Mothering Sunday

Pablo Picasso, Mother and Child, 1963

In the United Kingdom, Mother’s Day, often called Mothering Sunday, is celebrated on the fourth Sunday of Lent, which is tied to the Christian calendar rather than a fixed date like in the US. For 2025, Easter Sunday is on April 20, and Lent begins 40 days earlier (excluding Sundays), placing the start of Lent around March 5. Counting forward, the fourth Sunday of Lent will be March 30. So, Mothering Sunday in the UK in 2025 will fall on March 30. It’s a day with historical roots in the church, originally about returning to one’s “mother” church, but now it’s a time to celebrate moms with flowers, cards, and family gatherings.

The Oxford and Cambridge Boat Race, also known simply as “The Boat Race,” is traditionally held on the River Thames in London, England. It typically takes place on the last Saturday of March or the first Saturday of April each year. However, the specific date may vary slightly depending on the calendar and other factors.

Illumination 300

Illumination technologies have had a pattern of consuming about 35 percent of building electrical energy use. That number has been pressed downward with the expanded application of LED luminaires and occupant responsive controls; much of the transformation hastened by the IEEE, IES and ASHRAE best practice catalogs.

Today we run through the development status of these products with specific interest in exterior illumination best practice. This topic also is covered in the 4 time monthly meetings of the IEEE Education & Healthcare Facilities Committee.
