Universal Audio Solo 110 & 610
Hardware > Preamp
By Hugh Robjohns
The Solo 110 and Solo 610 are a pair of high-quality, no-frills preamps - one solid-state, the other valve.
There can be very few people interested in recording sound that have not come across the name of Bill Putnam, Senior. He was a legend, not only as one of the great recording engineers of the '50s, '60s and '70s, but also as a designer of studios and recording equipment. In 1999, Bill Putnam Jr. and his brother James re-founded their late father's Universal Audio company and today the company focuses on two main lines of work: authentic hardware reproductions and innovative software emulations of classic analogue equipment.
The subject of this review is a pair of very neat, single-channel preamps based reasonably closely on existing UA technology. The first is a single-channel version of the Precision 110 series Class-A solid-state preamps found in the 4110 and 8110 units, while the second is yet another incarnation of the classic Putnam 610 valve preamp. The two units form the Solo series, and are called the Solo 110 and Solo 610, respectively.
The unique aspect of these preamps is really their form factor — they are compact, portable, single-channel units, with a refined feature set offering just the essentials. Both units share exactly the same rugged steel chassis and have identical features and facilities, but the internal electronics are obviously completely different. The chassis measures 146 x 127 x 355 mm (WxHxD), with a strap handle on the top, and the top and sides extend beyond the chassis frame to protect the switches on the front and back panels. The sides have stylish cooling slots cut in the shape of the UA logo. The solid-state Solo 110 weighs 2.4kg while the valve Solo 610 is heavier at 4kg, thanks to the additional transformers the latter model contains.
The rear-panel facilities for both units comprise a pair of XLRs for a mic input and balanced output, plus the ubiquitous IEC mains inlet with a separate mains on/off rocker switch. In keeping with its vintage styling, the 610 features a pair of metal toggle switches associated with the output XLR, which provide a ground lift and adjust the output level between mic and line settings. The Solo 110 has identical facilities but uses illuminated blue push buttons.
The Solo 610's IEC inlet includes a fuse-holder-cum-voltage-selector catering for 115 or 230V operation, while the 110 model has a switched-mode power supply that can accommodate any mains voltage from 90 to 250V. Both units consume a maximum of 18W of power.
Moving around to the front panel, both units have identical facilities, but the 610 controls them with metal toggle switches and large, vintage-style knobs, while the 110 uses the same illuminated blue push buttons and modern knobs as are found on the 4110 and 8110 units.
In both cases, the left-hand knob controls the input gain, while the right-hand knob sets the output level, and both are scaled arbitrarily from 0 to 10. The first of the five switches selects between the rear-panel mic input and front-panel DI input, while the second configures the input for high or low impedance. Next is a phantom power switch, followed by a 100Hz high-pass filter switch and, finally, an output polarity reverse switch. A blue LED shows when the power is switched on, and a tri-colour LED gives a crude indication of signal level. The LED shows green when the signal is at a nominal signal level, turns amber as the headroom limit is approached and the amount of distortion increases, and turns red when the amplifier clips.
The front-panel DI input is joined by a parallel-wired 'thru' output (both are on quarter-inch jacks) allowing the preamp to take a 'sniff' of a guitar signal en route to the guitar amp, for example. The DI input is about 20dB less sensitive than the mic input, which is pretty much ideal.
The switchable input impedance affects both mic and DI inputs. When the DI input is used, the options are 47kΩ or 2.2MΩ, while the mic input can see 500Ω or 2kΩ. The high-impedance mode could be considered the default condition, being ideally suited for 90 percent of circumstances, but the lower value provides an alternative flavour that may prove useful. In particular, dynamic mics often sound more interesting when loaded with 500Ω or so.
As might be expected, the all-valve Solo 610 has a lower maximum gain than the solid-state Solo 110, the figures being 60dB and 77dB respectively. These figures are both with the low-impedance mode selected — the gain drops a few dB in high-impedance mode — and the maximum gain is roughly 20dB less when the DI input is selected, as already mentioned. Similarly, the audio bandwidth of the two versions differs, with the valve model spanning a respectable 20Hz to 20kHz (±1dB) and the solid-state version comfortably beating that with 10Hz to 60kHz (±0.2dB).
The maximum input levels for the Solo 610 are +4dBu for the DI input and -12dBu for the mic input (at 1 percent distortion). The output level is dependent to a degree on the loading because of the output transformer, but it can produce +18dBu into a 100KΩ load, falling to +14dBu into 600Ω. The solid-state Solo 110 can accept up to +3dBu on the mic input and produce +19dBu into a 600Ω load, rising to a massive +31dBu into 100KΩ.
At the expensive end of the market, the single-channel preamp format is not a particularly popular one — at least not without EQ and dynamics thrown in. I can really only think of two direct alternatives: the SPL Gain Station 1 and the Avalon M5. The Avalon is an impressive all-discrete Class-A solid-state preamp, while the SPL is a hybrid, incorporating a switchable tube stage to add that special thermionic character when required. Both are excellent preamps in their own right, with the M5 leaning more towards the neutral and transparent end of the range, and the Gain Station being a little more colourful when required, but still capable of very faithful reproduction when appropriate.
