![]() That same day also saw thousands of people attend a Mother’s Day event at one of Wanamaker’s retail stores in Philadelphia.įollowing the success of her first Mother’s Day, Jarvis-who remained unmarried and childless her whole life-resolved to see her holiday added to the national calendar. Following her mother’s 1905 death, Anna Jarvis conceived of Mother’s Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices mothers made for their children.Īfter gaining financial backing from a Philadelphia department store owner named John Wanamaker, in May 1908 she organized the first official Mother’s Day celebration at a Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia. The official Mother’s Day holiday arose in the 1900s as a result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves Jarvis. Some have even called Hering “the father of Mothers’ Day.”įlashback: A Knife-Throwing Mother Brings Her Family Into the Act Anna Jarvis Turns Mother's Day Into a National Holiday ![]() The duo of Mary Towles Sasseen and Frank Hering, meanwhile, both worked to organize a Mothers’ Day in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Other early Mother’s Day pioneers include Juliet Calhoun Blakely, a temperance activist who inspired a local Mother’s Day in Albion, Michigan, in the 1870s. In 1873 Howe campaigned for a “Mother’s Peace Day” to be celebrated every June 2. In 1870 Howe wrote the “Mother’s Day Proclamation,” a call to action that asked mothers to unite in promoting world peace. In 1868 Jarvis organized “Mothers’ Friendship Day,” at which mothers gathered with former Union and Confederate soldiers to promote reconciliation.Īnother precursor to Mother’s Day came from the abolitionist and suffragette Julia Ward Howe. These clubs later became a unifying force in a region of the country still divided over the Civil War. ![]() In the years before the Civil War, Ann Reeves Jarvis of West Virginia helped start “Mothers’ Day Work Clubs" to teach local women how to properly care for their children. The origins of Mother’s Day as celebrated in the United States date back to the 19th century. These holiday chats with Mom often cause phone traffic to spike by as much as 37 percent. This custom eventually faded in popularity before merging with the American Mother’s Day in the 1930s and 1940s.ĭid you know? More phone calls are made on Mother’s Day than any other day of the year. Over time the Mothering Sunday tradition shifted into a more secular holiday, and children would present their mothers with flowers and other tokens of appreciation. Once a major tradition in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe, this celebration fell on the fourth Sunday in Lent and was originally seen as a time when the faithful would return to their “mother church”-the main church in the vicinity of their home-for a special service. Celebrations of mothers and motherhood can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and Romans, who held festivals in honor of the mother goddesses Rhea and Cybele, but the clearest modern precedent for Mother’s Day is the early Christian festival known as “Mothering Sunday.”

Which is pretty much what happens when a ball hits a Spidercam. You know those miserable excuses airlines trot out when your plane has been delayed and they don’t want to pay compensation? Force majeure, act of god, and other such? Sometimes they are even true and despite your obvious inconvenience caused, you’re probably just going to have to suck it up. So it was a valid try – and it seems to be crucial for the concept of grounding to be better communicated to fans around the world in order to reduce confusion. Even if the ball is moving forward and continues to do so after he touches it as it did, that millisecond of simultaneous contact means the ball is dead and grounded. Rees-Zammit does not need to be holding the ball, he only needs to ensure simultaneous contact between finger and ball and ground, and not to have knocked on before. Grounding the ball: Grounding the ball either holding it and touching it to the ground in-goal, or placing hand, arm or front of body between waist and neck (the front torso) on top of the ball which is on the ground in-goal. So as long as Rees-Zammit grounds the ball correctly there cannot be a knock-on as the ball is dead before it moves forward. Anywhere within the field of play and Rees-Zammit would have ticked all the boxes under the knock-on definition: When a player hits the ball forward with the hand or arm, or when the ball hits the hand or arm and goes forward, and the ball touches the ground or another player before the original player can catch it.īut because the ball is in-goal, it is dead as soon as it is grounded. The key factor is where on the pitch the ball is. It was an exceptional piece of footballing skill from Louis Rees-Zammit to gingerly nudge the ball into the in-goal area with his foot despite travelling at his full and not inconsiderable speed.īut the stadium was restless as the replays of the touchdown assessment from the TMO were beamed out from the screen, with many thinking the Welsh wing had knocked on. ![]() Georgian fans – and all the neutrals who were in Nantes on Saturday – might want to dispute that assertion, while Samoans and English all felt their side had got the worst of the calls from Andrew Brace and especially his TMO.Īs ever, we’re here to sift through the processes and see who actually got this wrong.

As of the final week of the 2018 season, only 32 players (less than 2% of total players) remained in one of the prohibited helmets. Analysis of on-field game concussions for the 2015-2018 seasons showed that players wearing green helmets had a lower rate of reported concussions than those wearing yellow or red helmets.

The tests, designed jointly by NFL and NFLPA-appointed biomechanical engineers, simulate a subset of concussion-causing impacts sustained by NFL players during games to determine which helmets best reduced head impact severity in those conditions.The study continues to measure rotational velocity and acceleration as part of a combined metric to evaluate helmets.
