2023 Rider's Choice Awards Ceremony
With over 1500 companies in The Micromobility Landscape and hundreds of millions of riders worldwide, yesterday, at Micromobility World, we were excited to announce the winners of the 2023 Rider's Choice Awards and celebrate the broad diversity of companies and people that have supported the fastest-growing mobility ecosystem in the world.
At Micromobility Industries, our mission is to track, measure, and highlight this expanding industry of small vehicles. The idea for the Rider's Choice Awards came out of traveling around the world and meeting many different great companies across many different categories. Seeing the level of pride these companies have in the products they are building, and the communities that surround them, we thought it was time to hand out some hardware.
The Rider's Choice Awards process was to allow anyone to vote for their favorite companies, and in less than 3 months, and we received over 50,000 authenticated ballots. The 26 company categories mirror The Micromobility Landscape sub-categories, we have also added some categories for people and places that have helped push our industry forward (Best Journalist, Best Reviewer and Best CEO/Founder).
Congratulations to our 2023 Rider's Choice Awards Finalist and Winners. (See full list here)

LIfBi Post-Doc Gundula Zoch Appointed Junior Professor
On 1 September 2021, Dr Gundula Zoch started her junior professorship in the sociology of social inequalities at the Institute of Social Sciences at Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg. Previously, she was a research associate at the Leibniz Institute for Educational Trajectories (LIfBi) in Bamberg. Gundula Zoch will continue to be associated with LIfBi as a Research Fellow in order to implement ongoing and upcoming research projects.
As a postdoc in Department 2 "Educational Decisions and Processes, Migration, Returns to Education", Gundula Zoch conducted research on the emergence and consequences of social inequality in employment and family work. Exemplary for this are various analyses on the consequences of the Corona pandemic, which have appeared in several LIfBi transfer reports, as well as her study on the differences that exist between East and West Germany with regard to prevailing role models. She received an award from the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR) for her dissertation thesis, in which she examined the expansion of childcare in East and West Germany. In 2020, she also received the Bettina Paetzold Teaching Award from the University of Bamberg and was accepted into the Leibniz Association's mentoring programme for highly qualified female researchers.
Prof. Dr. Corinna Kleinert, Vice Director of LIfBi and Head of Department 2 emphasises: "Gundula Zoch is an outstanding scientist! We wish her all the best, continued success and are very pleased to be able to continue our successful collaboration together."

Power, Policy, and Political Priorities: Elite Sport Development in Canada and the United Kingdom
Mick Green
This article analyzes government and quasigovernmental agencies' use of "planning dictates" in relationships with national sporting organizations (NSOs) in Canada and national governing bodies (NGBs) of sport in the United Kingdom (UK). Attention is drawn to the asymmetries of power contouring elite sport policy developments in both countries that, though unobservable in an empirical sense, nonetheless warrant investigation. The analysis draws on semistructured, in-depth interviews with key personnel in three Canadian NSOs and three UK NGBs in swimming, athletics, and sailing; senior officials at Sport Canada and UK Sport; and sport-policy analysts and academics. Although Canadian NSOs have been subject to such planning dictates for the past 20 to 30 years, the requirement for UK NGBs to comply in this way have only emerged since the mid-1990s. Accordingly, the article concludes with suggestions for further research in the UK.
Withdrawal from Sport and Schlossberg's Model of Transitions
Derek A. Swain
The present study involved three in-depth interviews with 10 informants who had voluntarily withdrawn from hockey, horse racing, football, and racquet-ball. The personal histories of the informants were examined for diversity and commonality of experience. A synthesized description of career change experience was written as a general story, identifying a sequence of experiential units that reflect the shifts in focus within the common experience. The general story indicated that withdrawal from sport was not simply an event but a process that began soon after the athletes became engaged in their career. This study supports and extends a model proposed by Schlossberg (1984) which attempts to account for diversity in the experience of transitions. The model is considered helpful in developing an understanding of the process of a transitional experience such as retirement from sport, considering the context in which the experience takes place, the meaning it has for the individual, and how it changes over time.

The Influences of Pre-Professional Socialization on Early Career Physical Educators
Sara B. Flory and Nate McCaughtry
The purpose of this study was to examine how three PE teachers' personal biographies before their formal teacher education programs influenced their early careers in urban schools. Using occupational socialization theory and cultural relevance theory, we conducted in-depth interviews and observed early career physical education teachers who did not grow up in urban communities for approximately six weeks each. Data were analyzed using constant comparison. Two major themes emerged as influential in the teachers' successes and struggles in urban schools, including their exposure to diversity, and family views of culture. These findings suggest that the pre-professional socialization experiences of teachers also include the development of cultural templates, biases, and values, and that many teachers may not accurately or critically reflect on their teaching practices. Further research should examine how PETE programs prepare middle-class teacher candidates for diverse schools.

Impact of Wellness Legislation on Comprehensive School Health Programs
Kim C. Graber, Amelia Mays Woods and Jamie A. O'Connor
In 2004, Congress passed the Child Nutrition and WIC Reauthorization Act that requires schools to implement a wellness plan. Grounded in Ecological Systems Theory (EST) (Bronfenbrenner, 1977, 1979), the purpose of this study was to explore the impact of the legislation, discover what measures have been taken to enact the legislation, gauge how the legislation has impacted the work environment of physical educators, and better understand EST in relation to the legislation at the level of the microsystem. In total, 51 individuals participated in in-depth interviews that were triangulated and inductively/deductively coded. The results indicate that (a) principals and physical education teachers had limited knowledge of the plan, (b) school nutrition programs profited more than physical education, (c) physical education is becoming less marginalized, (d) physical education teachers missed an opportunity to use the legislation for program improvement, and (e) individuals at different levels of the system need to interact.
The Organizational Tasks of High-Performance Gymnastic Coaches
Jean Côté and John H. Salmela
The purpose of this study was to report the knowledge used by expert high-performance gymnastic coaches in the organization of training and competition. In-depth interviews were conducted with 9 coaches who worked with male gymnasts and 8 coaches who worked with female gymnasts. Qualitative analyses showed that coaches of males and coaches of females planned training similarly, except that coaches of females appeared to emphasize esthetic and nutritional issues to a greater extent. Coaches of males revealed more concerns about the organization of gymnasts' physical conditioning. Analysis indicated that expert gymnastic coaches of males and females are constantly involved in dynamic social interactions with gymnasts, parents, and assistant coaches. Many areas of coaches' organizational work, such as dealing with the athletes' personal concerns and working with parents, are not part of the structure of coaches' training programs and emerged as crucial tasks of expert gymnastic coaches for developing elite gymnasts.