The Solo 610 is a pretty faithful recreation of the original 610 preamp design, also found in the Universal Audio LA610 and 2-610. The Solo 610 uses the same dual-triode 12AX7 and 6072 valves — the former to handle the input, and the latter to drive the output — and the output transformer is also the same as that used in the 2-610. I believe the input transformer is slightly different, though, to suit the revised input circuitry. WIMA capacitors are used throughout alongside conventional components set out neatly on a relatively spacious circuit board, roughly half of which is given over to the linear power supply with a generously sized mains transformer. There are only two ICs in the whole box — one is a voltage regulator in the power supply and the other drives the signal level LED. The audio signal only passes through the two valves and two transformers — the way Putnam intended!
Unlike its peers, the Solo 610 has a single, continuous Gain control instead of the rotary 5dB stepped switch of the original and its subsequent recreations, and there is no line input facility or 15dB pad to accommodate high-level sources.
The characteristic aspect of the 610 circuit design is that to increase the input gain, the amount of negative feedback around the input 12AX7 valve is reduced. This inevitably results in an increase in harmonic distortion, which affords the user the ability to juggle the Gain and Level controls to optimise both signal level and sound quality. Crank the input gain up for a slightly crunchier sound, back it off for a cleaner sound, and adjust the Level control to provide the appropriate peak levels at the output. It's simple, elegant and surprisingly versatile.
By comparison, the internal layout of the Solo 110 seems ultra-modern and complex. Most of the passive components are surface-mounted with just a few conventional WIMA capacitors thrown in where it matters. The power supply is a compact switched-mode module, with additional regulation and filtering on the main board — the whole lot taking up about a quarter of the internal real estate.
The same input transformer is used as the Solo 610, but there is no output transformer. The audio path is via an all-discrete Class-A, DC-coupled design using matched FETs as the active devices, and a lot of them! The Precision 110 series is famed for its superb dynamics and clarity, while still retaining something of the warmth that characterises the vintage Putnam designs. Again, the few ICs in the box are power regulators and the signal level LED driver.
The Precision 4110 and 8110 preamps feature a switch labelled 'Shape' which is absent from the Solo 110. On the Precision models, this switch alters the transformer and input circuitry loading in three stages to provide a range of harmonic colourations. It's absence from the Solo 110 is basically a cost-cutting move, and the unit is effectively permanently set to the 'Vintage' position. Of the three modes, this is the most flexible and best-sounding in my opinion, providing a wide range of sonic control from the mildest of mid-range presence to a fairly obvious rich character, just by adjusting the input gain — just like the 610.
While both Solo models are able to provide a range of sonic colours, the two units also have a fairly distinct 'signature' character of their own. The Solo 610 has a slightly rounder, fatter, richer character, and it sounds slightly more closed at the top end compared to the 110. This is not a criticism, though. Rather, it is an essential part of the preamp's vintage personality. The 110 sounds more modern and open — a little more detailed and crisp, and with a more up-front dynamic, yet without the clinical harshness that many would associate with generic solid-state preamps. The gain and headroom provided by the 110 is quite substantial — making it virtually bomb-proof in that regard — although I had no problems with the 610 in terms of running out of gain or headroom, even when using a modern ribbon mic.
Given that the majority of the recording work I do involves mostly classical music, I generally favour accurate, transparent and characterless preamps, and given the choice I would probably opt for the Solo 110 as the closest to that ideal for me. It is quite capable of usefully neutral results, but it also has the flexibility to introduce some subtle richness and body to the sound when driven harder — something that worked well when DI-ing some 'clean' electric guitar parts.
The Solo 610 is noticeably darker and richer in character from the off, and wouldn't be my first choice for most classical recording, but is ideal for recording vocals and percussion parts, and sounded great as a DI for guitars and basses. There's plenty of scope for dialling in loads of character here, and it's almost impossible to make a nasty sound! There is a subtly forward quality to the sound, helping it to cut through the mix nicely.
The Solo units aren't cheap as single-channel mic preamps go, but they are very solidly built using quality components. Consequently, I would expect them to be providing sterling service in 20 years without any problems at all — and that's saying something in these days of cheap-and-cheerful disposable equipment.
They offer simple facilities, yet are able to condition and tailor the signals to meet most if not all technical and sonic requirements. The convenience of a reasonably compact and portable mic preamp should not be underestimated, and the Solo units will appeal to a wide range of users and applications, spanning location recording engineers, to commercial studios, to stage vocalists with deep pockets. If the format suits your needs, and the budget allows, these are both worthwhile additions to your shortlist.
Stylish, practical design.
Extremely rugged and well built.
Classy sound.
DI input with loop-through.
Metering is rather superficial.
Universal Audio have capitalised on their strengths with these two preamps, and the only way they could improve upon them would be to combine both technologies in one box. Simple and straightforward to use, they are equipped with all the essential features and devoid of unnecessary frills. Choose either the valve 610 for that classic rich, but very controllable sound, or the solid-state 110 for a more modern, open and transparent sound.

