Who invented first grade? Or second and third for that matter? Someone had to. Someone had to decide that it was a good idea to put all of the kids of the same age in one room and have one person teach them for a year before passing them on. But why? Today, story of the rise and fall of school system from the past that did things completely differently . . . why almost nobody has heard of it today . . . and what we have to learn from this almost forgotten experiment. This is the story of Andrew Bell and his Madras schools.

Ch. 13 - The Essence is Anicca from Journey of Insight Meditation by Eric Lerner THE TWO-BLADED FAN above my head cut ponderously through the thick, hot air. It was late April and the annual three-month heat wave was in full bloom in Madras. My own body temperature had gone amok with some indeterminate fever, and I'd spent the past three days in this hotel room waiting quietly for my illness to pass. It was a comfortable enough place to be sick, with its clean, white walls and stone floors, and outside, a balcony that overlooked gardened courtyards where huge trees reached up to the third tier of rooms. The dark and faintly musky atmosphere was almost Mediterranean. ... by Eric Lerner 2025 53 minutes 16 seconds Listen to Streaming Audio Your browser does not support the audio element.

There's a danger that when the new stadium opens in Christchurch next year, we'll have no idea exactly what speed we should be going when we drive around the area. At the moment, the council wants it to be 30kph on Madras Street, Tuam Street, Lichfield Street, Duke Street, Hereford Street and St Asaph Street. But now it's being told by the Government that it can't do that, and I think they should just make it 50kph. I'll explain why shortly. There are also parts where the council wants the limit to be 10kph on Lichfield Street between Madras and Manchester. Apparently, the council believes that that can stay based on the design of the street and expected traffic volumes. If we wind back the clock, 2023 was when the council consulted us on the 30kph limit and, apparently, it got the tick from people and so that's been the plan ever since. But between then and now, the Government's got involved because it's not into all these reduced speed limits that popped up under the last government. Which means the council has been told that it needs to drop the 30kph speed limit idea and the speed limit around the stadium needs to be at least 40kph. And the council being the council, has to go and do a whole new round of consultation. Which has central city councillor Jake McLellan saying that it's nothing but a waste of time and money. He says the council should be left to decide for itself what speed limit it wants around the stadium. Or anywhere for that matter. And I'm with him on that bit. Of course it should. Except I want the council to set a 50kph, for the simple reason that if the traffic is crawling, we will all crawl. When everyone is trying to get to or around the stadium when there's a big event on, the speed limit could be 100kph, but we'd all still be going about 20 or 30 or even 10kph. Which is why I think most people, if they were asked, would say there should be no special speed limit and it should just be 50. Because I think it's simple really. If there's an event on where there are truckloads of people making their way to the stadium, traffic will be at a standstill anyway. Or there'll be roads completely closed off. There are no speed limits around the Apollo Projects Stadium – or the “temporary” stadium, as it's also known. I know that it's not right on the street, like the new one in town will be, but when there's a match on there or a concert or whatever, the traffic is what it is. Just like it will be when the new one is up and running. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick gives his belated thoughts on Easter and reflects on how it's not about the doctrine but about the story: we are invited to live in the story of Easter and to allow it to give pattern to our lives. We talk about some classic story shapes, and how the Easter story is embodied in baptism and in the eucharist. Finally we reflect on what meal would tell our story: chicken Madras, or cheese and wine?

