2008 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe
Lot 161 | $201,600 USD
Sold
From Sotheby's:
The Spirit of Ecstasy embodied: A powerful, luxurious, and modern convertible coupe
Clad in Black Diamond Metallic over Creme leather upholstery
Desirably specified with optional teakwood rear decking and brushed steel bonnet
Benefits from nearly $18,000 of mechanical servicing completed in November 2022
Fewer than 8,620 actual miles indicated at time of cataloguing
Considered by many to be the most elegant and desirable model in the Rolls-Royce Phantom VII range, the Phantom Drophead Coupe added a touch of open-air sophistication to the marque’s already exceptional flagship. The Drophead Coupe shares mechanicals with the Phantom saloon and made its debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on 7 January 2007.
Like the marque’s 2004 100EX concept car, which it is styled after, the production cars use novel rearward-opening coach doors along with a yacht-like exterior design theme. Moreover, while Rolls-Royces have traditionally been known as cars wherein the owner is driven, this variant is undoubtedly one the owner will want to experience from behind the wheel—helping spark a modern renaissance for driver-focused automobiles bearing the Spirit of Ecstasy. A hand-assembled, silky smooth 454-horsepower, 6.75-liter V-12 and six-speed automatic transmission work in tandem to provide seamless acceleration; 60 mph comes in a brisk 5.7 seconds.
The seventh model-generation in the history of the legendary British super-luxury brand to carry the flagship Phantom name, it takes Rolls-Royce technicians more than 260 hours to build a Phantom—not counting any bespoke features. Accordingly, just 261 Phantom Drophead Coupes were produced for the 2008 model year, one fine example of which is offered here.
This Phantom Drophead Coupe wears a stunning two-tone Black Diamond Metallic and brushed stainless steel exterior which pairs handsomely with its crème interior, complete with extensive burlwood and brushed stainless steel trim. Finished with black carpeting, the cabin is concealed by a low-slung black cloth power convertible top with optional teak decking cover. Brushed stainless steel A-pillars complete the car’s attractive silhouette.
The sleek and modern appeal of this 18-foot-long luxury cruiser truly drives home the nautical design inspiration. Each gauge and headrest is emblazoned with the distinctive “RR” logo, never letting any occupant forget the prestige and craftsmanship inherent to this finely-finished automobile.
In November 2022, the consignor lavished this exquisite Phantom with nearly $18,000 in mechanical servicing from Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Cleveland, which included the fitment of two new front air-suspension struts, an airbag control module, a convertible top flag linkage, an oil change, and a four-wheel alignment.
Now indicating fewer than 8,620 miles at time of cataloguing and accompanied by its manuals, factory battery charger, two umbrellas, and service invoices, there can be no better choice for those seeking the most elegant, luxurious, characterful, and modern 12-cylinder convertible. Over a decade after it left Rolls-Royce’s Goodwood factory, this Drophead Coupe still presents as a thoroughly modern automobile, and in the pantheon of Rolls-Royce it stands proudly amongst its predecessors.

At last, out in the mountains to spend a day with my favourite mountain, Tryfan! A very cold and very icy day with only a few hours in the morning to get any shots, the rest of the day was overcast with constant snow showers. Fantastic to be there even if I couldn't spend as much time as I wanted to out with my camera.

The Atomium is the iconic building in Brussels originally constructed for Expo 58, the 1958 Brussels Worlds Fair. Designed by the engineer Andre Waterkeyn and architects Andre and Jean Polak, it stands 102 m (335 ft) tall. Its nine stainless steel clad spheres are connected so that the whole forms the shape of a unit cell of an iron crystal magnified 165 billion times. It also works as a museum.
In 1958, it was said that the Atomium embodied the boldness of a time wanting to confront the fate of humanity with the scientific discoveries. The building had to symbolize the trust in the scientific progress and give a brand image to the World Fair, the first one organized since that of New York in 1939. The idea was centred on an optimistic modernity intended to make people forget World War II.
Behind shadows, behind fingers
I'm hiding my true passion
To be, to be alone
In my garden,
In its corners
I'm looking for the path of my thoughts in the dark...
Clad in shadows.