A: I posted an answer here previously:
This is a Guava version conflict issue. The JanusGraph HBase example does not run into a Guava version error because of its specific dependencies listed and the order of those dependencies.
    <dependency>
        <groupId>org.janusgraph</groupId>

        <version>${project.version}</version>

        <artifactId>hbase-shaded-client</artifactId>
        <version>${hbase100.version}</version>
        <scope>runtime</scope>
    </dependency>

Note the usage of hbase-shaded-client (fixed with Issue #512) rather than hbase-client in your pom.xml which has a shaded version of Guava for use with HBase. Shading renames the package names of some of the dependencies, and this allows you to have different versions of Guava on the classpath without causing conflicts.
The Gremlin Console uses the hbase-shaded-client also and you can find that jar in the lib directory of the distribution.

Coronavirus: Bases say no plans to close Pergamos crossing point
There are currently no plans to close the crossing point at Pergamos, a British Bases spokesperson told the Cyprus News Agency on Thursday following the decision of the Turkish Cypriot authorities to close two crossing points.
One of them Strovilia, is in the area of the Eastern British Bases at Dhekelia. The other is Limnitis.
Moreover the spokesperson noted that the authorities of the British Bases are working closely with the Republic of Cyprus authorities to limit the threat of COVID-19 and anyone entering at Pergamos from the northern Turkish occupied areas or flying into RAF Akrotiri are screened in line with Republic of Cyprus policy.
The SBA spokesperson said that after confirmation that the Turkish side will close the crossing point at Strovilia at 6pm "the Sovereign Base Areas Administration can confirm there are currently no plans to close the crossing point at Pergamos. We keep our processes under review and continually monitor the situation. "
"The SBAA is working closely with the Republic of Cyprus authorities to limit the threat of COVID-19 and anyone entering from the north at Pergamos or flying into RAF Akrotiri are screened in line with Republic of Cyprus policy," the spokesperson concluded.

Amongst quite possibly the most prevalent electrical wiring thoughts is on how to wire a change. Whilst using switches in your house is fairly quick, wiring one might not be that uncomplicated for everyone. An ON-OFF switch is in fact quite simple to wire. You will discover different types of switches, but for this instance, let's say you will be setting up a single-pole toggle switch, a very widespread change (and also the easiest).
You will discover three colors of wires within a normal single-pole toggle switch: black, white, and inexperienced. Splice the black wire in two and connect them within the terminal screws - just one on major as well as other on the bottom screw with the change. The white wire serves being a resource of uninterrupted electrical power and is normally related into a gentle colored terminal screw (e.g., silver). Link the eco-friendly wire to your ground screw of your switch.
These actions would typically be adequate to generate a typical swap perform without having a trouble. Then again, if you aren't self-confident that you simply can carry out the task thoroughly and properly you superior permit the professionals do it in its place. Soon after all, there is certainly a rationale why this process has become the commonest electrical wiring concerns requested by most people.
For a few cause, tips on how to wire a ceiling fan is additionally one among probably the most prevalent electrical wiring inquiries. To simplify this endeavor, you can utilize one switch for the single ceiling fan. To wire the lover, it's only a make any difference of connecting the black wire from the ceiling fan on the black wire of the change. When there is a light, the blue wire need to be related into the black wire with the change at the same time.
You will find good reasons why they are the most normally requested electrical wiring questions. One particular, a lot of consider it really is easy to accomplish, and two, they're the prevalent electrical jobs at your house. But then you definitely shouldn't place your safety at risk with your intention to save money. The stakes could even be a great deal greater for those who make an effort to save money and do an electrical wiring work without having adequate awareness or working experience.

Emirates First Class voted best
Emirates' First Class mini-suite in its Airbus A340-500
The global business information website Forbes.com has selected Emirates as offering the 'Best First Class 2004' from among 10 top contenders.
The honour came in the wake of the start of Emirates' services to New York in June, with its ultra-modern A340-500 aircraft that offers First Class passengers mini-suites, personal mini-bars, room service and complete privacy.
Forbes.com evaluated the First Class service of top airlines on the basis of 13 criteria that included flat beds, privacy screens, on-demand television and food, limousine service, massage chairs and even pajamas and duvets provided to passengers. Emirates emerged as the clear leader with a 12-point score. Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines and Air France were the runners-up, at 10 points each.
About Emirates' First Class the Forbes.com article said: "In the air, passengers are treated to flat beds with massaging chairs, on demand dining and on demand entertainment with over 500 channels. Amenity kits are stocked with Clarins products, and there's a lit vanity built into the seat. The fully-flat sleeper beds have a mattress pad for extra cushioning, and passengers are given pajamas, slippers and a blanket... Privacy screens with 'do not disturb' signs can create a cocoon shelter around the bed, ensuring privacy and peace."
Nigel Page, Emirates' senior vice-president commercial operations, The Americas, said, "This is a great recognition of the Emirates quality service. It's all the more significant considering we began our non-stop daily flights to the US just over six months ago.

Andrea Pollack (Schwerin, República Democràtica Alemanya, 8 de maig de 1961 - Berlín, 13 de març de 2019) fou una nedadora alemanya guanyadora de sis medalles olímpiques. És la mare del judoka Michael Pinske.

Especialista en la modalitat de papallona, va participar, als 15 anys, en els Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de 1976 realitzats a Mont-real (Canadà), on va ser la primera dona a nedar 100 metres papallona (en la prova de relleus de 4 x 100 metres) en menys d'un minut. A més de guanyar la medalla d'or en els 200 m. papallona i en relleus 4x100 m. estils, establí un nou rècord olímpic amb un temps de 2:11.41 minuts i un nou rècord del món amb un temps de 4:07.95 minuts respectivament. Així mateix guanyà la medalla de plata en les proves dels 100 m. papallona i dels relleus 4x100 metres lliures.