Le sommet mondial sur l'intelligence artificielle (IA) s'ouvre à Paris, lundi 10 février, avec l'Inde en tant que coprésidente de cet événement. Après avoir embrassé la révolution d'internet et le boom des start-ups, le pays souhaite désormais prendre part pleinement à la révolution mondiale de l'IA. Les start-ups se multiplient, créant de nombreux emplois, mais l'Inde demeure encore dépendante dans le domaine de la recherche fondamentale en IA. De notre envoyé spécial à Bangalore, Pavithra Ramanna travaille en terrasse d'un café végan dans un quartier huppé. L'entreprise Zuru AI, pour laquelle elle exerce, a fait le choix de ne pas posséder de bureaux physiques pour ses 3 000 employés : « Notre client nous demande de capturer des informations sur des documents, comme un permis de conduire. Noms, date de naissance : un algorithme se charge de les extraire. »Avec les avancées de l'IA, fini le temps des saisies manuelles et répétitives. « Le travail humain est passé au niveau supérieur. Il y a cinq ans, on notait tout à la main. Aujourd'hui, on repère juste les erreurs de l'algorithme pour maximiser sa fiabilité. Même dans l'intelligence générative, qui fait le buzz, cette supervision humaine est indispensable à la qualité », explique Pavithra Ramanna.À 32 ans, cette employée est optimiste sur le potentiel de l'IA pour l'Inde, la première population mondiale : « Ici, on est à Bangalore, le hub des nouvelles technologies en Inde. Mais nous créons des emplois dans des régions plus pauvres, où les opportunités sont moins nombreuses. »À lire aussiSommet de l'IA: Emmanuel Macron annonce 109 milliards d'euros d'investissements en FranceL'IA, une priorité nationaleLe Premier ministre, Narendra Modi, évoque l'IA dans presque chacun de ses discours. Convaincu que l'Inde peut en tirer profit, il sait également que la population indienne est particulièrement attirée par la tech. D'un côté, l'intelligence artificielle, de l'autre, l'Inde, qui aspire à innover, a résumé le leader indien avant l'ouverture du sommet de l'IA à Paris, que son pays copréside.« Lancer son entreprise dans l'IA en Inde apporte autant d'embûches que de savoir-faire. Il y a tellement de langues, d'émotions et de cultures différentes à comprendre », confie Ravi Saraogi, fondateur d'Uniphore, une start-up indienne de deep tech, fondée en 2007, aujourd'hui forte de 900 employés à travers le monde.Uniphore est née au sein de l'Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) de Madras, l'un des centres d'excellence technologique les plus réputés d'Inde. « Lorsque l'Inde développe une technologie, elle la développe pour un pays si divers qu'à l'arrivée, vous avez un produit qui couvre différents besoins dans le monde entier. Couplé à son vivier de talents, cela en fait un écosystème unique », insiste Ravi Saraogi.Les ambitions du gouvernement indien pour l'IAPour placer l'Inde parmi les leaders mondiaux de l'IA, le gouvernement a lancé une initiative dotée d'un milliard d'euros et acquis des puces de l'entreprise Nvidia. Ce volontarisme, cependant, reste modeste comparé aux 500 milliards de dollars investis par l'administration Trump. Si les opportunités sont bien réelles pour l'Inde, les financements demeurent insuffisants pour lui permettre de se libérer des modèles d'intelligence artificielle développés ailleurs dans le monde.À lire aussiAu Sommet de l'IA à New Delhi, 29 pays s'accordent pour démocratiser et réguler son développement

This year, Swami Vivekananda's birthday happened to fall on a Monday, a day sacred to Shiva which also happened to MLK day here in the United States! Of course the two figures, Swami Vivekananda and MLK are both quite similar in a few ways. In his talk on loving your enemies, MLK is famous for having said “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” In exactly the same vein, Swami Vivekananda tells us how we can go about creating actually change in the world along spiritually enlightened lines in his masterpiece address "My Plan of Campaign" delivered in Madras upon his return to India after his triumphant sojourn in the West. In this video, we read out the transcript for this mighty and earth-shattering talk (which is full of Swami Vivekananda calling out those forces which have opposed his mission) and make a few comments here and there. This is the third in a series of three back to back lectures we gave on behalf of Swami Vivekananda Jayanti this year, the two other being Realizing Non-Duality Through Music | Adi Shankara's Nirvana Shatakam and How Do Tantrik Rituals Work? which explore Swami Vivekananda's core teachings on Advaita and the Innate Divinity of the Soul respectively. Jai Swamiji! For more detailed instructions for how to perform Kālī pūjā, watch this playlist: https://www.patreon.com/collection/233799Lectures happen live every Monday at 7pm PST and Friday 10am PST and again Friday at 6pm PST.Use this link and I will see you there:https://www.zoom.us/j/7028380815For more videos, guided meditations and instruction and for access to our lecture library, visit me at:https://www.patreon.com/yogawithnishTo get in on the discussion and access various spiritual materials, join our Discord here: https://discord.gg/U8zKP8yMrMSupport the show

On the 25th of November 2024, just five days before the placement drive began at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, a new role was suddenly added to the student's placement portal. Tech giant Microsoft was looking for a bunch of promising silicon hardware engineers. This was the first time Microsoft was hiring for this particular role. And it wasn't just looking at the top tier IITs like IIT Madras. Students at IIT-ISM Dhanbad in Jharkhand, saw the same exact thing happen. Why, you may ask? One word. Nvidia. Until now, companies like Microsoft, Amazon and Google have been the most direct beneficiaries of the AI revolution. But the Nvidia monopoly in the AI chip market is preventing these tech companies from making as much money as possible. Microsoft wants to change that. That's exactly where a team of freshly minted hardware engineers comes in. The company is hiring graduates who know hardware programming to test and design its own chips. Tune in. Tell us what you thought of this episode.