Middle School Teachers' Strategies for Including Overweight Students in Skill and Fitness Instruction
Paul B. Rukavina, Sarah Doolittle, Weidong Li, Mara Manson and Angela Beale
As part of a larger study, this paper describes teachers' perspectives and strategies on including overweight and obese students (OWS) in instruction related to motor skill/game play and fitness development in physical education. Using the Social Ecological Constraints framework, a qualitative multicase study was conducted using multiple in-depth interviews, class observations, and artifacts from nine experienced and committed suburban middle school Physical Education teachers. Constant comparison was used to generate themes and trustworthiness procedures were used to confirm findings. Two types of strategies for including OWS in instruction were identified: First-order and Second-order. School resources, shared program goals, and beliefs about students and teaching were factors influencing teachers' decisions and actions for teaching motor skill/game play and fitness content to OWS.
Fostering and Sustaining Sport Psychology Professional Quality of Life: The Perspectives of Senior-Level, Experienced Sport Psychology Practitioners
Alessandro Quartiroli, Sharon M. Knight, Edward F. Etzel and Rebecca A. Zakrajsek
Researchers have examined psychology professionals' ability to maintain and sustain effective practices while managing to balance their personal and professional lives. Stamm's concept of professional quality of life was intended to capture both positive and negative aspects of caregivers' professional experiences. The concept, however, inadequately addresses the unique context of sport psychology practitioners' (SPPs) practice. As part of a larger qualitative study of sport psychology professional quality of life (SP-PQL), in this paper the researchers explored the challenges and strategies articulated by a multinational sample of 20 senior-level SPPs related to developing and maintaining their SP-PQL. Findings from an analysis of in-depth interviews revealed challenges and the strategies that participants undertook to foster and sustain their SP-QOL. These findings can be used to inform efforts by current and future practitioners to identify aspects that may thwart or support their SP-PQL.

"An Eye for Talent": Talent Identification and the "Practical Sense" of Top-Level Soccer Coaches
Mette Krogh Christensen
The purpose of this study is to explore how top-level soccer coaches identify talent. I draw on Bourdieu's work to challenge a commonly held assumption that talent identification is a rational or objective process. Analysis of in-depth interviews with eight coaches of national youth soccer teams indicated these coaches identified talent in three ways. First, coaches use their practical sense and their visual experience to recognize patterns of movement among the players. Second, the coaches' classificatory schemes are characterized by their preference for so-called "autotelic" players, that is, players that, from the coaches' perspective, exhibit a potential to learn, practice, and improve. Third, the study shows that talent, of which the coaches act as arbiters of taste, is socially configured in top-level soccer.
Beyond the Marathon: (De)Construction of Female Ultrarunning Bodies
Maylon T. Hanold
This article examines the ways in which high-performance female ultrarunning bodies are created by and understood through the discourses of the normative running body, the ideal female body and pain. Using a Foucauldian framework, this paper shows how the ultrarunning body becomes a desired body beyond the marathon and how these same desires produce multiple and complex subjectivities for female ultrarunners. In-depth interviews were conducted with 8 high performance female ultrarunners. Findings suggest that ultrarunning is a sporting space which gives rise to more diverse subjectivities than previously found in distance running literature. Simultaneously, this discourse produces disciplined bodies through the mode of desire and "unquestioned" social norms, paralleling the constructs of extreme sports and (re)producing middle-classness.
But Why Does What Works Work? A Response to Fifer, Henschen, Gould, and Ravizza, 2008
Amanda Martindale and Dave Collins
The article "What works when working with athletes" by Fifer, Henschen, Gould, and Ravizza (2008) offers an interesting array of information and insights used by three highly experienced applied sport psychology consultants. This response article, however, contends that it may be possible to glean a further, and crucial, level of understanding by exploring the metacognition behind the selection of such courses of action. This may be provided through applied cognitive task analysis (ACTA) techniques to access the cognitive mechanisms underpinning professional practice. A suggested research direction is to use ACTA techniques such as in-depth interviews and cognitive mapping with highly experienced applied sport psychology consultants. Specifically, these techniques would enable readers to access judgments and decisions, attentional demands, critical cues and patterns, and problem solving strategies (Gore & McAndrew, 2009). This level of understanding may help to establish how these cognitive processes impact on the support provided to clients, and in turn, assist in developing more conceptually rigorous training methods.

Ruby-Binary-Parser
===================
Ruby-Binary-Parser is Ruby Gem library providing DSL for parsing binary-data, such as Image files, Video files, etc.
Without operating bytes and bits complicatedly, you can parse and read binary-data *generically* and *abstractly*.

Description
-----------
This library can parse all kind of binary-data structures including non-fixed length of structures and nested structures.
For generic parsing, loop and condition(if) statement to define structures is provided in this library.
Of course, values of neighbor binary-data can be used as the other binary-data's specification of length.

Furthermore, this library handles all binary-data under the lazy evaluation.
So you can read required parts of a binary-data very quickly even if whole of the binary-data is too big,

Notice
------
Currently, this library supports only READ of binary-data.
So you cannot WRITE binary-data directly with this library.

Usage
-----
Look at following examples to quickly understand how to use this library.

### Install ###
    $ gem install binary_parser

### Example 1  ###
Consider the following (temporary) binary structures which describe Image data.

MyImage (non-fixed length)

	  Data Name
		Type
	  Bit Length
		Number Of Replications

	  height
		UInt
	  8
		1

	  width
		UInt
	  8
		1

	  RGB color bit-map
		UInt
	  8 * 3
		'height' * 'width'

	  has date?
		Flag
	  1
		1

	  date
		MyDate
	  31
		'has date?' is 1 => 1
else => 0

MyDate (31 bit)

	  Data Name
		Type
	  Bit Length
		Number Of Replications

	  year
		UInt
	  13
		1

	  month
		UInt
	  9
		1

	  day
		UInt
	  9
		1

You can define MyImage structure in ruby program as following code.

```ruby
require 'binary_parser'

class MyDate < BinaryParser::TemplateBase
  require 'date'

  Def do
    data :year,  UInt, 13
    data :month, UInt, 9
    data :day,   UInt, 9
  end

  def to_date
    return Date.new(year.to_i, month.to_i, day.to_i)
  end
end

class MyImage < BinaryParser::TemplateBase
  Def do
    data :height, UInt, 8
    data :width,  UInt, 8

    # Loop statement
    TIMES var(:height), :i do
      TIMES var(:width), :j do
        data :R, UInt, 8
        data :G, UInt, 8
        data :B, UInt, 8
      end
    end

    data :has_date, Flag, 1

    # Condition statement
    # * If you want to check whether variable-name is valid, alternative expression
    #     IF cond(:has_date){|v| v.on?} do ~ end
    #   is also available.
    IF E{ has_date.on? } do
      data :date, MyDate, 31
    end
  end
end
```

