Tradition of Jaffna

Here I have shared some photographs, which are reflecting the tradition of the Jaffna Peninsula. Jaffna located north part of Ceylon. 

History of Quantity Surveyor

Prior to the Napoleonic Wars, Britain, in common with its conti nental neighbours, had a construction industry based on separate trades.
This system still exists in France as ‘lots sépare’, and variations of it can be found throughout Europe, including in Germany. The system works like this: instead of the multi-traded main contractor that operates in the UK, each trade is tendered for, and subsequently engaged separately under, the coordination of a project manager.

The Napoleonic Wars, however, brought change and nowhere more so than in Britain – the only large European state that Napoleon failed to invade or occupy. The government of the day was obliged to construct barracks to house the huge garrisons of soldiers who were then being transported across the English Channel. As the need for the army barracks was so urgent and the time to prepare drawings, specifi cations, etc. was so short, the contracts were let on a ‘settlement by fair valuation based on measurement after completion of the works’. This meant that constructors were given the opportunity and encouragement to innovate and to problem solve – something that was progres sively withdrawn from them in the years that followed.

The same need for haste, coupled with the sheer magnitude of the individ ual projects, led to many contracts being let to a single builder or group of tradesmen ‘contracting in gross’, and the general contractor was born. When peace was made the Offi ce of Works and Public Buildings, which had been increasingly concerned with the high cost of measurement and fair value procurement – in particular, in the construction of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle – decided that enough was enough. In 1828 separate trades contracting was discontinued for public works in England in favour of contracting in gross.

The following years saw contracting in gross (general contracting) rise to dominate, and with this development the role of the builder as an innovator, problem-solver and design team member was stifl ed to the point where contractors operating in the UK system were reduced to simple executors of the works and instructions (although in Scotland the separate trades system survived until the early 1970s).

Then in 1834 archi tects decided that they wished to divorce them selves from surveyors and establish the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA), exclusively for architects. The grounds for this great schism were that architects wished to distance themselves from surveyors and their perceived ‘obnoxious commercial interest in construction’. The events of 1834 were also responsible for the birth of another UK phenomenon, the quantity surveyor.

Drawing room

A drawing room is a room in a house where visitors may be entertained. The name is derived from the sixteenth-century terms "withdrawing room" and "withdrawing chamber", which remained in use through the seventeenth century, and made its first written appearance in 1642 (OED). In a large sixteenth- to early eighteenth-century English house, a withdrawing room was a room to which the owner of the house, his wife, or a distinguished guest who was occupying one of the main apartments in the house could "withdraw" for more privacy. It was often off the great chamber (or the great chamber's descendant, the state room or salon) and usually led to a formal or "state" bedroom.

History and development In eighteenth-century London, the royal morning receptions that the French called levées were called "drawing rooms", with the sense originally that the privileged members of court would gather in the drawing room outside the king's bedroom, where he would make his first formal public appearance of the day.

 During the American Civil War, in the White House of the Confederacy in Richmond, Virginia, the drawing room was just off the parlor where C.S.A. President Jefferson Davis greeted his guests. At the conclusion of these greetings, the men remained in the parlor to talk politics and the women withdrew to the drawing room for their own conversation. This was common practice in the affluent circles of the Southern United States.

 An Indian drawing room

Until the mid-twentieth century, after a dinner the ladies of a dinner party withdrew to the drawing room, leaving the gentlemen at table, where the cloth was removed. After an interval of conversation, the gentlemen rejoined the ladies in the drawing room.

 The term drawing room is not used as widely as it once was, and tends to be used in Britain only by those who also have other reception rooms, such as a morning room, a nineteenth-century designation for a sitting-room, often with east-facing exposure, suited for daytime calls, or the middle-class lounge, a late nineteenth-century designation for a room in which to relax; hence the drawing room is the smartest room in the house, usually used by the adults of the family when entertaining. This term is still widely used in India and Pakistan, probably since the colonial days, in the larger urban houses of the cities where there are many rooms.

