Universal's Furious 7 took in $17.82 million this weekend to lead the weekend box office for a fourth consecutive frame. In doing so, Furious 7 became the first film to lead the box office for four consecutive weekends since The Hunger Games did so back in 2012. The seventh installment of the blockbuster franchise featuring Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and the late Paul Walker was down 39 percent from last weekend. Furious 7 was aided a bit this weekend by moviegoers who wanted to catch the film before Disney's highly anticipated Avengers: Age of Ultron debuts in theatres this coming Friday. Furious 7 has grossed a massive $320.08 million in 24 days. That places the film a very impressive 46 percent ahead of the $219.72 million 24-day take of 2013's Fast & Furious 6.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 held steady in a not-so-distant second place with $14.78 million. Sony's modestly budgeted Kevin James led comedy sequel fell 38 percent from last weekend's debut. Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 has grossed a solid $43.22 million through ten days of release. The film continues to run in line with pre-release expectations and is running 2 percent ahead of the $42.38 million ten-day start of 2011's Zookeeper (which fell 38.5 percent in its second weekend to gross $12.33 million). Despite very poor critical reviews, Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 will hope to hold up well going forward due in part to facing a relatively limited amount of new competition for family audiences.
Lionsgate's The Age of Adaline debuted in third place this weekend with $13.20 million. The romantic drama starring Blake Lively opened on the high end of expectations. The Age of Adaline opened just ahead of the $13.02 million start of Fox's The Longest Ride earlier this month. That was an impressive feat given that The Age of Adaline wasn't adapted from a pre-existing novel. The Age of Adaline took in $4.96 million on Friday (which included an estimated $575,000 from Thursday evening shows), increased 8.5 percent on Saturday to gross $5.39 million and declined 47 percent on Sunday to gross $2.86 million. That placed the film's opening weekend to Friday ratio at 2.66 to 1. The Age of Adaline received an encouraging A- rating on CinemaScore.
Home grossed $8.01 million to remain in fourth place this weekend. The successful 3D computer animated film from Fox and DreamWorks Animation was down a slim 25 percent from last weekend. Home continues to exceed expectations in a big way with a 31-day take of $153.49 million. That places the film just behind the $154.63 million 31-day take of 2013's The Croods.
Universal's Unfriended rounded out the weekend's top five with $6.16 million. The ultra low-budget horror film from Blumhouse Productions was down two spots and a sharp 61 percent from last weekend. Unfriended has grossed $25.08 million in ten days. While Unfriended isn't quite living up to its break-out potential, it is still performing well with its cost in mind. Unfriended is running 28 percent behind the $34.80 million ten-day take of last year's Ouija (which fell 46 percent in its second weekend to gross $10.74 million).
A24's Ex Machina expanded very nicely in its first weekend of semi-wide release with a sixth place take of $5.35 million. The critically acclaimed Alex Garland directed sci-fi film generated a solid per-location average of $4,263 while playing in 1,255 locations this weekend. Ex Machina delivered the largest weekend performance ever for an A24 release in its first weekend of major release. The young distributor's previous high-water mark was the $4.86 million take of 2013's Spring Breakers in its first weekend of semi-wide release. Ex Machina has grossed a promising $6.83 million in 17 days. A24 will continue to expand the film into additional locations going forward.
Elsewhere in semi-wide release, Little Boy debuted all the way down in 13th place with $2.75 million. The modestly budgeted comedy drama from Open Road earned a respectable per-location average of $2,632 from 1,045 locations. Little Boy was especially front-loaded this weekend; the film opened with $1.36 million on Friday, decreased an alarming 41 percent on Saturday to gross $0.80 million and fell 26 percent on Sunday to gross $0.59 million. That gave the film an opening weekend to Friday ratio of just 2.03 to 1, which isn't a good early sign for the film going forward.

