgy- or -dgi-

    T otherwise

    F -> F

    G -> silent if in -gh- and not at end or before a vowel

    in -gn- or -gned- (also see dge etc. above)

    J if before i or e or y if not double gg

    K otherwise

    H -> silent if after vowel and no vowel follows

    H otherwise

    J -> J

    K -> silent if after "c"

    K otherwise

    L -> L 

    M -> M

    N -> N

    P -> F if before "h"

    P otherwise

    Q -> K

    R -> R

    S -> X (sh) if before "h" or in -sio- or -sia-

    S otherwise

    T -> X (sh) if -tia- or -tio-

    0 (th) if before "h"

    silent if in -tch-

    T otherwise

    V -> F

    W -> silent if not followed by a vowel

    W if followed by a vowel

    X -> KS

    Y -> silent if not followed by a vowel

    Y if followed by a vowel

    Z -> S 

    Initial Letter Exceptions 

    Initial kn-, gn- pn, ac- or wr- -> drop first letter

    Initial x- -> change to "s"

    Initial wh- -> change to "w"

    The code is truncated at 4 characters in this example, but more could be used.

    Programmers may find more information, including sample Double Metaphone programming code, at a number of web sites, including: http://aspell.sourceforge.net/metaphone/

    Indeed, it appears that Double Metaphone codes are far more accurate at identifying sound-alike names that use different spelling. So why aren't we using this improved method in genealogy applications? 

    My guess is that the only thing stopping us – and the programmers – is inertia: we are so used to Soundex that we don't want to change, even if a far better solution is available right now.

    If all genealogy databases used Double Metaphone codes, thousands of genealogists could find ancestors already documented that have previously eluded them due to spelling and Soundex differences. I am not advocating the abandonment of Soundex. However, it should be easy with today's technology to have both Soundex and Double Metaphone codes displayed simultaneously on the screen. More choices for genealogists means more ancestors found!

    Does your favorite genealogy program use Double Metaphone codes alongside Soundex codes?

    A father and his 18-year-old daughter are suing a Las Vegas fertility clinic after they say a DNA test revealed a mix-up during the in vitro fertilization process.

    According to the lawsuit, the father and his wife went to a fertility clinic around 2004 to look for an egg donor after the wife learned she could not conceive. Their daughter was born in October 2006, KVVU reports.

    Now around the age of 18, the woman says she used Ancestry.com to learn more about her background. Her father told her about the IVF treatment after the DNA test came back in October 2023.

    The results of the test allegedly revealed that the woman’s father is not her biological father, and the egg donor chosen by the couple is not the biological mother.

    The father and daughter say they learned she was born from another embryo created by the doctor for a couple whose biological father was a man in Las Vegas.

    The father is now undergoing adoption proceedings to legally become his daughter’s father. Her mother died in 2022.

    The lawsuit says both the father and daughter suffered extreme and severe emotional upset.

    The lawsuit claims the embryo created by the father and the couple’s chosen egg donor could have been implanted in someone else; though the father never gave permission or consent for the embryo to be used by anyone else.

    Genetic testing firm 23andMe Chief Executive Officer Anne Wojcicki would no longer be open to considering third-party takeover proposals for the company, a regulatory filing showed on Monday.

    "It has become even clearer to me that the best path forward for the (company) is for me to take the company private," Wojcicki said.

    Wojcicki had said earlier this month she would consider third-party takeover proposals while continuing to evaluate and negotiate a deal.

    In July, the CEO and co-founder proposed to acquire all outstanding shares of the firm not already owned by her or her affiliates for $0.40 each.

    The independent directors of the company resigned earlier this month saying they had not received a satisfactory take-private offer in the best interests of the non-affiliated shareholders.

    23andMe, which provides DNA testing that helps users learn more about their ancestry, went public in 2021.

    The Creole Culture Exhibit will open to the public at Lafayette City Hall on Tuesday Oct. 1, showcasing Acadiana's rich Creole heritage.

    The exhibit entitled, "Creole Tapestry and Luminary Voices: A Cultural Mosaic", kicked off with an opening ceremony on Monday Sept. 30.

    Curated by photographer and co-founder of Louisiana Creole Culture, Milton Arceneaux, the exhibit features black and white portraits of members of the Acadiana Creole community for their contribution to their communities. 

    "Creole culture, to me, represents family—it is a family. It is a culture. I do my best to keep Creole culture alive." He added, “The way you can honor Creole culture is to spend time with the elders and learn their ways. We try to live their history and learn their culture," said Arceneaux. 

    Creole culture will be fully displayed in Grand Coteau on Saturday, Oct. 5, for Creole Culture Day. Attendees will be able to connect with elders and learn about Creole customs, Creole language, and genealogy, further emphasizing the importance of preserving this cultural heritage.