The term parlour initially designated the more modest reception rooms of the middle classes, but usage changed in the UK as homeowners sought to identify with the grander homes of the wealthy. Parlor remained the common usage in North America into the 20th century. In French usage the word salon, previously designating a state room, began to be used for a drawing room in the early part of the 19th century, reflecting the salon social gatherings that had become popular in the preceding decades.

The Origin of Bill of Quantities

Bill of Quantities is synonymous with Quantity Surveyors. The profession was said to have emerged in England at the beginning of the nineteenth century, although the firm of Henry Cooper and Sons of Reading was established as early as 1785. Prior to the first recorded usage of the term "Quantity Surveyor" in 1859, the terms "measurer", "custom surveyor" or "surveyor" were used.(ASAQS, 2006)

BOQ emerged in the 19^th century after the Industrial revolution in Europe. In those early days the Quantity Surveyors acted for the master tradesmen, measuring the work after completion for use in making payment to workers and frequently submitted as partisan Final Accounts to the building owner to claim for payment. Later on it was the practice of the building owners to call for tenders before any work was undertaken. A procedure was then developed to invite several master builders to submit tenders for the total price of the project rather than a collection of prices from master tradesmen or what is known today as sub-contractors. (ASAQS, 2006).

For the purpose of submitting the bid or tender, each builder then has to come out with accurate estimates of the project cost or tender. It was done by measuring and quantifying the quantities of all materials and labour necessary to complete the work, i.e. preparing a bill BOQ for the project. As each builder had to prepare his own BOQ for each project, they came to realise that they were duplicating a lot of effort by each measuring the same quantities from the architect's drawings. They realised that it is more economical for them as a group to employ one surveyor to measure the work and prepare the BOQ for them.

The builders will then price the BOQ and submit their tenders on the same basis. They would share the cost of the Quantity Surveyor (or the successful builder will pay the surveyor) and include the payment in their bids. On the part of the building owners themselves, since they ended up paying for the Quantity Surveyor's fees, it finally dawned on them that they might as well employ him directly and get some cost advice from him as well. (ASAQS, 2006; Myles, 2006, CIQS 2006).

Apart from some minor changes in term of method of measurement, content and format of presentation, BOQ is still a document detailing description and quantities of all the construction work of a project. It may now may come in elemental, trade, work section or operational form. With the advent of ICT, the process of preparing s has evolved from the tedious manual and time consuming processes to semi-automated or fully automated processes involving the use of computers and sophisticated specialised software. But the whole process is still involving the toiling over many hundred drawings

in doing the time consuming “taking off”, many hours of meetings and discussion with the client and other consultants and drafting, checking, editing and printing the 300 – 500 pages document.

World's Billionaires 2010-Part -I

Carlos Slim Helu takes No. 1 spot on Forbes World's Billionaires list as a record 164 10-figure titans return to the ranking amid the global economic recovery.

For the third time in three years, the world has a new richest man.

Riding surging prices of his various telecom holdings, including giant mobile outfit America Movil (AMX), Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim Helu has beaten out Americans Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to become the wealthiest person on earth and nab the top spot on the 2010 Forbes list of the World's Billionaires.

Slim's fortune has swelled to an estimated $53.5 billion, up $18.5 billion in 12 months. Shares of America Movil, of which Slim owns a $23 billion stake, were up 35% in a year.

That massive hoard of scratch puts him ahead of Microsoft (MSFT) cofounder Bill Gates, who had held the title of world's richest 14 of the past 15 years.

Gates, now worth $53 billion, is ranked second in the world. He is up $13 billion from a year ago as shares of Microsoft rose 50% in 12 months. Gates' holdings in his personal investment vehicle Cascade (CAE) also soared with the rest of the markets.

Buffett's fortune jumped $10 billion to $47 billion on rising shares of Berkshire Hathaway (BRK). He ranks third.

The Oracle of Omaha shrewdly invested $5 billion in Goldman Sachs (GS) and $3 billion in General Electric (GE) amid the 2008 market collapse. He also recently acquired railroad giant Burlington Northern Santa Fe (BNI) for $26 billion.

In his annual shareholder letter Buffett wrote, "We've put a lot of money to work during the chaos of the last two years. When it's raining gold, reach for a bucket, not a thimble.