Als següents Jocs Olímpics d'Estiu de 1980 celebrats a Moscou (Unió Soviètica), Pollack revalidà la medalla d'or i va tornar a ser campiona olímpica en el relleu de 4x100 metres estils i va guanyar la plata en els 100 metres papallona. També participà en els 200 metres papallona, on finalitzà en quarta posició i guanyà així un diploma olímpic.

Al llarg de la seva carrera guanyà tres medalles en el Campionat del Món de natació, dues d'elles de plata, i tres medalles al Campionat d'Europa de natació, dues de les quals d'or.

Posteriorment, Pollack va treballar com a fisioterapeuta al Centre Olímpic Regional de Berlín.

Q: Scala match both String and Array I am trying to call the method foldLeft on String/Array object. Something like:
def doSth(obj: Any): Int = {
  obj match {
    case t: TraversableOnce[Any] => t.foldLeft(0)((rs: Int, i: Any) => ...)
    case other => ...
  }
}

but when I call doSth("abc"), it matches case other. What I want is case t: TraversableOnce[Any].
Is there anyway to do this?

A: String is not a sub type of TraversableOnce. That's why It will not match TraversableOnce.
Although String can be implicitly convert to StringOps which is a sub type of TraversableOnce. check Predef.augmentString
You can do like this. In this case scala compiler will implicitly convert String to StringOps. It will print out class scala.collection.immutable.StringOps if we pass in a "hello"
def doSth(obj: TraversableOnce[Any]): Int = {
    println(obj.getClass())
    obj.foldLeft(0)((rs: Int, i: Any) => ...)
}

And in the following code. It will print out class java.lang.String if we pass in a "hello". Which means there is no implicit conversion.
def doSth(obj: Any): Int = {
  obj match {
    case t: TraversableOnce[Any] => t.foldLeft(0)((rs: Int, i: Any) => ...)
    case other =>
      println(other.getClass)
  }
}

Bayeux War Cemetery
Discussion in 'Bayeux War Cemetery' started by Jim, Sep 17, 2006.
4.648 graves: 3.935 British, 17 Australian, 181 Canadian, 8 New Zealanders, 1 South African, 25 Polish, 3 French, 2 Czech, 2 Italian, 7 Russian, 466 German, I Unknown.
The cemetery lies on the south-west side of the main ring road (built by the British in 1944) around the city of Bayeux. It is about 100 metres from the junction with the D5 to Littry, and almost opposite the Museum of the Battle of Normandy (which is well signposted throughout Bayeux).
Bayeux was liberated the day after the Landings on 7th June 1944. The first cemetery was laid out near a Field Hospital. Soldiers who died in other hospitals in the area were buried there subsequently. Bayeux is the largest British cemetery in France from the Second World War and the most cosmopolitan with 11 nationalities.
This Memorial stands on the opposite side of the road from the cemetery.
Beyond an entrance hall, stand two small towers, one either side of the Stone of Remembrance. Among the graves of the Commonwealth there are also different types of headstones for the Polish, French, Czech, Italian and Russian soldiers. as well as a sizeable German section. The cemetery is bounded by a low hedge of trimmed Beech leaving a view of the Cathedral and the City. On the other side of the road stands the memorial with the names inscribed of 1,537 British, 270 Canadians and 1 South African. These are the names of soldiers, Sailors and Airmen who are commemorated on their own memorials in Britain.

Corporal Sidney Bates
One of the few Normandy VC winners is buried here. Corporal Sidney Bates was serving with the Norfolk's when he took part in action at Sourdeval in August 1944, which resulted in the posthumous award of the Victoria Cross. From Camberwell, in London, Bates was badly wounded in the action, dying of his wounds the next day.
The Victoria Cross
His citation reads:
"In North-West Europe on 6th August, 1944, the position held by a battalion of the Royal Norfolk Regiment near Sourdeval was heavily attacked. Corporal Bates was commanding a forward section of the left forward company which suffered some casualties, so he decided to move the remnants of his section to an alternative position from which he could better counter the enemy thrust. As the threat to this position became desperate, Corporal Bates seized a light machine-gun and charged, firing from the hip. He was almost immediately wounded and fell, but he got up and advanced again, though mortar bombs were falling all round him. He was hit a second time and more seriously wounded, but he went forward undaunted, firing constantly till the enemy started to fall back before him. Hit for the third time, he fell, but continued firing until his strength failed him. By then the enemy had withdrawn and Corporal Bates, by his supreme gallantry and self-sacrifice, had personally saved a critical situation. He died shortly afterwards of the wounds he had received."

Raith Rovers have added to their squad ahead of the trip to Stranraer on Saturday.
The Kirkcaldy club have completed a deal to sign young Airdrie attacker, Willis Furtado, until the end of the season.
The 20-year-old Ivorian, who has scored six goals in League One this season and can play either on the wing or up front, was out of contract and available on a free transfer.
The move comes after Raith made a failed attempt to bring Aidan Connolly back to the club.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder, who spent successful five months at Stark's Park under Ray McKinnon, had been expected to leave York City in the Janaury window but now looks set to stay with the Northern Conference side after winning his place back in the starting XI and scoring in midweek.
Club owner, John Sim, was even prepared to put extra funds into the club's January transfer kitty in order to secure what would have been a popular signing, but that deal now looks off.