Malvinder Mohan 'Malav' Singh, when he owned and ran Ranbaxy Laboratories (the Singh family sold the pharmaceutical company to Daiichi Sankyo of Japan in 2008; Malav exited the company a year later), would often say with pride the company had done the maximum overseas acquisitions in the country, after the Tata group.
In the past decade, Ranbaxy did acquisitions in the United States and in well-developed markets of Europe, like France and Germany. It also went to China and Japan in the east. The acquisition reached a high in 2006 when Ranbaxy bought Ethimed NV in Belgium, Terapia in Romania, the unbranded generic business of GlaxoSmithKline, or GSK, in Italy, the Mundogen generic business of GSK in Spain and Be-Tabs Pharmaceuticals in South Africa. The big one was Terapia, Romania's largest independent generics drug company, for which Ranbaxy paid $324 million.
Ranbaxy realised in the late 1990s that the Indian market had become very crowded and, consequently, profit margins had become wafer thin. One option was to go to unregulated markets (which didn't accept patents), but the business climate there was uncertain and fraught with patent infringements.
So, it decided to focus on developed markets. These markets, with high per-capita income, were struggling to bring down the cost of health care. Generic medicine was the way forward, also the chosen space for Ranbaxy.

Hence, the dozen or so acquisitions in double-quick time. These acquisitions gave Ranbaxy manufacturing capabilities in those countries, sales force and some market share. The foray in China was to leverage the low-cost manufacturing there.
Cut to the present. Ranbaxy has exited various non-profitable geographies.
For instance, it sold its 83 per cent stake in its Chinese subsidiary, Ranbaxy Guangzhou China, in 2010. It has pulled out of its Japanese venture, Nihon Pharmaceutical Industry, and has sold its Vietnam business. "There is a clear shift from the way we chased acquisitions in the past versus the way we would be looking at acquisitions in the future," says CEO & Managing Director Arun Sawhney.
According to Sawhney, the present-day Ranbaxy is not shy of doing acquisitions but it does not intend to do so merely to expand its global footprint.
"We will not be very passionate about acquisitions to increase top lines or be present in more and more geographies, which was actually the case in the past," he explains.
Instead, Ranbaxy now intends to do acquisitions in areas that will compliment either its existing business or will fit into its future diversification plans.

"We will keep looking for acquisitions...if it makes sense with the business strategy that we have outlined for ourselves, we will definitely look at it," Sawhney emphasises.
A glimpse of the change can perhaps be seen in the kind of partnership and deals signed by Ranbaxy during the past four years, ever since it was acquired by Daiichi Sankyo.
Among the very few acquisitions and partnerships signed by the company during these years, the significant ones include its acquisition of trademarks, product dossiers and marketing rights of Ochoa Laboratories's entire range of dermatological and lifestyle products in May 2009 (Malav was still running the company at that time).
The next acquisition by Ranbaxy was in 2010 when it made its foray into the vaccine segment by acquiring the product rights and a manufacturing facility of Biovel, located in Bangalore.
Apart from these, the company, since 2008, has mostly entered into licensing agreements with various companies, which has given it access to new products in several markets, complementing its already existing product portfolio as well as utilisation of its wide marketing network across the globe.
For instance, in July 2011, Ranbaxy entered into an in-licensing agreement with Gilead Sciences for three new anti-retroviral drugs which were in late-stage clinical development.

Through the pact, Ranbaxy secured the rights to produce and sell generic versions of these drugs in India and other developing nations, once it got the required approvals. More recently, this November the company entered into a similar agreement with Ontario-based Cipher Pharmaceuticals Inc, which enables Ranbaxy to launch a dermatology product, Absorica (isotretinoin), under its own brand, in the US.
This has helped the company to not only relaunch one of its old and best-selling products, Sotret (isotretinoin), in the world's largest drug market but also added to its plans of branded franchisee in the dermatology segment. Earlier, in March 2010, the company had collaborated with Pfenex Inc to develop a biosimilar therapeutic. Biosimilars is an area Ranbaxy intends to explore, going forward.
In some way, the change in focus has come with the change in ownership. Ranbaxy's old business model was built around the generics business in the US. It was always on the lookout for patents that were ready to expire, or patents that could be challenged in the courts, so that it could launch generic equivalents ahead of others.
In the US, the first generic gets six months of exclusive marketing rights. This often pitted Ranbaxy against large pharmaceutical companies, especially those which owned and sold patented medicine.