And then you can parse and read binay-data of MyImage as follows.

```ruby
File.open('my_image.bin', 'rb') do |f|
  image = MyImage.new(f.read)
  puts "Image size: #{image.height}x#{image.width}"
  ul = image.i[0].j[0]
  puts "RGB color at the first is (#{ul.R}, #{ul.G}, #{ul.B})"
  puts "Image date: #{image.date.to_date}"
end
```

If 'my_image.bin' is binary-data-file of [0x02, 0x02, 0xe7,0x39,0x62, 0x00,0x00,0x00, 0xe7,0x39,0x62, 0x00,0x00,0x00, 0x9f, 0x78, 0x08, 0x03],
you can get output as follows.

    Image size: 2x2
    RGB color at the first is (231, 57, 98)
    Image date: 2014-04-03

For your information, you can dump all binary-data's information as follows.

```ruby
File.open('my_image.bin', 'rb') do |f|
  image = MyImage.new(f.read)
  image.show(true)
end
```

### Example 2  ###
You can also define other structures as follows.

```ruby
class DefExample < BinaryParser::TemplateBase
  Def do
    data :loop_byte_length, UInt, 8

    # Loop until 'loop_byte_length' * 8 bits are parsed.
    SPEND var(:loop_byte_length) * 8, :list do

      data :length, UInt,   8

      # You can specify length by neigbor value.
      data :data,   Binary, var(:length) * 8
    end

    data :v1, UInt, 8
    data :v2, UInt, 8

    # Number of Condition variables is arbitary.
    IF cond(:v1, :v2){|v1, v2| v1 == v2} do

      # +, -, *, / is available to specify length with variable.
      data :v3, UInt, 8 * (var(:v1) + var(:v2))
    end
  end
end
```

You can check this definition by giving some binary-data and calling show method as follows.

```ruby
binary = [0x05, 0x01, 0xff, 0x02, 0xff, 0xff, 0x01, 0x01, 0x01, 0x01].pack("C*")
i = DefExample.new(binary)
i.show(true)
```

Output for above checking-code is shown below.

```
*--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
loop_byte_length  Pos:      0  Len:      8  Type:       UInt  Cont: 5
list              Pos:      8  Len:     40  Type:   LoopList  Cont: list with 2 elements
  [0]
    *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    length  Pos:      0  Len:      8  Type:       UInt  Cont: 1
    data    Pos:      8  Len:      8  Type:     Binary  Cont: [0xff]
  [1]
    *--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    length  Pos:      0  Len:      8  Type:       UInt  Cont: 2
    data    Pos:      8  Len:     16  Type:     Binary  Cont: [0xff, 0xff]
v1                Pos:     48  Len:      8  Type:       UInt  Cont: 1
v2                Pos:     56  Len:      8  Type:       UInt  Cont: 1
v3                Pos:     64  Len:     16  Type:       UInt  Cont: 257
```

### Example 3  ###
If you want to operate Stream-data, StreamTemplateBase class is useful. Define stream as follows.

```ruby
class StreamExample < BinaryParser::StreamTemplateBase
  # Stream which consists of 4bytes-binary-datas.
  Def(4) do
    data :data1, UInt,   8
    data :data2, Binary, 24
  end
end
```

And then, get structures from the stream as follows.

```ruby
File.open('my_image.bin', 'rb') do |f|
  stream = StreamExample.new(f)
  packet = stream.get_next
  puts "data1: #{packet.data1}, data2: #{packet.data2}"
  stream.get_next.show(true)
end
```

StreamTemplateBase has many useful methods to choose structures from the stream.
If you want to know detail of these methods, please read documentation or concerned source-files.

We at Vakil Housing believe that we don't just build homes, we also built relationships.
In our 17 years of experience in the real estate industry we have not just developed innumerable projects, but also forged the bond of trust with many happy and satisfied home owners.
And that's what we cherish the most. The appreciation we receive from people for building their dream home just as they imagined.
And while our customer's satisfaction is our primary goal, sometimes these gracious tokens of appreciation by them hold a special place in our hearts.
Here is the story of one such moment, gifted to us by residents of Vakil Hosur Hills.
Vakil Hosur Hills, is one gem amongst projects, nestled in the quiet Hills of Hosur, far away from the chaos of city. This picturesque project, isn't just a celebrated piece of beauty in itself, but has also turned out to be a lucrative investment, with the project value appreciating many folds in the subsequent years of its sale.
So when we handed over the project to the association we never imagined our customers had this beautiful surprise in store for us.
The association members payed a visit to our Kormangala office, for celebrating the New Years with the staff.
We had a great time celebrating with the residents and their love and gratitude truly left us overwhelmed.
We hope to continue building great homes and forging many such relationships along the way.
Buying a home is not an easy task today. You have to narrow down on a location, neighbourhood, find a home that matches your budgets, your personal requirements and which has promising appreciation.
Those looking for a home will tell you of the hours spent on research and commuting to multiple destinations to look for a home. The slew of advertisements in newspapers and the multitude of offers simply add to the confusion.

Q: how to add image to toast in react native,is it possible? import Toast from 'react-native-View-Toast'
here i am trying to add an image to toast to see how it works and i want to know types of toast libraries
and there uses in react-native

A: You can use the setView() method to add the imageview or any view to the Toast notification, use this method to customize the Toast as needed.
Here i have created a Custom layout file to be inflated into the Toast notification, and then i have used this layout in Toast by using setView() method.

American Mathematical Society (AMS) är en organisation för professionella matematiker med syfte att främja matematisk forskning och utbildning och bistår det nationella och internationella matematikersamhället meddelst publikationer, möten och annat.

Sällskapet är en av de fyra delarna av Joint Policy Board for Mathematics (JPBM) och medlem av Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences (CBMS).