Researchers Discover A Purple Sea Creature Party
Ian Carey
Dr. Robert Ballard, the man who discovered the Titanic wreckage in 1985, appears to be in a race to discover the most stuff. At 74 years old, he doesn't appear to be slowing down either. His most recent expedition yielded some very peculiar findings.
This summer, his ship —the Nautilus — set sail off the coast of the Western U.S. to investigate "methane seeps." Seeps along the ocean floor are places where gasses (such as methane) bubble up, though it is unknown how much of the gas reaches the surface.
Methane seeps were thought to be rare until Ballard's expedition discovered 500 of them in the Pacific close to the Western U.S. "It appears that the entire coast off of Washington, Oregon and California is a giant methane seep," said Ballard. He was quick to point out we don't yet know what this means, other than it warrants more investigation.
"At first people thought they were incredibly rare. Now, thanks to these expeditions, these seeps may be very widespread, so the [methane] budgets may have to be recalculated. That's why the exploration is important," stated professor Jesse Ausubel, a member of the Nautilus team.
Weird purple sea creatures discovered
The team combed the sea floor with cameras and discovered far more than just the methane seeps — not that those aren't an important discovery. The team also found an odd array of creatures, some of whom may prove to be species previously unknown to science. Also, they all appear to be purple in color.
It is unclear if the species are always purple or if the researchers happened upon them during a themed get-together (it could easily have just been a Prince party).
The research team was nice enough to take video of their discoveries. Evidently, they were not enthusiastic enough about their findings to give their new discoveries scientific names:
Purple googly-eyed stubby squid
In the video, you can hear the researchers laugh and joke about how fake looking the creature appears to be. It does seem as though someone has stuck "googly eyes" on a toy and dropped it into the ocean. One researcher believes this creature to be a cuttlefish, which are closely related to squids and octopuses.
Mysterious purple orb
Researchers were stumped as to what this purple orb was. They attempted to retrieve it before a giant crab did. After sampling, on-shore scientists now believe it might be a pleurobranch, which is a type of sea slug, though it could also be a creature new to science.
Further testing revealed it was not a "purple disco ball" as one researcher initially believed.
Dark purple vampire squid
The vampire squid is a rare find, as they live only in lightless areas located deep in the ocean. You have to go down at least 2,000 feet before you find any of these squids. Not much is known about this species, however, as their habitat's location makes study difficult.
Additionally, the team also found purple sea cucumbers, what they referred to as purple "mud monsters." Not exactly the most scientific names, but it sure does sound like the team had fun discovering them.
There's no speculation as to why so many of the creatures in the area were purple, leaving the Prince-themed party as the leading theory by default.
Dr. Robert Ballard
The expedition this summer by Dr. Ballard's team is just the latest in what appears to be a lifetime of discovery. There is possibly nobody in the world who has explored as much as Dr. Ballard has.
He has credited reading the book 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea as being the catalyst to his underwater curiosity. He grew up by the beach in San Diego and later served as an officer in the Navy. Since retiring, he has focussed simply on making discoveries.
He helped discover the wreckage of the Titanic in 1985 and the lost German Battleship "Bismark" in 1989. In 2002 he found John F. Kennedy's Motor Torpedo Boat, which was sunk in the Solomon Islands during World War II.
In 2003, he founded the Center for Ocean Exploration and Archaeological Oceanography at the University of Rhode Island.
What we don't know
Sometimes the most important lesson that science teaches us is that we actually know very little about the world around us. Consider that the world is 70 percent ocean, and we have only explored five percent of it. We haven't even been to most of the world's oceans. You have to wonder what googly eyed purple creatures might exist within that other 95 percent.
The recent discoveries of Ballard's team prove that when we go to new places, we discover new things. Luckily, we still have a lot of new places to go.

The Road to Coronation Street
Posted: Thu Sep 16, 2010 10:16 pm Post subject: The Road to Coronation Street
Loved everything about this drama ..great casting!
When Jessie Wallace turned round in the audition and launched into Elsie's part it was as if Pat Phoenix had walked into the office..terrific performance and Lynda Baron was another one who caught the essence of Ena Sharples beautifully....and unless it was just for dramatic purposes we were told if it wasn't for the tea lady Coronation Street might not have made it to our screens.
A wonderful piece of TV nostalgia ...loved it!

I have it recorded and we'll probably watch it over the weekend. It's fascinating that Bill Roache's younger son plays a young Ken Barlow, and that the director of this drama was one of Coronation Street's directors way back when....
And he (William Roache) looks very like his father as does the elder son Linus

I watched it as well. I thought it was very good. The young William Roache seemed a bit big headed, i wonder if he grew out of it

Ooh I completely forgot about this. Spent all evening on the Radio 2 board for the last time ... so didn't watch any telly.
I used to love Corrie - haven't watched it for years though, but grew up with Ena, Elsie Tanner and co.
Hopefully it will be up on the iplayer.