Sir Thomas Munro (1761–1827) was a distinguished British administrator and soldier who played a pivotal role in shaping British governance in India. Born in Scotland, he joined the British East India Company in 1779 and quickly gained recognition for his military and administrative skills. Munro participated in key conflicts, including the Third Anglo-Mysore War, where he proved instrumental in securing British victories against Tipu Sultan. He is best remembered for his tenure as the Governor of Madras Presidency (1820–1827), during which he implemented significant reforms. Munro pioneered the Ryotwari system, a land revenue system that dealt directly with individual farmers, bypassing middlemen and ensuring a more equitable taxation process. His approach was rooted in his deep understanding of Indian society, which he studied extensively. A firm believer in justice and fair treatment, Munro was known for his empathetic administration and efforts to improve the lives of the people under his governance. He was knighted in 1825 for his services. Tragically, he succumbed to cholera in 1827 while touring the northern districts of Madras. Munro's legacy endures as a symbol of effective governance and reform in colonial India, and his statue still stands in Chennai as a testament to his contributions. KiranPrabha narrates most interesting parts of Thomas Munro's life in this episode.

In Melbourne you might have picked up a book or a comic from a Jesus Christian outside Flinders Street Station, or you could have seen their religious graffiti messages along Sydney's railway lines. But while they portray themselves as an altruistic Christian community living life by faith and rejecting the money motivation of work, former members have been shunned and demonised, and parents tell heartbreaking stories of losing their relationship with their child after they have joined the Jesus Christians.Full research sources listed here.

The media coverage of the Jesus Christians tends to outweigh their size. Most people who have heard of them recognise the name ‘The Kidney Cult', derived from an initiative where numerous members have donated one of their kidneys to a stranger. What may be surprising is that the person who first suggested that name was the Jesus Christians' founder himself, Dave Mckay.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 25 December.

"Your hands have a lot more work to do" "Every time Baba has talked to me or blessed me, I have grown without knowledge. All these moments have deeply touched my heart and helped me in culturing my conscience," reflects Justice Shivaraj V Patil, who had his first darshan of Bhagawan in 1986. He was a lawyer then. From there, his elevation to become the Acting Chief Justice of High Court of Madras, later the Chief Justice of High Court of Rajasthan, and eventually being appointed as a Judge of the Supreme Court of India in 2000 - every step of his journey has Swami's signature on it.  In this conversation he not only recounts those powerful moments with Bhagawan but also shares inspiring anecdotes from his childhood and upbringing, and most importantly the convictions he strongly believes in, which he feels is the reason why the divine showered such boundless grace on him. His autobiography "Time Spent Distance Travelled" is indeed a must read for anyone who wants to lead a conscientious life and be a role model in society.

Provincial Democracy: Political Imaginaries at the End of Empire in Twentieth-century South India (Cambridge UP, 2023) delves into the period between the decline of empire and the rise of the Indian nation-state in the context of seismic global transformations of the early twentieth century-namely the two World Wars and the crisis of the imperial order. Rama Sundari Mantena argues this period is defined by not only the dominance of the nation state and debates over a new global order, but also mass participation in defining and negotiating the form and substance of democratic political futures. Mantena recovers this debate by reconstructing the emerging vocabularies of liberalism, political rights, and self-government in colonial South India, especially in the princely domain of Hyderabad and among Andhra speakers in British India's Madras province. Provincial Democracy shifts the focus from the dominant narrative of linguistic nationalism as defining regionalism to debates over questions of representation, rights, political reforms, and federalism. Thus, it uncovers a broad perspective on political imaginaries that anticipated democracy in independent India. Rama Mantena is Associate Professor of History at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her first book The Origins of Modern Historiography in India (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2012) explored everyday practices surrounding acts of collecting, surveying, and antiquarianism in the early period of British colonial rule in India. Anindita Ghosh is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Illinois Chicago. Her dissertation is about the histories of absorption of the eastern native states of South Asia into the nations and their socio-political afterlives in the post-colonial nations. Vatsal Naresh is a Lecturer in Social Studies at Harvard University. His recent publications include co-edited volumes on Negotiating Democracy and Religious Pluralism (OUP 2021) and Constituent Assemblies (CUP 2018). Learn more about your ad choices.