Historia
Sällskapet bildades 1888 som New York Mathematical Society på initiativ av Thomas Fiske som imponerats av London Mathematical Society under ett besök i England. John Howard Van Amringe blev dess förste president och Fiske blev sekreterare. Sällskapet belutade strax att ge ut en tidskrift, men stötte på motstånd i form av bekymmer om konkurrens från  American Journal of Mathematics. Resultatet blev Bulletin of the New York Mathematical Society, med Fiske som chefredaktör. Tidskriften bidrog starkt till att öka medlemsantalet. Bulletinens popularitet ledde inom kort till  Transactions of the American Mathematical Society och Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, även dessa var egentligen "journaler". År 1891 blev Charlotte Scott den första kvinnliga medlemmen i sällskapet. Sällskapet reorganiserades under sitt nuvarande namn och blev ett nationellt sällskap 1894 och detta år blev Scott den första kvinnan i sällskapets styrelse. Sällskapets huvudkvarter flyttades 1951 från New York till Providence, Rhode Island. Sällskapet ivrade 1954 för en ny utbildningsgrad i matematik, en "Doctor of Arts" som påminde om en doktorsgrad utan avhandling. Julia Robinson blev sällskapets första kvinnliga president (1883-1884) men kunde inte fullfölja sin period på grund av leukemi. Sällskapet öppnade också ett kontor i Ann Arbor, Michigan 1984 och ett i Washington DC 1992. Journal of the American Mathematical Society startades 1988 med intentionen att vara flaggskepp åt AMS.

Meetings
AMS, tillsammans med Mathematical Association of America och andra organisationer arrangerar de största årliga matematikträffarna i världen, Joint Mathematics Meeting som avhålls tidigt i januari. Mötet i San Diego 2013 samlade över 6600 deltagare. Vardera av sällskapets fyra regionala sektioner (Central, Eastern, Southeastern and Western) håller möten varje vår och höst. Sällskapet är även medsponsor av möten i samarbete med andra organisationer.

Fellows
Sällskapet utser årligen en grupp "fellows" som har gjort stora bidrag till framstegen inom matematiken.

Publikationer
Sällskaper publicerar Mathematical Reviews, en databas över recensioner av matematiska publikationer, diverse tidskrifter och böcker. År 1997 övertog sällskapet Chelsea Publishing Company vilket de fortsatt använda som förlagsetikett.

Tidskrifter:

BIG KENNY SADDLES UP WITH RIDE TV FOR CONGRESSIONAL BASEBALL GAME
Serene Fletcher

Award Winning Singer/Songwriter singing at event and supporting Congressional Sports for Charity with RIDE TV.
Monday, June 24, 2019, Washington D.C. – Nationwide cable and satellite television network, RIDE TV, is proud to partner with Big Kenny, of the country duo Big & Rich, to bring awareness and support for Congressional Sports for Charity at the 2019 Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.
"We asked Big Kenny to join us at this year's Congressional Baseball Game for Charity, because he represents so many things that we at RIDE TV stand for," said Michael Fletcher, CEO, RIDE TV. "He supports what is good for America, specifically rural America, and what is more American than baseball and bipartisan members of Congress working together to raise money for charity?"
Big Kenny is a Virginia native, who was born and raised on a farm in Culpeper, VA. He is also an avid humanitarian, supporting hometown charities such as the Salem Church and Salem Volunteer Fire and Rescue, to The 2030 Collaborative, which addresses global health and development of policy and funding to a better, safer and more sustainable world for everyone, as well as veterans, police forces and more. Big Kenny is someone who believes in doing good for all humans, regardless of which side of the congressional aisle they identify with. Big Kenny will be singing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," at the 5th inning stretch of the game.
Big Kenny and RIDE TV found alignment through their mutual support and love for rural and heartland America. RIDE TV's goal is to serve an audience that often goes under-served when it comes to content, entertainment and news that affect them personally. Big Kenny's rural heritage gives him a unique insight into this need, and beyond that, he stays connected to this group through musical talents. Country music is the soundtrack to the heart and soul of rural America.
"Looking out for rural America is an important bipartisan issue," said Big Kenny, of the country duo Big & Rich. "We can all agree that top rated healthcare, the fastest communication networks and the best schools should not be limited to a few major cities across the country. I am excited to participate in this year's Congressional Baseball Game for Charity and advocate for these issues, as well as support charities near my hometown."
The Congressional Baseball Game for Charity is an annual event played by members of the United States Congress. The game is a bipartisan tradition enjoyed by politicians and citizens alike, where Democrats and Republican members of Congress form teams and play against each other at Nationals Park. The tradition of the Congressional Baseball Game for Charity is about setting aside politics and coming together across the aisle to support children and families in need. Charities supported include the Washington Literacy Center, The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation and many others, including some that aim to show gratitude to the United States Capitol Police officers and those injured at the Republican practice shooting on June 14, 2017.
The Congressional Baseball Game for Charity will take place on June 26th. For tickets and information on attending or donating, please visit www.CongressionalBaseball.org.

Amy Grant Kicks Off 2022 With a New Granddaughter
Celebrity News25572Country Music News25572Music News25572News25572Uncategorized | January 6, 2022
Amy Grant's 2022 is off to a great start! The gospel singer reveals her daughter Millie Long, from her first marriage to Gary Chapman, has welcomed her first child with her husband, Ben, a baby girl named Penelope Willow. The baby was born in a Nashville hospital on January 3 at 10:14 AM, weighing 7 pounds, 12 ounces, and measuring 20 inches at birth.
"What a way to kick off 2022!" Grant tells People. "We are over the moon at her safe delivery. Mom and baby are doing great!"
It's a bit of a full-circle moment for Grant, who wrote her hit song, "Baby, Baby," when Millie was an infant.
"It is hard to believe that same six-week-old girl who inspired the lyrics to 'Baby Baby' is now a beautiful married woman," Grant reflected on Long's wedding day. "Her life has given us a lot of reasons to dance and celebrate through the years!"
This isn't Grant's first experience being a grandmother. The 61-year-old already has experience with two grandchildren, thanks to her stepdaughter, Jenny.
"I inherited Jenny when I married Vince [Gill]," Grant reveals. "She's 37, and we have two grandkids from her and [her husband] Josh. She tours with me and is a great harmony singer."
Grant has more to celebrate than just a new grandchild. She is also enjoying good health, after undergoing heart surgery in 2020 to correct a congenital heart defect.
"My birth defect was an encroaching killer, and I had no idea," Grant said on Good Morning America. "So my advice would be take care of yourself. The world needs you. Even if you feel like everything is fine, you don't really know what's going on on the inside. I think women tend to put their health on the back burner. It's more like, 'Oh my children, my grandchildren, my work, my spouse — all of those things. And we need the gift of each other. So even if you go, 'Oh, I've got nothing on the radar,' just get somebody else to check it out."
Grant released Heart in Motion 30th Anniversary Edition last year. The two-disc collection included both new songs and re-recorded versions of some of her previous hits, including "Baby, Baby," "Every Heartbeat," "That's What Love Is For," and more. Find all of her music at AmyGrant.com.