We set it to record, but ended up watching it right the way through. A real trip down memory lane for me 'cos I worked at GTV from 1967 to 1977 and went to the 10th anniversary party.
The portrayal of Sidney Bernstein was nowhere near frightening enough though Mr Cecil's was pretty near the mark. Mr Sidney was so horrific to work for that when he came up to Manchester all the secretaries had their names on a rota system to go to work for him. No-one would volunteer. Girls would go off sick just to avoid it. I remember him once looking out his office window and asking his temporary secretary to find out who designed a certain building he could see. When she couldn't he bellowed "well get your coat on and get out there and find out woman."
When it was my turn I just put on the shortest dress I had, with matching knickers, put my hair in pigtails and wore no make up. I nearly always got an easy ride, but you had to be just incompetent enough not to annoy him, but enough to make sure he didn't ask for you every time.
To err is human, to forgive - canine.

Hi everyone,My first post on here so here goes....
Road to Corrie....brilliant bit of drama,brought back memories of when Corrie was worth watching.Never rated Jessie Wallace before but she captured Pat Phoenix to a tee.I remember as a kid she opened a new Tescos in my home town,she arrived in a Rolls Royce....the lady had class,just ask Len Fairclough...lol

Must have been extra special for you Minx...lots of memories flooding back....the actor who took the part of Sidney Bernstein (Steven Berkoff) has always looked a little frightening to me ..so a good pick to play such a part.....I heard today on the radio that Jimi Hendrix's favourite TV character was Ena Sharples..

No it didn't seem to put him in a good light did it,Suzysu?..makes you wonder what his son thought doing it?..
Just finished watching this and have to say what a superb piece of drama from the BBC. Excellent script, superb casting and the attention to detail was astonishing. It really felt as if you were back there. Difficult to single out any one performance but I if I had to choose it would be Lynda Baron's portrayal of Ena Sharples - which was uncanny.
If only there was more drama of this quality on TV, but sadly it's a rare occurrence these days. Ten out of ten!
On the subject of the William Roache character, I might be wrong but I think the point they were making was that here was this young actor who clearly thought he was going places. I think that's why the scriptwriter included some of the references to him having a London agent, another cast member said to him 'we are lucky to work with you before you go on to be famous in films' etc. etc. He was young, ambitious and full of himself.
I think it's fair enough for a young, good looking actor to think that he was going to go on to bigger things and that this part was just a job on the way 'it's only 13 episodes' says the character. The irony is of course that he is the only one still in the cast over 50 years later. He's never had another job since, never went on to other parts on TV, film although of course, his sons have.
I'm sure the real life William Roache would have been aware of how he was being portrayed seeing as how his son was playing him, and had no objections.

Celia Imrie as Doris Speed reprised Miss Babs from Acorn Antiques!
Tony Warren as portrayed in the programme was the real-life Ken Barlow in speech and manners, though the actor portraying Warren looked like he should have been in Heaven 17 circa 1983!

Watched a late night repeat and I thought is was fantastic. I used to watch the old black & white episodes as a kid with me mum and dad and remember Elsie Tanner and Ena Sharples and the rest of them.
The portrayals of Elsie, Ena and Mrs Walker were absolutely spot on, Jessie Wallace and Lynda Baron in particular must be immensely proud of their performances.
Mrs W missed it so I'm keen to find out when it's repeated again, I expect the BBC 4 website will tell me.

Is Cathay Pacific Premium Economy The Right Class For You?
As competition in the aviation industry increases, Cathay Pacific Airways is raising the bar as it makes significant investments in improving the customer experience. Recently declared the 'World's Best Airline' at the 2014 Skytrax World Airline Awards, Cathay Pacific has further distinguished itself as a premium international carrier with the introduction of its Premium Economy Class, which it promotes with a dedicated website entitled, "My Premium Economy Experience."
Cathay Pacific's Boeing 777-300ER, Boeing 747-400, and selected Airbus A330-300 and Airbus A340-300 aircraft have been reconfigured with the new Premium Economy class, which made its debut late last year. The new cabin class is very popular with travellers particularly on long-haul journeys as it allows them to experience additional space and comfort, while enjoying the same traditional Asian hospitality throughout the journey that Cathay Pacific has become known for.

Cathay Pacific's new fleet has been redesigned to include a three-class configuration that features Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy Class. First Class is being phased out as the carrier attempts to match demand for the other classes of service. The development of Premium Economy Class took two years from design to production as the airline focused heavily on the comfort and space used by passengers. According to Ivan Chu, Chief Operations Officer, the carrier wanted passengers to feel like they are receiving a "Premium" experience, rather than an "Economy" experience.
The Premium Economy cabin is equipped with 26 to 34 seats depending on the aircraft, providing passengers with comfort and privacy in a dedicated section of the aircraft that is separated from Economy Class. The section also features a dedicated cabin crew to serve and assist passengers. The Premium Economy cabin is priced higher than regular Economy Class but much lower than Business Class. The goal of the Premium Economy section is to bridge the gap between the prices of the Business and Economy cabins. Although Premium Economy fares are priced 50 to 80 percent higher than regular economy, Cathay Pacific Director of Sales and Marketing Rupert Hogg says, "We will never be the cheapest because we believe people will pay for the value if you get the product right."
CATHAY PACIFIC PREMIUM ECONOMY ENHANCEMENTS