"Many plutocrats did just that. Indeed, last year's wealth wasteland has become a billionaire bonanza. Most of the richest people on the planet have seen their fortunes soar in the past year.

This year the World's Billionaires have an average net worth of $3.5 billion, up $500 million in 12 months. The world has 1,011 10-figure titans, up from 793 a year ago but still shy of the record 1,125 in 2008. Of those billionaires on last year's list, only 12% saw their fortunes decline.
U.S. billionaires still dominate the ranks — but their grip is slipping. Americans account for 40% of the world's billionaires, down from 45% a year ago.

The U.S. commands 38% of the collective $3.6 trillion net worth of the world's richest, down from 44% a year ago.

Of the 97 new members of the list, only 16% are from the U.S. By contrast, Asia made big gains. The region added 104 moguls and now has just 14 fewer than Europe, thanksto several large public offerings and swelling stock markets.

The new billionaires include American Isaac Perlmutter, who flipped Marvel Entertainment (MVL) to Disney (DIS) for $4 billion last December. The Spider-Man mogul netted nearly $900 million in cash and 20 million shares of Disney in the transaction.

Also new to the ranking: 27 billionaires from China, including Li Shufu, whose automaker, Geely, announced plans to buy Swedish brand Volvo from Ford in December. The deal is expected to close in March 2010.

Finland and Pakistan both welcomed their first billionaires.
For the first time China (including Hong Kong) has the most billionaires outside the U.S. with 89.
Russia has 62 billionaires, 28 of them returnees who had fallen off last year's list amid a meltdown in commodities. Total returnees to the list this year: 164.

Eleven countries have at least double the number of billionaires they had a year ago, including China, India, Turkey and South Korea.

Thirty members of last year's list fell out of the billionaire's club. Moguls who couldn't make the cut: Iceland's Thor Bjorgolfsson, Russia's Boris Berezovsky and Saudi Arabia's Maan Al-Sanea.

Another 13 members of last year's list died. Among the deceased: real estate developer Melvin Simon and glass tycoon William Davidson.

MGR - The legend lives on

It may be 33 years since his last film was released and 23 years since he died. But the legacy of the legend called MGR lives on and doesn’t seem to end in the near future. The magic spell of MGR can be clearly seen even today from the number of re-runs of his old movies and the people who throng his memorial in Marina beach every year in the months of December and January.

It won’t be a contested if one says MGR is the only actor in the world who has more devotees than mere fans.

If you follow the ascent of MGR from his early days to later eminence you will be surprised to know that in the early stages MGR was never expected to become an icon as he is revered today. MGR’s first film Sathileelavthi was released in 1936. MGR played a very minor role of a police officer. When that film was released only one person on earth would have dreamt of MGR’s beatific status after 50 years. That would have been only MGR himself. He continued to do minor roles in films like Ashokkumar with MK Thiyagaraja Bhagavathar and Meera with MS Subbulakshmi waiting for the big time.

After his fist film in 1936 his big break came only in 1947. Rajakumari directed by ASA Samy was the first film in which MGR played the main role. That is 10 long years after his first film. Even after Rajakumari doing very well at the box office MGR’s life did not change overnight as it changes for the film heroes of today. Even after giving a super hit MGR still continued to do secondary roles in films like Abhimanyu, Paithiyakaran, Rajamukthi and Rathnakumar. Success was playing a truant with MGR although he had good films like Marutha Naatu Iavarasi, Manthirikumari and Marmayogi during this period. He even did a movie Panakkari in which he was an anti-hero – hard to believe for many. He even showcased his histrionic skills and acting prowess in films like En Thangai, Naam and Andhman Kaidi. If the present generation watches these films they will be in admiration and amazed to know how an actor of dramatic talents is remembered only as a mass action hero today.

MGR’s winning formula is still not fully understood by anybody. And that is one of his achievements. He actually shattered all the myths woven around him by both his fans and critics. The way people look at MGR is a classic modern day example of the old adage of how blind men felt an elephant.