Last week, 17 Artex employees and their family members participated in a charitable event in partnership with the Bermuda Zoological Society (BZS) – a registered Bermuda charity that supports the Bermuda Aquarium, Museum and Zoo.
In 2015 BZS purchased a 2.4 acre lot on Trunk Island, in Harrington Sound, with plans to create an outdoor classroom for schoolchildren and adults. This "living classroom" highlights conservation and the environment, and all classes for Bermuda's students on Trunk Island are free of charge. BZS also uses the island for overnight camps, educational workshops and nature encounters. The island's restoration is still underway, as teams work to clear it of invasive plants and replace endemics. The afternoon of December 9, the Artex team worked together to cull and remove invasive Brazilian Pepper Trees, aiding in the restoration of the island to its native habitat.
"Artex has been part of the Bermuda community for 20 years and we're proud to support its continual development. The conservation of our island and the ability to teach both children and adults to understand and respect what makes us unique is a privilege. We're so happy that we have the chance to give back to our local community," said Robert Eastham, Managing Director-Bermuda.
Artex provides a full range of alternative risk management solutions, customized for our clients' individual challenges and opportunities. Powered by independent thought and an innovative approach, we empower our clients and partners to make educated risk management decisions with confidence. Licensed in 31 jurisdictions throughout the globe, we are critically resourced to supply any alternative risk need. Artex is a solutions company and we invite you to learn more about our breadth of services and depth of talent at www.artexrisk.com.


We love Hedsor House, an exclusive Georgian country home tucked away in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside. We joke that it has a micro-climate all of its own, because every wedding we have photographed there, the weather has been on our side. Even days when the rain clouds have opened, it's only been for a couple of minutes before the sun comes out again.
It is a stunning venue that ticks so many boxes as a great place to host your wedding. Near to Heathrow and just 40mins from London, it has spectacular grounds, a beautiful domed centre hall, a grand staircase, spacious rooms, fabulous light, a gorgeous new bridal suite, ten bedrooms, and not least, a fantastic team who go out of their way to make your wedding a dream occasion.
This Thursday 22nd October, Hedsor House is opening its grand doors to its Autumn Wedding Showcase. If you are looking for your perfect wedding venue, do go along. It's the ideal opportunity to meet the team and view the house. There's going to be some fabulous suppliers attending, including Petit Gateau, Lavender Green Flowers and Sternberg Clarke.
Oh, and I will be there too! On hand to chat about anything and everything regarding your wedding photography.
Please do come along. It promises to be a great evening.
In the meantime, here are some of my favourite moments from a recent wedding I photographed at Hedsor earlier this Summer. Yes, the rain did come – but momentarily. And it certainly didn't stop the wedding being one of the most fun and full of love days I have had the joy to document. Nathalie + George… thank you for having me there. I loved it and you are a fantastic couple!
Beautiful photos! Magnificent event and you captured it perfectly!


Five years ago, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting designed an opportunity to expose employees to smart thinking and the latest technology, through a two-day coding event called the Code Games. Participation in this annual event has grown 2,000% since 2014 with over 800 employees competing in more than 20 cities around the world. After forty-eight hours, teams present their innovation to a panel of judges that span from Wolters Kluwer executives, customers and industry thought-leaders. In addition to bragging rights, winning teams enter the champion-of-champion competition for an opportunity to move their idea through to the Tax & Accounting iLab for further research and development. Click to view the 2018 Code Games Highlight Video.
The growth of the Code Games can be attributed to a focused purpose, cross-functional engagement and continued program innovation.


