However, aits may also be eroded: the resulting sediment is deposited further downstream and could result in another ait. A channel with numerous aits is called a braided channel.

Dean Martin was hired in 1969 to perform in the casino's showroom, and was given a 10% interest in the Riviera.

In 1973, the Riviera was purchased for $60 million by AITS Inc., a Boston-based travel company controlled by Meshulam Riklis and Isidore Becker.

Brentford Ait on the River Thames An ait (, like eight) or eyot () is a small island. It is especially used to refer to river islands found on the River Thames and its tributaries in England. Aits are typically formed by the deposit of sediment in the water, which accumulates over a period of time. An ait is characteristically long and narrow, and may become a permanent island should it become secured and protected by growing vegetation.

In those days, due to shortage of water and absence of irrigation system the crops were being grown at very small scales. The wells were the main sources of irrigation and for drinking water. The water was given to the lands through the help of "Aits Nar" (a large water wheel worked by a pair of bullocks or one camel). In accordance with the availability of water, they could grow wheat, millet and grass for their cattle.

Swan Island, the middle of the three islands, with Boyle Farm Island behind Three river islands (aits) form a linear group, close to the junction of the two main old streets of Thames Ditton village, in the River Thames in a corner of modern Surrey, on the Kingston reach above Teddington Lock. Thames Ditton Island, the dominant ait, is long and has 48 homes with gardens (and moorings); Boyle Farm Island has one house; Swan Island, between the two, is the smallest.

Carnival Cruise Line was founded in 1972 as a subsidiary of American International Travel Service (AITS), by Ted Arison and Meshulam Riklis. Due to mounting debts, Riklis sold his stake in the company to Arison for $1 in 1974. However through the acquisition of existing ships, the company continued to grow and, in 1980, Carnival ordered its first new commission, the Tropicale, which was completed in 1981/2. Three further ships were commissioned during the 1980s, the Holiday (1985), Jubilee (1986) and Celebration (1987).

Some observers conjecture that Walpole was piqued by his neighbour's anticipation of his own architectural ambitions, as this pre-dated his gothic embellishment of Strawberry Hill House. Radnor Gardens 1774 Flood marker in the wall of Radnor House Radnor House's riverside gardens to the east included part of Cross Deep Ait, a former larger neighbour of adjacent Swan Island. The two aits are shown as single entity on John Rocque's map of 1746. A footbridge connected the island, metal remnants of which can still be perceived lining the central footpath in the gardens today.

Map of Brentford and Lot's Aits Brentford Ait was also formerly known as Makenshaw, Mattenshaw or Twigg Ait. In the 18th century the ait was inhabited and buildings included a notorious pub called the Swan or Three Swans — its trade was ended in 1796. On the Brentford bank, the Swan Steps lead down to the river at the east end of the long and narrow riverside park, Waterman's Park, at the site of the crossing to this pub. The ait was planted with trees in the 1920s to screen Brentford's gasworks from the view of Kew Gardens.

Project NEXT is a proposed public transport payment system for New Zealand. Project NEXT was previously known as the National Ticketing Programme (NTP) from early 2016 to early 2018, preceded by the Auckland Integrated Ticketing Scheme (AITS, also known under its brand name HOP) and Auckland Integrated Fares System (AIFS) prior to that. The aim is to achieve a nationally consistent payment system, with a choice of payment by cash, phone, credit card, debit card, or a transit card valid for the whole country. Whilst work at a national level has been undertaken since 2009 and integrated ticketing has been introduced for public transport in Auckland, as of 2020 there is still no national system available.

The NZ Transport Agency joined the discussions held between Auckland and Wellington officials in 2009. The Transport Agency's board signed off on NZTA joining in October 2009 in the context of the Auckland Regional Transport Authority (ARTA, which was succeeded by Auckland Transport in November 2010) tendering for an integrated ticketing system for public transport in the Auckland Region named Auckland Integrated Ticketing Scheme (AITS); this was later given the brand name "HOP". The underlying thinking of the Transport Agency was that it would make sense for the development cost to be paid only once, with other regional authorities able to join and use the same technology. The Transport Agency opted to lead the project, provided co-funding, wanted to be in control of the central clearing house system, and stated that it was most interested in getting information out of the system.

Twickenham War Memorial, Radnor Gardens, erected in 1921 The Gardens were created in 1903 by Twickenham Urban District from several adjacent riverside properties dating back to the 17th century; Radnor House from which the name derives, formed the central section of the gardens, the riverside garden of Cross Deep House provides the southern area, and the grounds of Cross Deep Hall to the north. Several remnants of these form features of the modern gardens including the walls of the base of Radnor House and two gothic structures; a gazebo and Grade II listed polygonal summer house. After the purchase of Radnor House in 1902, of gravel from the construction of Teddington Lock was used to raise the level of Cross Deep Ait, a former ait adjacent to Swan Island that formed part of the gardens, to protect it from flooding. The two aits are shown as single entity on John Rocque's map of 1746.