Now that Ranbaxy is a part of such a company, it is only natural for it to go slow on patent challenges. Also, most of the opportunities in this space have already been taken. There isn't much scope left in the first-to-file business model. Sawhney says Ranbaxy still has some such challenges, but refuses to give details.
Under Daiichi Sankyo, Ranbaxy has moved to resolve its issues with the US Food & Drug Administration. After negotiating for over two years, Ranbaxy signed a consent decree with the regulatory authorities in December last year, putting an end to the long-running tussle.
The consent decree is a voluntary, final and binding settlement which will include a series of measures Ranbaxy would undertake in return for being allowed to resume sale of drugs in the US from its blacklisted facilities in India (Dewas in Madhya Pradesh, and Paonta Sahib and Batamandi in Himachal Pradesh).
The company has also set aside $500 million for a possible penalty that might be required to be paid to settle issues with the US Department of Justice. During May this year, Ranbaxy hired two US-based consultants, as part of the consent decree, to advise it on remedial work to be done at its manufacturing units in India.
It is expecting a consultant assessment report for its Dewas facility in December, which will set the stage for a revocation of ban on products manufactured from the unit. However, corrective measures at Paonta Sahib are expected to take longer.

"The current business strategy of Ranbaxy may not look as aggressive as that during the promoters' times but, it is certainly more sensible. If you look at the agreements they have signed in the past few years, it is mostly in line with their vision and planning. They have outlined specific areas and markets where they want to grow," says a pharma consultant.
According to Sawhney, the change is not merely because of the change of owners but also because the overall matrix has undergone a transformation. "There were acquisitions, not only by Ranbaxy, but throughout by the Indian pharmaceutical industry and some of them have not worked out for many of the companies," he says.
"We have to be very contemporary in our thinking. If the markets offered a certain opportunity in the past, they don't offer us that opportunity in the current context," he adds.
While many feel a lot of the acquisitions done during the promoters' regime were in haste and did not pay in the long run, analysts opine that though the change during past few years has certainly made the books of the company look better.
"The promoters were merely buying a bunch of businesses and many of them have not delivered the way they expected. Though the material pick-up may not have happened in past few years, profitability of the company is certainly better," says Nitin Agarwal of IDFC Securities.
However, Agarwal adds the company has much more potential and is yet to realise the same.

