Mothering Sunday

Observed the fourth Sunday of Lent, known as Laetare Sunday, a day when the strict fasting rules of Lent are traditionally relaxed.  The name referred to the practice of returning to one’s “mother church”—the main church or cathedral of the region—for a special service. Over time, this evolved into a day when people, especially young servants and apprentices working away from home, were given time off to visit their families and attend their home parish church and sharing Simnel Cake.

Maths and Sport

The use of “maths” instead of “math” is a difference in British English compared to American English. In British English, the word “mathematics” is often referred to as “maths,” with the added “s” signifying the plural form. This is consistent with how British English commonly shortens many words by adding an “s” to the end. For example, “physics” becomes “phys, “economics” becomes “econs,” and so on.

In contrast, American English typically shortens “mathematics” to “math” without the additional “s,” following a different pattern of abbreviation.

The reason for these linguistic differences is rooted in the historical development of the English language and regional linguistic variations that have evolved over time. British English and American English have diverged in certain aspects of vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar, resulting in variations like “maths” and “math.” It’s important to note that neither is inherently correct or incorrect; they are just regional preferences.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gresham College is a higher education institution located in London, UK. It was founded in 1597 under the will of Sir Thomas Gresham, a financier and merchant who left funds for the establishment of a college in the heart of the city.

The college’s original aim was to provide free public lectures in a range of subjects, including law, astronomy, geometry, and music. The lectures were intended to be accessible to anyone who was interested in learning, regardless of their background or social status.

Over the centuries, Gresham College has remained true to this mission, and today it continues to offer a range of free public lectures and events that are open to all.

LIVE: ABER Radio

The station was established in 1977, long before the advent of internet radio, with the goal of providing students a platform for creative expression, entertainment, and community involvement. Initially, it operated as a small, pirate-style radio station, broadcasting on a limited basis to the university campus. It mainly aired music and student-related content. Over time, the station evolved to include news, talk shows, and interviews, becoming an important part of student life and a voice for the university community.

In the early 1980s, after gaining recognition, the station was granted a temporary Restricted Service Licence (RSL) by Ofcom. This allowed it to broadcast legally on an official frequency for short periods. During this time, the station used various FM frequencies, with the exact frequency changing depending on licensing terms and specific broadcast periods.

In the 1990s, ABER Radio received an official license, enabling it to expand its reach and professionalize its operations. With this transition, the station began broadcasting online, offering a diverse range of programming from music and entertainment to news and current affairs. It also provided students with valuable experience in radio production, journalism, and broadcasting.