Started coding on a couple of main sections for Thunderball - the individual lottery page and the Ticket Checker. I've dropped the TV Home Play checking from the latter and put in a menu option for Thunderball instead, but the coding isn't finished yet. I've actually spotted a bug that's been in the old Ticket Checker for ages, but since hardly anyone would ever come across it, it's not vital to fix it yet.
The chat room was reasonably busy for tonight's live TV show commentary and draw (unusually presented by Carol Smillie - her first ever Saturday show I believe) and everything went fine. I put up the full results before anyone else.
Received both the Thunderball How to Play leaflet and the Rules and Procedures booklet, so I'm starting coding on a new Thunderball section today. The "overflow" rules if too many people win in the Thunderball game are amazingly complex ! Added a Thunderball section with a How To Play leaflet transcription and a FAQ.
Bought a couple of extra tickets for tomorrow's rollover. Phoned Camelot and they are going to send me a How to Play Thunderball leaflet (surprisingly unavailable at Liverpool lottery retailers, despite other point of sale material being displayed for Thunderball) plus, more importantly, the Rules and Procedures booklet for Thunderball (this is needed because there's special rules about prize tier reductions if there's loads of winners in a particular tier or overall).
The chat room was only moderately busy for tonight's TV show commentary (not much to that - the show was under 3 minutes long !) and live draw. In fact, the show was so quick, people came in afterwards thinking it hadn't taken place yet !
Obviously the BBC gave up against ITV's live European Cup Final coverage (Manchester United were rather lucky to win that 2-1) and decided to rush the show through, ironically making it a perfect lottery in the show in the process. I was the first to put up the full results as usual.
Received another sales figures fax from Camelot today, with a corrected scratchcards figure for 3rd April (it was normal after all) and also the latest week's figures to complete the set. Adjusted the main and winning number pairs pages to cut off a couple of the tiers because the page was getting too long.
A second (clearly manual) update of the unclaimed prizes list in the News page by the official Camelot site's Webmaster yesterday meant that the last table row (for draw 344) had different HTML from all the others. This threw my parsing code for a loop and it initially ignored it, but I've adjusted it to compensate for the manual hack.
Received a sales figures fax from Camelot for the first time in a couple of months (and that was only because I phoned them up and reminded them). Sadly, they didn't include the figures for last week, but there was also a surprising scratchcards figure for the week ending 3rd April - only £5,665,969 (half the normal sales) ! I'm not sure if that was a mistake or not, so I've asked Camelot to double-check it.
The chat room was reasonably busy tonight for Brian Conley's final lottery TV show (hooray !), in which he sang an excruciating four numbers and sadly didn't choke on the marshmallows (yes, this is high-quality entertainment from the BBC) that were thrown into his mouth. The commentary and live draw went fine and I was the first to put up the full results.
Downgraded my ISDN Pipeline 50's firmware and all is normal with my home Net connection again.
I upgraded the firmware in my ISDN Pipeline 50 last night and that might have been a mistake because I couldn't connect directly to our intranet from my ISDN connection again. This time it wasn't quite as serious because I could jump from our Internet to intranet via an extra machine, but it was just very inconvenient indeed.
People began to arrive in the chat room just prior to the TV show starting and trickled in leading up to the live draw which went OK tonight. Unlike last Wednesday, it was straightforward enough to re-generate the Web pages and everything was fairly smooth on the outside even if somewhat more painful behind the scenes. I was the first to put up the full results as usual.
The ISDN finally "behaved" today and everything was fine for the live lottery TV show commentary and draw, even if no-one turned up for the first 5 (of 25 !) minutes of the show :-( Eventually, there were half a dozen people in the room and I was the first to put up the full results.
As soon as I got into work, I re-generated the site fully, so that the analysis, ticket checking and other Web pages were available with the Wednesday draw info. Still had ISDN problems connecting from home both tonight and the following evening - it wasn't until Saturday morning that I finally managed to connect successfully.
Received subscription info about Camelot's new Thunderball lottery game that starts next month, though the one piece of info missing from it all was when the first draw would take place (Saturday 16th June 1999, but I found that out by phoning Camelot). The game looks very poor indeed - fixed prize tiers (jackpot is £250,000 but it's nearly 4m to 1 to win it), tickets still cost £1 and there's no rollovers. I'm not going to play it because, like the scratchcards, you can't be a millionaire [plus it doesn't help that my main UK lottery tickets all have at least two numbers above 34 in them meaning I can't use my "favourite" numbers for Thunderball].
We had problems with our Ascend Max box this week and a new box we put in its place "misbehaved" for several days until its configuration was sorted out. All of this meant that I only just got connected via ISDN from home before the TV show started and I couldn't get access to our intranet in order to build the lottery pages on my work machine.
This meant a hairy set of manual page edits (though the actual live TV show commentary and draw in the chat room were fine) to sort out the home page and individual lottery page (minus the full analysis) with the winning numbers and the prize amounts/winners and ticket sales. I couldn't even get back on at all from home after 10pm !
It was pretty quiet in the chat room until about half way through the lottery TV show when people started to trickle in. The TV show commentary and draw went OK, but Camelot procrastinated with the full results for about 45 minutes. ITV teletext put up the upper tier (jackpot/5+bonus) info by the time I updated my pages with the full results, but they strangely omitted the lower tier results for a few minutes, allowing me to beat them to displaying the full set. With BBC teletext having no updates at all, I therefore was the first to put up the full results.
It was a tough evening because I was doing live soccer commentary in our Liverpool FC chat room on the Liverpool vs. Manchester United match in addition to popping into the lottery chat room at half-time to do the lottery commentary and draw, which went OK.
Because of the soccer comms, I phoned up Camelot later than usual (full-time was around 9.50pm - 2-2 draw if you're interested), but I still got the full results up quicker than other Web sites.
Phoned up Camelot and got the Vernons Easy Play ticket sales (belatedly !).
The chat room was pretty busy tonight thanks to the £20m Super Draw and the live TV show commentary and draw went fine. The lottery TV show announced that there were 8 jackpot winners just before it ended, but then Camelot stalled and stalled for over 100 minutes before issuing the full results.
In fact, ITV teletext (and BBC teletext shortly after) had the full results some 80 minutes after the draw, so I used those provisionally until Camelot confirmed them. Also, there was no ticket sales info for the Vernons Easy Play this week (due to Vernons sending a fax to Camelot when Camelot's fax machine wasn't working), so I'll have to contact Camelot about that tomorrow.

Wondering what's going on in the California real estate market? Need to know how current conditions will impact your home sale? Looking to buy and want to know what you're up against? Keep reading for answers!
Article after article says it's a good time to be a home seller right now – and that's especially true in California. A long-standing housing shortage with no end in sight has led to insatiable buyer demand, which means homes are selling quickly. Sellers have the upper-hand when it comes to negotiations and homes are selling for good returns, sometimes even generating multiple offers and above-list sale prices.
Even though it's very much a seller's market, it's not all bad news for buyers. Despite small rises, when compared to prior years, mortgage rates are still at historical lows. That means you have more budget to work with. That said, today's buyers should be wary of over-negotiating. With so much competition in the market, if you ask for concessions, you're likely to lose out to a better offer. This is anticipated to be the case throughout 2017, so be prepared to be patient and be willing to compromise on your nice-to-have home features.
The health of the real estate market is strongly tied to the health of the local economy, and the California economy is expected to remain strong throughout 2017. Because jobs are readily available and incomes are stable, more people are expected to be able to qualify for loans and to purchase a new home this year. As a side effect, this will increase demand for quality homes, making the market even stronger for sellers.
To summarize, California home sellers are in an excellent position to make a profit off of their home right now, while buyers will need to exercise patience as they search for their dream home.
Buying or selling this year?


People in London are determined not to let the recession spoil their spring breaks, with thousands still planning to jet off to Europe over the Easter break.
Low-fares airline easyJet is reporting strong sales from London airports. Geneva, the gateway to Europe's best ski resorts is the top destination from Stanstead, Luton and Gatwick airports, followed by Spanish cities Malaga, Alicante, Palma, and Barcelona.
Paul Simmons, easyJet's UK general manager, said: "Easter is traditionally one of our busiest periods of the year, and this year is no different. People are keen to escape the doom and gloom of the recession and are taking advantage of some great bargains to destinations across Europe."
"In contrast to predictions that people would be heading out of the Eurozone to take advantage of more favourable exchange rates, our sales figures are also showing that people sticking to Western Europe.
"All of the top destinations - Switzerland and Spain - have a flight time of less than three hours from most UK airports, so it seems that people are choosing quick getaways rather than cheap currency."
Nationwide easyJet is predicted to welcome over half a million passengers at fifteen UK airports over the Easter holidays.
easyJet is Europe's leading low-fares airline, currently operating 171 aircraft on 416 routes between 110 airports in 27 countries. easyJet carried 45 million passengers in the past 12 months.