Although the introduction of Premium Economy cabins is a growing trend in the airline industry, Cathay Pacific took it one step further improving not only the aircraft cabin but the entire end-to-end experience for passengers. Cathay Pacific's Premium Economy passengers are served at dedicated check-in counters and provided with an increased baggage allowance of 25 kilograms. Passengers are also provided with priority boarding after Business Class passengers. Once on board, cocktails and champagne are provided to passengers as they settle into their seats, along with personal amenity kits designed by G.O.D that are stylish and versatile.
The Premium Economy section is designed in a 2-4-2 configuration with eight seats abreast featuring the signature emerald green colour scheme of the carrier. Each seat was created for passengers to enjoy a 19.5-inch seat width, a 38-inch seat pitch, and an 8-inch recline. The seat features a soft cushion and includes a headrest that can be adjusted for taller passengers. The same pillows used in Business Class can also be found in the Premium Economy cabin. In comparison, Philippine Airlines, which also operates between Manila and Hong Kong, only offers a 34 inch seat pitch in Premium Economy aboard its Airbus A330-300 fleet.
A number of other amenities have been installed in the Premium Economy cabin to better reflect the experience of travelling on board a premium international carrier. A footstep can be found just below the premium economy seats to allow passengers easier access when reaching for the overhead bins. A coat hook can also be found next to the 10.6-inch personal touch screen monitor, along with a small space to stow your personal belongings just below it. In addition to larger meal tables, the centre console now incorporates a cocktail table, where passengers can enjoy drinks and snacks.
For in-flight entertainment, streaming content on personal electronic devices has never been easier with the multi-port connection situated beside the personal touch screen monitor. Complimentary noise cancelling headsets are also distributed. They are the same headsets used in Business Class. The in-flight dining menu has also been enhanced with selections reminiscent to the food being served in Business Class. Meals are also accompanied by a selection of fresh fruits, which many passengers enjoy on long haul flights.
MY PREMIUM ECONOMY EXPERIENCE WEBSITE
To better inform travellers about the benefits and features of flying Premium Economy on Cathay Pacific, the company developed a website entitled, "My Premium Economy Experience." The website is designed to showcase the features, benefits and details of Premium Economy Class not only from the perspective of the carrier, but most importantly from the actual first-hand experiences of passengers flying in Premium Economy Class.
The website features actual passenger reviews and photographs of their experience flying in Premium Economy. It also incorporates Twitter and Instagram feeds to highlight live comments and photographs from passengers of their on board experience. Passengers are also given an opportunity to respond to survey questions and to post their own reviews. All reviews are categorized by each stage of the travel experience from check-in to baggage collection and by the perspectives of various travellers from business people to tourists.
Launching a website to solicit and showcase passenger feedback is an industry leading move that puts the carrier one step ahead of other competitors in the airline industry. Not only has Cathay Pacific set the bar high for Premium Economy passengers, but it is also setting a new standard in customer engagement, demonstrating why it is indeed worthy of its recent designation as the World's Best Airline.
PHILIPPINE AIRLINES PREMIUM ECONOMY SEATS

Meanwhile, Philippine Airlines rolled out its own Premium Economy cabin earlier this year on board its new Airbus A330-300 aircraft. When compared with the identical aircraft used by Cathay Pacific, Philippine Airlines falls short on a number of amenities for Premium Economy passengers. Cathay Pacific offers a 38 inch seat pitch, while Philippine Airlines offers a 34 inch seat pitch. The seat width aboard Cathay Pacific is also wider at 19.5 inches compared to 18 inches offered by PAL.
In terms of in-flight entertainment, Cathay Pacific offers a 10.6 inch personal screen for video on demand with the ability to stream content from your own personal devices, while Philippine Airlines offers a wireless entertainment system with the need for passengers to bring their own personal devices or to rent a tablet from the carrier as there is no built in screen. Overall, the Cathay Pacific Premium Economy experience focuses on the entire end to end experience, while the enhancements aboard Philippine Airlines are primarily limited to on-board features. Although the airfares for Premium Economy offered by Philippine Airlines are likely to be lower, the on-board product certainly reflects why PAL was rated 93 out of 100 carriers around the world and Cathay Pacific was rated number one.

Another thing worth noting is that PAL's 'premium' economy only goes as far as extra legroom. The seat configuration is the same as regular/standard economy.
Even restrictions for rebooking are the same.
In other words, PAL's premium economy is but economy accommodation on CX. Who are they kidding!
economy on cx?? No personal IFE system. bring your own tablet plus minimum charge for using inlfight avod. its not even gonna pass any premium airline economy class. philippine airlines is a joke peroid!