Pix proteins across eukaryotes.
A cladogram of a wide range of organisms is drawn according to the current, generally accepted consensus. Pix genes were identified by BLAST search of genomes and identified as hits to the N-terminal 7 WD-40 repeats and the C-terminal coiled-coil region. When these proteins were in turn used to search all genomes their closest vertebrate homologues were Pix proteins. The presence of Pix genes in the genome is indicated by black entries and their absence by red. Pix sequences were compared to Xenopus laevis Pix2 by pairwise BLAST and the P-value for the match is shown.
this is the cladding on the building housing "home of hairy" that i posted a couple of shots ago.

The RIF marker separates Clavibacter michiganensis strains into the three subspecies.
The rooted neighbor-joining cladogram was constructed from 114 characterized Clavibacter strains from the PBC (Table 2), two reference strains from GenBank (see Table 1 for strain names) and the outgroup Leifsonia xyli. Identical sequences are represented only once and the number of sequenced strains is indicated on each leaf. Bootstrap values >50% (shown at the node) are expressed as a percentage of 5,000 replicates. Red text indicates C. michiganensis strains with no previous subspecies designation. Cm† is a non-pathogenic strain isolated from tomato that is most similar to Cmi. Unknowns #1-10 were isolated from a recent bacterial canker outbreak of tomato (see text) and perfectly match two of the Cmm RIF reference sequences. Cmm: C. michiganensis subsp. michiganensis. Cmi: C. michiganensis subsp. insidiosus. Cms: C. michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus.
Consensus tree and population substructure estimated from SPP markers.At the top, a Fitch & Margoliash tree of 40 C. annuum lines, rooted with C. frutescens and C. Chinense. The majority-rule consensus cladogram (overall equal branch lengths) was generated from 13,621 SPP markers. Numbers associated with branches indicate percent support based on 7,500 bootstrap replicates. Branches with less than 50% support have been collapsed. At the bottom is shown C. annuum population substructure determined using Structure with 2,712 mapped SPP markers for K = 2 to K = 6. Each genotype is represented by a vertical column and genotypes are ordered according to the cladogram. Each color bar represents a different subpopulation and the proportion of a given variety's color bar represents the proportion that variety belongs to the corresponding subpopulation. The branches of the cladogram are colored according to the highest proportion subpopulation assignment when K = 6 with grey branches indicating highly admixed individuals, having no more than a 0.60 fraction assigned to any subpopulation. Grouping by common structure subpopulation constitution is indicated by colored border with assigned names shown below. Long Yellow Marconi and Lange Westlandse Rode are abbreviated L. Yellow Marconi and L. W. Rode, respectively.
Constructia cladirii a inceput in 1871, dupa planurile arhitectilor vienezi Helmer si Fellner si a fost terminata in 1875. Doua incendii de proportii au devastat cladirea. Primul a avut loc in 1880 si reconstructia a durat pana in 1882, pastrandu-se integral forma originala a cladirii, construita in stil "Renaissance". Dupa cel de-al doilea incendiu - 1920 - au mai ramas intacte doar aripile laterale ale cladirii. Reconstructia se face dupa planurile arhitectului Duiliu Marcu, pastrandu-se stilul original numai la fatadele laterale, fatada principala si sala de spectacole imbracand stilul neobizantin caracteristic arhitecturii romanesti a timpului. În aceasta cladire isi desfasoara activitatea in mod armonios patru institutii de arta - caz unic in lume: Opera Romana, Teatrul National "Mihai Eminescu", Teatrul German de Stat si Teatrul Maghiar "Csiky Gergely".
Opera Națională Română Timișoara este o companie națională de operă, operetă și balet înființată prin Decretul Regal de Mihai I în 30 martie 1946. Conducerea nou infiintatei institutii va fi incredintata renumitei cantarete Aca de Barbu. Spectacolul inaugural al Operei Romane din Timisoara a avut loc la 27 aprilie 1947 cu opera "Aida" de G. Verdi în prezenţa primului ministru de atunci Dr. Petru Groza.
Demna de o premiera este evenimentul inregistrat la 23 iunie 1964 ca fiind PRIMA TRANSMISIUNE DE TELEVIZIUNE IN DIRECT A UNEI OPERE INTEGRALE, realizata de Radioteleviziunea Romana de atunci. Spectacolul difuzat a fost "Bal mascat" de G. Verdi.