David Geffen Net Worth & Bio/Wiki 2018: Facts Which You Must To Know!
It's been reported the total sum of David Geffen net worth reaches 5.5 billion dollars, which additionally makes him one of the most affluent individuals on earth. David Geffen is regarded as as one of not so many producers, who created various popular generation businesses, which are known globally.
Ten years later, his second generation business was created which was called "Geffen Records". All these three firms add lots of sales to the entire sum of David Geffen net worth year after year. Additionally, in 1994 David Geffen co-worked in creating another business called "DreamWorks SKG", which produced many success movies which are known globally.
Yet, shortly after the postal got a job place in the "William Morris Agency", David Geffen determined to be a private representative which additionally raised David Geffen net worth a lot. The postal became an representative of artists like Crosby, Still and Nash and Laura Nyro.
Among the best truth about David Geffen is that he started his career as an entrepreneur in his occupation in postal office. There, he soon began to act as a talent agent. David wished to work in the "William Morris Agency" but so that you can get a place there, he needed to show his diploma. David Geffen failed to end any university and school, so, he acquired a fraudulent diploma and got a place in "William Morris Agency". In his phony diploma, David Geffen wrote he was the grad of the University of California at la. In addition, in the postal service he worked with some folks who afterwards got involved into business sector with him, including Elliot Roberts.

The New Mexico State baseball team got off to a hot start in WAC play by winning its first two series. The Aggies took two of three games from both the California State Bakersfield Roadrunners and the Chicago State Cougars in late March. In between the two WAC series, the Aggies defeated their inner-state rival, the New Mexico Lobos.
The Aggies went into their first series against a WAC opponent with a 15-5 record. New Mexico State welcomed the CSU Bakersfield Roadrunners to Presley Askew Field March 22–24 for their first matchup against a conference foe.
The Aggies lost the first game to the Roadrunners by a final score of 4-9. The next day, the Aggies were able to overcome their loss and defeated the Roadrunners 23-1. They had 20 hits on the day, and it was the fourth game of the season where the Aggies score more than 20 runs. The final and deciding game of the series went to the Aggies as they edged out the Roadrunners, 12-9.
Following their first weekend series in conference play, the Aggies hosted their inter-state rival, the New Mexico Lobos on March 26. The Aggies jumped out to a quick 4-0 lead in their first at-bats, but the following inning they allowed the Lobos to score four runs of their own to tie the game heading into the third inning.
The Aggies would get six runs in the next couple of innings to take a 10-4 lead heading into the fifth inning. The Aggies would not look back from there and were able to get the win against their rival by a final score of 13-5.
The Aggies then traveled to Chicago to take on the Chicago State Cougars for another WAC weekend series March 29–31. The Aggies again were able to take two of three from their WAC opponent and win the series. The Aggies won the first game 9-2, but came up a little short in the second game as they lost, 3-7. In the final game of the series, the Aggies left no doubt who the better team was as they defeated the Cougars 12-0.
Currently, the New Mexico State baseball team is leading the nation in multiple team hitting categories including batting average, hits, runs, home runs and slugging percentage. According to d1baseball.com, Nick Gonzales is the No. 1 ranked second baseman in the nation. He currently leads the nation in batting average and is near the top in multiple other hitting categories.
The baseball team is getting ready for its third weekend series against a WAC opponent as the Aggies host the Grand Canyon Antelopes this weekend at Presley Askew Field. The first game of the three-game series is Friday, April 5, at 6:05 p.m.

Pogba in Neymar admission as he drops first hint of Man Utd unhappiness
Paul Pogba has dropped a big hint over his Manchester United future after admitting that he would love to play alongside PSG attacker, and Real Madrid, target Neymar.
The France star has had a mixed season at Old Trafford, starting the campaign well before coming under increased criticism from United boss Jose Mourinho after a string of poor performances.
Mourinho has not been afraid to drop the club's record signing and there have been strong rumours of a falling out between the two, leading to speculation that Pogba could be on his way at the end of the season.
A return to Juventus has been mooted but it would appear that the 25-year-old would love to be in the same side as Neymar, who has been tipped to return to Spain with Real Madrid despite only being in France since last summer.
Speaking to TyC Sports, Pogba said of the Brazilian: "I love the way he is and at some moment in time we're going to play together."
"Yes, Neymar, Neymar. I also like him. He also has the definition of happiness on the pitch. In Brazil football is everything, it's life in Brazil. Everyone plays football.
"I love to see him on the pitch playing, with his technique and his ability. It's a different style. When you say the word Neymar around the world, everyone knows who he is and what he does.
"Therefore if I could play with him one day it would be a pleasure."
The latest reports surrounding Pogba's future suggest that his agent, Mino Raiola, is sounding out potential buyers for the midfielder as he no longer wants to work under Mourinho.
Pogba made the move back to Old Trafford for a record-breaking £89m in the summer 2016, having previously been an academy player at the club.

When you're creating the perfect home, there's no shortage of plates to keep spinning. From the landscaping which surrounds your house to the interior architecture which determines the flow, movement and logic of your interior spaces, there's much to keep in mind if you want a truly remarkable home.
Many of those elements are fixed, but some aren't – like your interior design. It's simple enough at any point to swap in new pieces of furniture, apply a fresh coat of paint and rearrange your living spaces. Getting it right though? That's the tricky part.
Historically, home design was either one of two things – modern or retro. You were either buying into the very latest trends or evoking a previous era. These days, things are a little different.
Our pick'n'mix culture means that we're more eclectic than ever in our tastes, able to mix choice pieces from the past and present with relative ease.
Best of all, these 'contemporary vintage' interior designs suit properties both old and new, blending the space-highlighting nature of modern interior design with the characterful nature of vintage interiors.
Modern interior design emphasises light, bright tones. Not only does this make rooms feel bigger, it better emphasises the vintage design elements you incorporate throughout your home.
If you've ever seen a modern piece of furniture in a stately home, you'll understand that starting with a bright, clean and modern base is the smart choice.
Whatever era you're pulling from, whether it's Victorian or 60s, the emphasis should always be on quality. Great craftsmanship and design always look good, so don't look to save money in this area.
Look for objects with real weight to them and for objects which are in good condition. A little rust can look appealing in the right environment, but an object that's clearly reached the end of its life will only serve to reduce the overall impact of your design.
The vintage elements of your design are key to the overall cohesion of the look you're shooting for, so don't hide them away – make them central to your design.
By using vintage furniture and design as a focal point in the room, you highlight their importance and draw visitors' eyes to them. For this reason, large pieces of vintage furniture, like sofas and tables make for excellent choices in a contemporary vintage living space.
One of the great joys of vintage design is that, often, they utilised big, bold patterns. It's a style that was lost as we entered the modern era, but it's back in a big way now.
So, don't be afraid to mix in patterns with your block, neutral colours. Whether it's a pair of luxurious, arts-and-crafts inspired curtains or a thick, Persian rug – you'll be delighted by the effect that a bold pattern can have in an otherwise neutral space.