Newton: Off and running in the L.A. mayor's race
A new poll on the Los Angeles mayor's race confirms the conventional wisdom: Most voters have yet to make up their minds, but among those who have decided, City Councilman Eric Garcetti and Controller Wendy Greuel remain locked in a close match with a hefty lead over their nearest rivals.
But the survey also offers some intriguing insights into the advantages and vulnerabilities of the leading candidates, as well as hints about the way the campaign may play out.
The poll, conducted by the Center for the Study of Los Angeles at Loyola Marymount University, surveyed 4,411 voters on election day as they emerged from voting booths across the city. The survey found that if the voters who have made up their minds were casting ballots in the mayor's race today, a plurality — 36.1% — would opt for Garcetti, nudging out Greuel, who received the support of 32.3%.
Still, with roughly two-thirds of those interviewed acknowledging that they have yet to make up their minds, and with four months to go before the first round of the elections, that's a very close race — understandable, given that Garcetti and Greuel are both affable, intelligent Democrats with moderate to liberal records and not many obvious points of disagreement.
"The race is wide open," said Fernando Guerra, director of the center, which will release full results of the poll today. "These are two candidates who are very similar … their personalities, how they appear to voters."
The results reveal a big gap between the two front-runners and others in the race. Councilwoman Jan Perry was the favorite of only 15.1% of those expressing an opinion. Lawyer and radio personality Kevin James drew just 8.7%. In James' case, however, the survey does suggest that he is making modest progress, and the recent announcement that a prominent conservative fundraiser is poised to spend heavily for him — James is the only Republican in the race — gives him a possible path forward.
Garcetti's lead at this early stage is certainly not commanding, but buried in the demographic analyses are some numbers that make his edge seem stronger than the overall result. His support is surprisingly broad-based, an asset in multicultural Los Angeles. According to the survey, he holds a big lead among Latinos — Garcetti comes from a Mexican American family — and an even bigger one among Asians. He and Greuel were virtually tied among African Americans (51% of whom favored Perry, the only African American in the race), and Greuel was ahead by 5 points among whites. Garcetti also was favored by voters of every level of education, by union members and by Democrats. In Los Angeles, that's the makings of a winning coalition.
But the poll contains yet another wrinkle. Although Garcetti was favored by a slim margin in the larger field, the advantage shifted in the event of a hypothetical runoff between him and Greuel. There, Greuel was favored by 50.6% to Garcetti's 49.4%, a lead that falls within the survey's 2.89% margin of error.
What accounted for the bump in Greuel's favor? Once voters were denied the chance to favor Perry, some women and blacks jumped to Greuel's camp. James' more conservative backers also gravitated to Greuel, who does better among Republicans than Garcetti. In such a close race, those small shifts matter.
Polls are sensitive instruments, and open to misinterpretation. The recent presidential campaign, for instance, featured an avalanche of poll-watchers on the right who argued for months that polling had overstated President Obama's chances of being reelected because the surveys over-predicted the influence of black and young voters. Those harangues proved to be false, though they seem to have misled Mitt Romney into believing he might prevail.
In this case, the risk is not real or imagined ideological bias — the Loyola survey is steadfastly nonpartisan and not connected to any candidate — but rather one of timing. The presidential election consumes so much voter and media attention that it's hard for any mayoral candidate to make an impression until the presidency is decided. Because this survey was conducted on election day, it's best thought of as a preliminary look at the mayor's race, not a predictive one.
Still, it suggests where the campaign may be headed. Garcetti and Greuel need to distinguish themselves from each other in the minds of voters or risk dividing their natural support. Perry needs to convince potential donors and voters that she's a credible candidate and not just a spoiler. James needs to hope that a pile of conservative money elevates his profile without alienating the city's decidedly Democratic majority.
Winning won't be easy for any of them, but it's not impossible for any of them either. And the race begins now.