Burj Khalifa est la plus grande tour du monde (en arabe : برج خليفة, tour de Khalifa). Appelée Burj Dubaï jusqu’à son inauguration, c'est un gratte-ciel situé à Dubaï aux Émirats arabes unis, devenu en mai 2009 la plus haute structure humaine jamais construite. Sa hauteur finale, atteinte le 17 janvier 2009, est de 828 mètres. Elle doit former le cœur d’un nouveau quartier : Downtown Burj Khalifa. Son inauguration et ouverture partielle ont eu lieu le 4 janvier 2010.
À noter que celle-ci sera dépassée par la Kingdom Tower de Djeddah en Arabie saoudite d'ici 2018.
Burj Khalifa fait partie d’un vaste projet urbanistique, immobilier et architectural couvrant une superficie de 2 km2. Il s’agit de créer un nouveau quartier, Downtown Burj Khalifa, un peu au sud du centre historique de Dubaï, et à côté du quartier côtier de Jumeirah (en), mais situé quelques kilomètres à l’intérieur des terres. Ce quartier doit comprendre, outre le gratte-ciel du même nom, un lac artificiel et de nombreux bâtiments de grandes dimensions. En tout, il prévoit un ensemble de 30 000 résidences, neuf hôtels dont The Address Downtown Burj Dubaï achevé en 2008, au moins 19 tours résidentielles, le plus grand centre commercial du monde, le Dubaï Mall qui y a ouvert ses portes en 2008, trois hectares de parcs et le lac artificiel de douze hectares (Lac de Burj Khalifa). Sur ce dernier, la fontaine de Dubaï offre un spectacle aquatique.
Burj Khalifa (Arabic: برج خليفة, "Khalifa Tower", pronounced English /ˈbɜːrdʒ kəˈliːfə/), known as Burj Dubai before its inauguration, is a megatall skyscraper in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. It is the tallest artificial structure in the world, standing at 829.8 m (2,722 ft).[4][9]
Construction of Burj Khalifa began in 2004, with the exterior completed in 2009. The primary structure is reinforced concrete. The building opened in 2010, as part of the new development called Downtown Dubai. It is designed to be the centerpiece of large-scale, mixed-use development. The decision to build the building is reportedly based on the government's decision to diversify from an oil-based economy, and for Dubai to gain international recognition. The building was named in honor of the ruler of Abu Dhabi and president of the United Arab Emirates, Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan; Abu Dhabi and the UAE government lent Dubai money to pay its debts. The building broke numerous height records.
Burj Khalifa was designed by Adrian Smith then of Skidmore, Owings and Merrill (SOM), whose firm also designed the Willis Tower and the One World Trade Center. Hyder Consulting was chosen to be the supervising engineer with NORR Group Consultants International Limited chosen to supervise the architecture of the project. The design of Burj Khalifa is derived from patterning systems embodied in Islamic architecture, incorporating cultural and historical elements particular to the region such as the spiral minaret. The Y-shaped plan is designed for residential and hotel usage. A buttressed core structural system is used to support the height of the building, and the cladding system is designed to withstand Dubai's summer temperatures. A total of 57 elevators and 8 escalators are installed, with the elevators having a capacity of 12 to 14 people per cabin.
Critical reception to Burj Khalifa has been generally positive, and the building received many awards. However, the labor issues during construction have been controversial, since the building was built primarily by workers from South and East Asia, who earned low wages and were reportedly housed in poor conditions. The center of gravity is in the bottom because it stops it from moving from earthquakes.

Tanglegrams, generated by TreeMap 2.0b, using consensus ML topologies based on the amino acid sequences of the nucleocapsid (N) protein (labeled Saa) and viral RNA-dependent RNA-polymerase (L protein) (labeled Laa) segments of NVA MSB95703 and representative rodent-, shrew- and mole-borne hantaviruses and cytochrome b mtDNA sequences of the respective reservoir host species.
Node support was derived from 100 ML bootstrap replicates executed on the RAxML web server. Virus and host names are provided in the legend to Figure 4. Concordance of host and hantavirus cladograms was high (red line), except for two shrew mole-associated hantaviruses (ASA and OXB) which showed evidence of host switching (green line).