    The Creole Culture Exhibit will remain open at City Hall through Oct. 31.

    The Northeast Louisiana Delta African American Heritage Museum held a family history weekend to help locals track their genealogy, preserve important documents and record family stories.

    The event was hosted by those who worked on the documentary film “Acts of Reparation”, which follows the stories of Selina Lewis Davidson and Mackey Alston. Selina spoke about how finding her genealogy brought her closer to one of her lifelong friends.

    “We were interested in the conversations that were arising around discussing reparations, and we decided to ask each other, ‘What does reparations mean to you?’ And we both answered those questions differently, but it both took us to our ancestral lands.”

    Alicia Jones, who worked on the film, says knowing your ancestry can be important when it comes to building your future.

    “My grandmother, her family were sharecroppers, and so I wanted to know more about that history, and just for my own child, like to be able to tell her the stories and accurately represent it for her; so even for myself, like I’ve definitely been inspired.”

    Andrea Woods, a participant says that through learning about their ancestry, her family has been brought closer.

    “It just gave me a little more insight on family as a whole. You know how important it is for us to remain strong, for us to remain close and together so that we could keep what they worked so hard for, which was us being strong and being pulling together as a family.”

    Five students from Leeward Community College and UH Mānoa participated in the inaugural “Indigenous Data Hub Fellows” program, where they learned an equitable community-centered co-design practice, collaborated on place-based data visualization projects relevant to the Hawaiian community, and took advantage of the high-tech resources in the Create(x) lab housed in the Academy for Creative Media Building. The lab features immersive visualization environments such as a projection system that projects onto three walls and the floor for various augmented virtual environments.

    people looking at a large screen

    “As a Native Hawaiian studying computer science in the data science track at UH Mānoa, this experience has allowed me to integrate the practices of my culture as kānaka ʻōiwi with the knowledge and skill set of a computer scientist, nurturing two critical parts of my identity,” said undergraduate student Shaelyn Loo. “It has been a transformative journey that has shaped my personal and professional growth in ways I never expected.”

    OIKI Director Kamuela Enos said the Indigenous data hub’s goal is to provide contemporary data visualization technology to community practitioners to allow them to show the impact of their work, while training youth that live in their community the fundamentals of both ancestral and contemporary sciences.

    “Our intention with this project is to equitably engage with both regional community organizations and students in pairing the ancestral sciences and technologies that have allowed our ancestors to be self-sufficient for millennia with contemporary technologies,” Enos said. “The Indigenous data hub model focuses on four key components: a named geography, the ancestral practices that still exist within that geography, the community organizations that are still holding on to these practices in that geography, and the next generation learners that live within that geography.”

    Mapping, sailing, restoring

    people looking at a large screen

    The students worked on three projects:

    • Moʻolelo Mapper—An immersive visualization project intended to augment a classroom with illustrations to weave together place, story and ways to investigate lessons passed on from ancestors. This is in collaboration with Kumu UʻiKeliʻikuli from Leeward CC.
    • Hoʻokele Table—An augmented visualization table intended to supplement the curriculum around designing sail plans for non-instrumental navigation. The simulation allows for students to become familiar with the natural phenomena that need to be taken into account while navigation on the open ocean. This is in collaboration with Kumu Kekai Lee from Leeward CC.
    • Kipuka o Kahinahina—An augmented visualization table intended to share the story of the restoration of kālua mahi (sinkholes) in Kalaeloa. These kālua mahi were originally used for agriculture, and archaeologist and kumu hula Ulukoa Duhaylonsod along with other community volunteers are restoring this practice to propagate and preserve endangered endemic species of plants such as ʻEwa Hinahina. The table visualizes observation data from the site over time.

    “Working with these talented students has been incredibly rewarding,” said Create(x) Director Kari Noe. “Learning how to equitably co-design data science tools, visualization software, and any technology with community partners and faculty is a critical skill and practice, but it is challenging. These students have a passion to learn these skills to be able to create projects that will bring a positive impact to their communities. I’m happy we are able to give them the space to.”

    Students also learned skills from mentors such as Kūhaʻo Zane, Solomon Enos and Mikiʻala Lidstone who advised the fellows and taught them about Indigenous design, creative practice and community-centered design, respectively.

    Along with Loo, other students who participated include Austin Cataluna (Leeward CC, engineering), HalaʻiNapulehua (Leeward CC, computer sciences), Leilehua Kila (Leeward CC, Hawaiian studies) and Kieren McKee (UH Mānoa, digital media).