Swimming and Diving Splits With W&M on Senior Day; ODU Sets Four Pool Records
By ODU Athletics
Jan. 26, 2013
NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion and William and Mary's men's and women's swimming and diving teams both went down to the final relay race before the winner could be established. ODU's men defeated William and Mary 153-141. The Lady Monarchs lost in heartbreaking fashion, 144-140. In all, Old Dominion's swimmers set four pool records today.
Saturday's meet marked the last home competition for eight of Old Dominion's swimmers: Bernardo Figueredo have been very solid for the Monarchs all season, and today was no different. Sa had a pair of second place finishes in the 100-yard freestyle (46.37) and the 200-yard freestyle (1:42.69). Figueredo placed second in the 100-yard freestyle (9:39.23) and finished third in the 500-yard freestyle (4:46.16).
In that 500-yard freestyle race, Hector Tricas Vidal finished in 4:44.47 and just ahead of Figueredo, which earned him a second place finish. Tricas Vidal also had a third place finish in the 1000-yard freestyle (9:39.28).
Jason Haigh placed second in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:07.62).
Carter Watson finished in second place in the 200-yard IM (1:54.62).
Edward Hubert took third in the 100-yard breaststroke with a time of 58.12.
Danny Rabe finished in first place in the 1-meter diving competition with a final score of 226.27.
Mitchell Ortiz won the 3-meter event (271.43).
Lady Monarchs: 140 William and Mary: 144
All five of the Lady Monarch's seniors played a major role in nearly lifting ODU past William and Mary.
As usual, Kimberley Rashleigh came up big for the Lady Monarchs on Saturday. The Australian-native won three races: the 100-yard backstroke (57.11), 200-yard backstroke (2:01.85) and the 200-yard IM (2:07.00). Rashleigh's time of 2:01.85 set a new pool record for the 200-yard backstroke.
Rashleigh also anchored a team consisting of Savannah Bowers, Ashley Luchsinger and Morgan Johnson to a second place finish in the 400-yard freestyle relay (3:34.05). Luchsinger closed out a terrific career at home with two additional second place finishes in the 100-yard butterfly (58.24) and the 200-yard butterfly (2:06.94).
Jessica Hubert had a spectacular senior day in the water for the Lady Monarchs. Hubert won the 100-yard butterfly (56.85) and the 200-yard butterfly (2:02.25). Hubert's 2:02.25 finishing-time in the 200-yard butterfly set a J.C. "Scrap" Chandler Pool record.
Hubert, along with Chelsea Martin, Laura Cempel and Juliana Santos finished in third place in the 200-yard medley relay with a time of 1:49.22.
Yesim Girensunlu won the 500-yard freestyle (5:02.66) and the 1000-yard freestyle (10:11.71).
Laura Cempel made her senior day one to remember as she won the 100-yard breaststroke (1:07.71). Cempel also finished in second place in the 200-yard breaststroke (2:27.13).
Danielle Naylor helped the Lady Monarchs with a pair of third place finishes in the 200-yard butterfly (2:08.17) and the 1000-yard freestyle(10:29.61).
Abby Vance finished in second place in the 500-yard freestyle (5:03.27).
Savannah Bowers finished the 200-yard freestyle race in 1:53.57, which earned her a second place finish.
Kady Holland won the women's 1-meter (176.25) and the 3-meter (174.67) diving competitions for the Lady Monarchs.
Old Dominion will not be in action for a month, as they prepare for the Colonial Athletic Association Championships, which begin on Feb. 27 in Fairfax, Va.

The new album from DREAM THEATER, entitled "Black Clouds & Silver Linings", sold 40,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 6 on The Billboard 200 chart.
Commented DREAM THEATER drummer Mike Portnoy: "This is truly amazing.... that after almost 25 years together, this band is still growing and progressing and doing bigger and better numbers than ever... I can't think of many bands that can claim that. Plus — a progressive metal album with four songs over 12 minutes in the U.S. Top 10??? (wedged between JONAS BROTHERS, EMINEM and HANNAH MONTANA!) Hell must've frozen over!!!! (This must be a first of its kind...)"

All posts will be moderated and evaluated against our guidelines. Our goal is a constructive yet honest review board that benefits our members. Please be aware that this forum IS NOT for discussion posting. If you wish to post a question or to ask for opinions on a product, please do so in the Learning at Home and Beyond Forum.
Prerequisite to Post: To maintain the integrity of this forum, a member must have a minimum of 50 posts and have been a member for 2 months (60 days).
One Thread Per Company Please! Please peruse the threads to find the company or line of products you desire to review. If the business has not previously been reviewed, a member may begin a new thread. Please use only the business or product name as the title of the thread. Please do not use thread icons.
Please Use Our Form! Follow this link to our Reviews Form which you may cut and paste into your review post.
Time Allotment: Please allow 24 to 72 hours for your review to post. All posts are reviewed by the moderator before being submitted as a thread/to the thread.
#1. This board will allow for both positive and negative reviews.
Negative reviews must not be written 'off the cuff' with spiteful intent, but with the intention of alerting other members to negative experiences. All responses need be constructive and tactful in nature on all accounts. Customer service issues, shipping expedience, rapid refunds or exchanges, discrepancies in product solicitation and actual receipt are welcome. That said, this review board will not be a place to work through negative feelings toward a business or business owner.
#2. Word of Mouth Reviews In no case will 'word' of another's experience or opinion be a part of a review.
#3. Resolving Discrepancies. MDC will not take responsibility or mediate discrepancies between a business and a customer and MDC will not host an ongoing dialogue between the two members. We ask that if a discrepancy has been resolved, that the original poster of the negative review please return to place an update regarding the resolution for the benefit of our members.
#4. Responsibility. As a member of MDC, you are to be responsible for your words in your personal review. Before submitting any negative reviews of a business, customer service or product, please contact the business in question to resolve the issue. Hearsay will not be allowed as each review must be specific to your personal experience with the company or product. Broad sweeping statements are not tactful or constructive and may be defamatory - members must speak only from their personal interaction with the company and/or her product.
#5. Regarding reviews of used items: Although a positive customer review regarding a used purchase only further verifies the quality of the item, a negative customer review of an item previously used by another begs the question of previous wear and care, washing habits, age, etc. For this reason, negative reviews will be limited to NEW products purchased directly from the business or an authorized retailer. Reviews are to address issues of your OWN personal experience using the products on your child; any reviews addressing hearsay will not be posted.
As always we will be reviewing our policies after a period of time to best serve the MDC community. If you have any questions, concerns, or suggestions you may direct them via pm or email to a moderator or administrator.