MGR’s meteoric rise should also be attributed to his acumen for carefully identifying the best for him.
Best lyricists, best playback singers, best co-stars and MGR had the best for him. He even came down his pedestal to pick up the best for him. If he had a problem with TMS or MSV he will strike a compromise in a way he doesn’t lose their talent. Same is with Kannadasan. But at the end of the day it is his self confidence which will rule. He had many super hits without the proven combination of MSV-TMS-Kannadasan. Films like Idhayaveenai was very success full with Shankar Ganesh. Padahoti was seen and heard for its songs by Vaali. Songs in films like Ooruku Uzhaippavan and Nalai Namadhe were chart busters well ahead of TMS songs from other films.

In Urimaikural, KJ Yesudas sung ‘Vizhiye Katha Yezhthu’ was a bigger hit than the TMS numbers. In films like Netru Intru Naalai SP Balasubramaniam left TMS a distant second with songs like ‘Paadum pothu naan Thentral katru’. So ultimately people decided by what MGR did on screen.

No hero ever had the golden run of MGR in Tamil cinema. He is the only one who hasnot seen a downward trend in Tamil film industry. He had a role wittingly or unwittingly in every change Tamil cinema faced in the last fifty years. In fact it may not be too much to say Sivaji Ganesan started losing his revered place after 1977 only because he did not have the company of MGR. Even the new breed of superstars like Kamal and RAjini emerged only when MGR voluntarily ended his direct role in film making. When Sivaji and MGR were in full flow actors like Jaishankar, Ravichandran came but they could not become a Rajni or Kamal. Such is the sway of MGR over the masses.

Even today his popularity has not waned a bit. Look at the craze for using the symbols of MGR and his films by the GenX actors of today. His film titles are one the most sought after things by the film industry. Nadodi Mannan, Namnadu, Anbe Vaa, Puthimaipithan, Rahasia Police, Raman Thediya Seethai, Netru Intru Naalai, Vettaikaran, some of the MGR titles used so far. But if you notice carefully you will find a common thread among all these films. None of these films were successful at the box office. Ayirathil Oruvan has just released. This goes on to prove the merely choosing a MGR title will not guarantee success and you must be inspired by the wholesome entertainment values of MGR films. Also the maximum numbers of songs which are remixed today are from MGR films. Not just remixes. Listen to the SJ Surya song ‘Netru Intru Naalai’ in the film ‘New’. It sums the popularity of MGR even today in films.

One assessor had said MGR had the movie magic of John Wayne, the political success of Ronald Reagan and the messiah appeal of Martin Luther King Jr. But to the Tamil people across the globe MGR may stand one step above these greats for what he has done to them both on screen and off screen

The legend will live on an on and on.

உன் மூளையில் அமர்ந்து ஒளிரத்

தொடங்கியது இந்த பயணத்தில் தான்.

முன்னூறு வைத்து ஏழாயிறம்

கழித்தாய் கணிதத்தில் அல்ல

உன் கொரில்லா போர் சரிதத்தில்.

கற்பனை அவதாரங்களில் இல்லை

என்றும் நம்பிக்கை எனக்கு

உன்னுடைய அவதாரங்களைத் தவிர்த்து

எத்தனை கண்டாய் நீ தோள் கொடுக்கும்

தோழனாய்

நோயை விரட்டும் மருத்துவனாய்

போரிலே களப் போராளியாய்

தொழில் திட்டங்கள் தீட்டும்

தொழிலமைச்சனாய்

பொருளாதார திட்டங்களிடும் நிதி

அமைச்சனாய்

மீண்டும் களப் போராளியாய்

அது ஒரு தொடர் கதை...

மூச்சுக் குழல் நோயும் முட்டிப்

பார்த்து முடியாமல் பின்

மூச்சு வாங்க ஓடியது .

எல்லை என்றுமே உனக்கு தொல்லை

எல்லைகளற்ற ஏகாதிபத்தியமற்ற

கனவு உலகம் தான் உன் இலட்சியம்.

புரட்சி வரலாற்றில் முற்றுப் புள்ளி

அல்ல நீ

என்றுமே புரட்சியை தொடரும்

தொடர் புள்ளி தான் நீ...

நன்றி ப.ல.வெங்கடேசன்