These further Actions are known as Complications.

Your job in the Second Act is to show and track this complexity of reasons, as they develop.

STRUCTURE is when things happen BECAUSE of the other.
Each scene's life must be born inside the womb of a preceding scene.
It's time again to check if an extraneous scene slipped through your outline level.

Pran – the villain India hated... and loved too!
By Rajeev K Khattar
A gentleman of the finest order...an admirable colleague....a thorough professional .. a master of disguise in the characters he played .. a delightful companion after 'office hours' .. and a considerate human," Bachchan wrote on his blog in his tribute to Pran.
Bollywood's famous villain was instrumental in getting Bachchan his career's first hit 'Zanjeer', which also saw him giving one of the finest performances of his career as Sher Khan.
Pran Krishan Sikand or simply Pran , as he was popularly known , was born on 12th Feb 1920 at Delhi . He had taken bollowood villainy to a different plane . He was the only villain who had the ability to shock the audience with his iconic style of delivering the dialogues in his typical crispy voice.
Not many people know that prior to his film career, the actor wanted to become a professional photographer and worked as an apprentice with a company. In the year 1938,this job took him to Shimla, where he played the role of Sita in a local staging of 'Ramlila' at the age of 18 years.
It was Wali Mohammad Wali, who worked for producer Dalsukh M. Pancholi in Lahore , had spotted Pran at a local Pan shop and offered him a role in the film.
Pran will be forever remembered for bringing villains on par with the heroes. He commanded equal money and respect for his negative characters in 'Madhumati', 'Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai', 'Ram Aur Shyam' and 'Devdas'.
The actor's baritone and good looks helped him bring charm to his villainy which was very unique to Pran. Such was the magic of his onscreen roles that parents stopped naming their children 'Pran' at the height of his fame.
His chameleon-like ability helped Pran transform himself from one of the most hated onscreen villains to one of the most beloved character actors -- be it the 'Mangal chacha' in 'Upkar', Sher Khan of opposite Amitabh Bachchan in 'Zanjeer' or the discipline-loving but soft-hearted grandfather in Gulzar's 'Parichay'.
Let us analyse what numerology has to say about him.
As he was born on 12th Feb 1920 , his birth number is 3 and destiny number is 8 . His popular name Pran , numerologicaly adds to 7 . These three numbers had played very important role in his life.
His name number 7
He achieved success as the leading man in Hindi film from Khandaan in 1942 ( 1+9+4+2 = 7 ).
After eight months of arriving in Mumbai, Pran -- with the help of writer Saadat Hasan Manto and actor Shyam -- got a role in Shaheed Latif's Ziddi ( Numerologically ZIDDI totals to 7 )
In the year 1960 ( 1+9+6 + 0 = 7 )He was acclaimed for his role in Jis Desh Men Ganga Behti Hai
1969 ( totals to 7 ) – Filmfare Best Supporting Actor Award for Aansoo Ban Gaye Phool
Who can forget his role in Don , which was released in 1978 ( 1+9+7+8 = 7 ).
Pran was an avid collector of smoke pipes. Smoke is connected with the planet Ketu , associated with number 7.
Numbers 3 and 8
He first acted in 1938 ( 1+9+3+8 = 21 = 1+2 = 3 ) at the age of 18 ( 1+8 = 9 , a multiple of 3 ) .
1992 ( totals to 3 ) – Outstanding contribution to Indian Film Industry, Indian Motion Pictures Producers'
2001 ( totals to 3 ) – Padma Bhushan, India's third highest civilian award.
He got 44th ( 4+4 = 8 ) Dada Saheb Dadasaheb Phalke Award for Lifetime Achievement on 3rd ( 3 ) May 2013 at the age of 93 ( 9+3 = 3 ).
He took his last breath on 12th ( 3 ) July 2013 ( 12-7-2013 totals to 7 ) at the age of 93 93 ( 9+3 = 3 )
"What shall remain thankfully, shall be the immense volume of documented work that they leave behind, a work that has been laboured sweated and bloodied over years and years of harsh and severe commitment! We don't make the likes of them anymore...," Bachchan wrote.
May this gentleman villain's noble soul rest in peace.

Ithaca Tompkins airport changes Philadelphia service with Charlotte
Ithaca Journal
American Airlines has replaced its service between Ithaca and Philadelphia with a daily flight to and from Charlotte, doing so weeks before potentially announcing layoffs after federal CARES Act grants end on Sept. 30.
Forecasts show there are 75,000 jobs in the airline industry that will be in jeopardy once the relief runs out, according to ABC News.
"The airlines are now struggling with their very survival," said Ithaca Tompkins International Airport Director Mike Hall. "American has been very aggressive during the COVID period of time to restructure the airline to survive and be profitable again."
American's service changes also come two months after United Airlines dropped its flights between Ithaca and Washington, D.C., according to Hall. Prior to July, United petitioned the U.S. Department of Transportation so the carrier could temporarily stop service between the two airports due to decreased revenue caused by the pandemic.

American offered weekly flights between Ithaca and Charlotte in the past but had cancelled the service in the spring before bringing them back.
Besides American Airlines' service, the only other remaining option at the airport is the once daily service between Ithaca and Detroit provided by Delta Airlines. However, Hall said both American and Delta have plans to add additional flights to Charlotte and Detroit.
"We have conditions that are favorable in Charlotte — a larger hub, better weather..." said Hall, adding that the previous short service with Philadelphia relied on a hub that would sometimes struggle with air traffic.
Hall said United may resume service to Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. in January.
"I think they will come back to market, but we need to get to point where pandemic is not driving anything," Hall said. "If United returns, we will have service with Washington, Charlotte and Detroit — all of which are very reliable."
The Ithaca airport is now serving about one third of the passengers it normally serves — a rate that matches the current national average, according to Hall. Usually, the airport serves about 100,000 passengers each year.
Industry forecasts predict airlines' service, in passengers, will reach 50% at the end of the year, according to Hall. Forecasts also say the rate for airlines should reach 100% one year from now.