Where the abundance of archaeological remains unveil the master lines of Mayan cosmology

All the information you can't miss about the land
Kilometer 6.5 of the highway going to Palenque Archaeological Zone, in the municipality of Palenque, Chiapas
Monday through Sunday from 8:00 to 16:00
57 pesos. The archaeological zone offers irregular hours after 17:00 for a cost of 191 pesos.
Get located
Find it on the map along with other useful resources
While flying over Palenque, travelers see an abandoned city, a city that does not seem to ever have been inhabited by human beings. They see pyramids and plazas covered by wilderness over a thousand years ago. The even treetops embrace the pyramids, which show their moss-covered peaks.
The true name of the ancient city of Palenque is Lakamha, which translates as "Big Water". Although, eventually, the archaeological zone took its name from the neighboring community founded towards the end of the 16th Century, Santo Domingo de Palenque. Palenque means "Stake" which refers to a wooden circle built to protect the site.
Palenque, declared a World Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 1987, was the most important city of the low western lands during the late Classic period. It reached its peak between 600 and 800 A.D.
It began to decline at the beginning of 900 A.D., and was eventually devoured by the jungle, until 1784, when José Antonio Calderón conducted the first official exploration of the site and, a year later, Antonio Bernasconi conducted a detailed study of its buildings.
Palenque was, along with Tikal and Calakmul, one of the most powerful Classic Mayan cities. It was the seat of one of the most distinguished dynasties, which Pakal belonged to.
Very well preserved, the abundance of archaeological, architectural, pictorial, and written remains, among others, have made Palenque a required place for archaeologists to come and decipher the lines of Mayan writing and its cosmological tales.
It is also, from a monumental point of view, a landmark for Mayan culture, due to the quality of its architecture as well as the originality of its constructions. Its original architecture include the tilted façades on the buildings upper parts and panels with stucco embossing. It was one of the most important Mayan cities of the Classic period and today, it is a renowned archaeological zone thanks to its architecture, sculptures and the vast group of hieroglyphic inscriptions that tell us about its long and fruitful history.
The Temple of the Inscriptions, built in front of the Great Palace, is located in the upper part of a staggered pyramid. It has five entrances, an unusual trait in Mayan architecture. It is actually a funeral temple filled with inscriptions that live up to its name, with a carved tile inside which leads to a stairway which, in turn, leads to a funeral chamber, located in the depths of the building. Inside the mortuary chamber, which is seven meters high, there is a beautiful decoration and a richly carved sarcophagus containing the remains of Pakal II or K'inich Janahb Pakal II (Sun Shield Bird-Janahb), who lived between 603 and 683 A.D. and ruled for 67 years.
The Palace, in front of the Temple of the Inscriptions, is more than just a building, it is a magnificent group of interconnected structures on an artificial terrace, which were built, remodeled, and modified over the course of four hundred years. It is one of the most beautiful and complex structures of the Mayan World due to the diversity of its elements. It consists of hallways, staggered bases, subterranean galleries, courtyards, panels with hieroglyphics and other sculptural elements, such as the Oval, which displays the enthronement of Pakal next to his mother Zac Kuk.
Alongside the Temple of the Inscriptions, stand the Temple of the Skull and the Red Queen Temple, laid over a wide platform; at the top, the buildings reveal the remnants of temples, which served as tombs for important people of the site's dynasty.
The Cross Group consists of the Temple of the Cross, Temple of the Sun, and Temple of the Foliated Cross, three staggered pyramids with temples that commemorate the ascension to the throne, after the death of Pakal the Great and Lord Chan Bahlum II, displaying the new lord receiving greatness from the hands of his predecessor. The Temple of the Sun is distinguishes for having the best preserved of all site cresting, which is over 4 meters high, and the panel of the Sun rests in its interior, carved in limestone. The Temple of the Cross is the tallest in the group. The entrance to the premises is flanked by two carved tombstones that display two richly-dressed men, the first is the Jaguar-Serpent ruler and the second is an underworld deity. The Temple of the Foliated Cross was built at the peak of a small hill. Its front façade and cresting have completely collapsed.
The North Group is located away from the plaza, to the north. It consists of five aligned buildings over the same base. To the west, the Temple of the Count can be seen with its five-body base. At the peak is a small temple that retains a large part of its original architecture, except for the cresting. This is where several almost intact tombs with offerings were found. Temple XIX, a throne decorated with two carved panels, is one of the most interesting structures in recent findings.
While on the site, a visit to the onsite museum is a must. The museum is named after the eminent archaeologist Alberto Ruz Lhuillier, who discovered the Tomb of Pakal II. Carved tombstones, stucco and ceramic figures, incense holders, as well as obsidian, jade and seashell jewels can be appreciated –all these pieces are rescued objects from the Palenque archaeological zone.
In 2007 opened a replica of the burial chamber and the sarcophagus of Pakal, with the intention of safeguarding the original monument located in the Temple of the Inscriptions.