    The intention of the Indigenous Data Hub project is to expand its network to other locations around the state to provide access to this kind of programming to local students, starting with Leeward CC. The Indigenous Data Hub project was funded in part by the National Science Foundation EPSCoR award 2149133, the Academy for Creative Media System and Abundant Intelligences.

    Partnering with the National Library of Medicine (NLM), the NIH Office of Research on Women’s Health (ORWH) launched the first phase of a novel discovery resource for women’s health research (WHR), called DiscoverWHR. This innovative resource simplifies the finding of women’s health information by patients, caregivers, medical professionals, researchers, and the public.

    Users can explore the following research areas:

    • Menopause
    • Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
    • Autoimmune diseases
    • Lupus
    • Rheumatoid Arthritis
    • Scleroderma

    The NIH-Wide Strategic Plan for Research on the Health of Women and feedback from NIH users will be used to identify future research areas.

    DiscoverWHR resource is a centralized resource for women’s health research and information that helps close the gaps in women’s health across the life course. A goal of the DiscoverWHR portal is to facilitate research discovery by sharing information on NIH-supported grants, intramural research, clinical trials, and literature on issues that uniquely, disproportionately, and/or differently affect women across their lifespan. ORWH and NLM will enhance DiscoverWHR with additional NIH-funded research topics and resources, as well as incorporate data science tools such as artificial intelligence. Over time, users will be able to quickly learn about NIH-funded research and information for specific women’s health-related topics. Try out this new resource and submit your feedback (via the blue “Give Feedback” button on the right-hand side of the page)!

    You can watch the annular solar eclipse live on Oct. 2 with this free livestream. Here's how.

    On Oct. 2, the moon and sun will produce a dazzling "ring of fire" in the sky. The annular solar eclipse is going to be a sight to behold. 

    However, many of us will be nowhere near the path of annularity — a route that passes across the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina. Instead we must look to the next best thing: livestreams! You'll find some information below about how to watch the event play out virtually, and in fact, you'll also be able to catch the eclipse action unfolding on our solar eclipse live blog. When the time comes, we will bring you views of the eclipse as they appear online as well as some on-the-ground reporting from a lucky few who will be there in person. 

    During an annular solar eclipse, the moon appears slightly smaller than the sun. As such, it doesn't block the entire solar disk like it would during a total solar eclipse. Instead, the moon's shadow covers most of the disk, leaving the outer rim, and resulting in a beautiful "ring of fire." On Oct. 2, the moon will cover approximately 93% of the sun's disk at the point of greatest eclipse.

    ANNULAR SOLAR ECLIPSE LIVESTREAM

    LIVE: Annular Solar Eclipse - October 2, 2024 - YouTubeLIVE: Annular Solar Eclipse - October 2, 2024 - YouTube

    You can watch the annular solar eclipse online and follow along with a livestream news feed courtesy of Timeanddate.com.

    The livestream will begin at 2:45 p.m. EDT (1845 GMT) on the website's YouTube channel. 

    Watching in person 

    The "ring of fire" will be visible only within a path of annularity that passes across the Pacific Ocean, southern Chile and southern Argentina. 

    During an annular solar eclipse, it is NEVER safe to look directly at the sun without solar eclipse glasses designed for solar viewing. Read our guide on how to observe the sun safely

    Notable locations where the "ring of fire" is visible

    For an in-depth look at the timings of each stage of the eclipse depending on location, check out these resources on Time and Date.

    • Rapa Nui/Easter Island, Chile (5 minutes, 38 seconds to 6 minutes, 12 seconds of annularity starting at 14:03 EAST, 67 degrees above North)
    • Cochrane, Chile (5 minutes, 40 seconds of annularity starting at 17:21 CLST, 26 degrees above NNW)     
    • Perito Moreno National Park, Argentina (6 minutes, 17 seconds of annularity starting at 17:21 ART, 25 degrees above NNW)   
    • Puerto Deseado, Argentina (3 minutes, 22 seconds of annularity starting at 17:27 ART, 20 degrees above NNW) 
    • Puerto San Julian, Argentina (5 minutes, 12 seconds of annularity starting at 17:24 ART, 21 degrees above NNW)  

    Notable locations where the partial solar eclipse is visible

    For those outside the path of annularity, a partial solar eclipse will be visible during which the moon will appear to take a "bite" out of the sun. 

    Here are some notable locations where a partial solar eclipse will be visible (along with the percentage coverage of the sun) on Oct. 2, 2024.

    • Ushuaia, Argentina (72%)  
    • Falkland Islands (84%)   
    • Villarrica, Chile (63%)  
    • Punta Arenas, Chile (75%)   
    • Buenos Aires, Argentina (42%)   
    • São Paulo, Brazil (10%)