As has already been posted today, the osteo team from Cardiff University are currently out in Turkey, on site at Catalhoyuk and apparently for their day off are lounging by the pool, a particularly difficult task I imagine. As well as the bone-iologists, one colleague is in Iceland working on a site out there and another is currently excavating in Romania. Cardiff is seeming massively unappealing and rather dull at this point in time. Why a PhD in medieval and early post-medieval pottery from Wales seemed a good idea three years ago when I applied for the studentship here is beyond me.
Despite my jealous grumblings (mostly to myself as the post-graduate room is so quiet and now to you) this has been an informative, busy and exciting couple of years. Having the ability to spend three years on a subject you love is a luxury and one I keep having to remind myself of in the dark writing up stage. Post-graduate life here in Cardiff has been amazing fun and it is strange to think that that will all have to end once finished. It is quite difficult to watch others around you completing and passing vivas, which ultimately leads to a change in dynamic within the community you live and work in, as well as rely on, to provide support through what can be incredibly challenging years.
The post-graduate room here at Cardiff is central to the developing research community and it is where many a thesis has been written and are in the process of being written now. Friendships, relationships and collaborative projects are developed in this room, many of which last beyond the PhD timescale.
One collaborative project which has been recognised as important to all who spend time in this room is the Jaffa Cake challenge. We have sampled and tested the full range of Jaffa Cakes available, including the time old favourite McVities as well as the other supermarket alternatives. I'm afraid I don't have any official stats and as the room is empty have not been able to call for a show of hands today on the matter, but we believe as a collective to have come to a conclusion on the perfect Jaffa Cake: Lidl's finest Sondey Orange Jaffa Cake. It has the perfect balance of chocolate, orange and soft cake base, none of this slightly crunchy, could actually be stale, quality you often find with the branded variety.
I couldn't imagine doing anything but archaeology with regards to a career and even though the last 6 months have been a struggle, my archaeological spirits have not been dampened, for at least I always know that the post-graduate room (even on a quiet day like today) can provide solace, a friendly ear – when people aren't on amazing field projects – and a packet of Jaffa Cakes.