Agile turns into micromanagement as a result of the middle management's resistance to change. Despite better knowledge, changing an organization into a learning one, that embraces experimentation and failure is not in the best interest of everybody. Self-organizing, empowered teams often conflict with the middle management's drive to execute on personals agendas.
On the one side, we are getting increasingly better at understanding what management styles are actually creating value in the era of the knowledge economy. Service leadership, and self-organization as in holacracy, for example.
And we do have an idea, backed by one of the most robust findings in social science, what drives the individual knowledge worker. According to Daniel Pink, lasting motivation in the 21. century is fueled intrinsically by autonomy, mastery and purpose.
On the other side, one of the most promising approaches—agile in its various flavors–has meanwhile gained sort of a tainted reputation. It has become regularly associated less with empowerment and self-organization, but micromanagement.
The idea that agile is bordering on micromanagement is not a new one. Mike Cohn himself suggests that it's the team, that is micromanaging themselves for their own benefit. But he seems to be the only one to utilize the phrase "agile micromanagement" in such a meaning.
You can download a PDF for a quick poll to check the state of agile micromanagement within your organization. Thus, you can determine whether your organization is knowledge worker-friendly or not.
Does your organization suffer from agile Micromanagement? Is your organization engineering friendly? Has your organization succumbed to a 'Cargo Cult' mindset?
The 'State of Agile Checklist' will help you answer all of these questions and provide you with data to spark a discussion.
That went well! Check your email inbox to confirm your subscription to our weekly Food for Agile Thought… and download your free PDF! NOTE: If you do not receive the confirmation email within about 10 seconds, please also check the spam folder. Thank you!
This is also increasingly understood at the CxO level of organizations. Service leadership and agile innovation are either understood as a necessity to stay in business, thus preserving rank & privileges. Or they are regarded as worthwhile experiments, that need to be undertaken anyway to preserve an innovative image. In both ways, they are supporting personal agendas.
Having thought about it at length, I have concluded that people within an organization that is undergoing an Agile adoption typically fall into one of three groups: Agilists, liberals, and conservatives. As in "real life," these groups often clash.
In my understanding, knowledge workers, therefore, don't despise agile per se. They just despise what managers turn the idea of self-organizing teams into in everyday operations. Because they're not leaders. Because they put their own personal agendas above the organization's future success. Because they fail to contribute to evolve an organization's culture to embrace experiments and failure by providing autonomy, mastery, and purpose to their people.
Software is eating the world. Every company with a bright future is nowadays also a software company. All are depending on a great deal on the input from their knowledge workers in an ever-increasing competition. Think Google, Facebook, Uber, Tesla, and Amazon. The majority of them is leadership-driven. Even Microsoft seems to be no longer stuck in the past, pursuing a management concept that worked well in the heydays of General Motors and Taylorism.
So, the question remains: how do we—the knowledge workers—free yourselves from old-school management practices? From managers that are stuck in their socialization by command & control practices?
Thanks for the kudo, Jurriaan!
I love this article, Stefan!
One important step is, to put people above positions.
After a few month in new company new employees always now all about the hierarchy above and below them from a reporting level. They know the names, positions and can infer who earns more and who earns less – pretty much everything you can find on an average CV.
But what they don't know is, who these persons are – what their background and their unique skill set is, who has which ideas and visions for the services and products provided, what hypotheses they're testing or want to test and what they want to learn next and after that.
Companies focus too much on the common ground, on the skills and tools everybody agrees on, on best practices. And they reward those who play the game best with money and the ritual climbing of the ladder. But no matter how diverse your team is, if you go for the lowest common ground, you will never have a team achieving better than average.
This ends up in the classic perform-well-as-to-the-script-get-a-reward learning cycle which will promote the classic managers all over the decision hierarchy. Ironically, it will still be called "flat hierarchy", just because nobody wants to admit to having a 5-tier-pyramid-scheme of decision making.
What should be rewarded is, whenever someone leaves the secure scripted path and goes exploring into the unknown to learn something that is of value for the company to know about. This might not fulfill the expectations of the superiors in power, but it will help the company to keep up with reality and evolve into its next stage.
By now I'm starting to feel that the only way to make this understandable for classic managers would be to create smaller companies within the larger company. Each company has a maximum size of 8 people per team and can decide and act independently. Only directly align with the other companies for strategic and organizational reasons, but no superstructure that makes final calls. And when this works, you lower the maximum team size to 4-6.
That would be a service oriented organization architecture, and it would be so much more flexible – no more emails that are forwarded 5 times. No more complaints about not being invited to the fourth meeting today. And no more people who please their superiors to get the next big piece of cake.
Very interesting and comprehensive article in my opinion, it described organizational culture aspects seen from different angles and touches upon potential, future evolution and competition for talent which are essential milestones on the road for success for any company. In my opinion, management culture can be changed only step by step, by winning their trust and this can happen only when knowledge workers prove their value in concrete manner through innovation, capacity to meet time to market and high quality. I agree with the three dimensions of autonomy, mastery and purpose outlined by Pink and I think they are essential in nurturing intrinsic motivation. However, on the autonomy part, "Autonomy: the desire to direct our own lives, aka: not to be told what to do and how to do it", on the "not to be told what to do", organizations would have a long way ahead, I do not know if it is even possible since there are management offsites everywhere and access to that circle is restricted to middle and top management. The "what" dimension cannot be easily conquered, but the "how to do" part of the autonomy component of intrinsic motivation is quite achievable and progress is seen here already in successful agile implementations. Curious to follow the "what", here there is a lot room for improvement.

The Netherlands-born, Vegas-based DJ tells us where to eat, drink, play, and relax in Sin City.
There's more to Las Vegas than gambling, and who better to recommend things to do in Sin City than Tiësto? The legendary DJ was born in the Netherlands, but has since adopted Las Vegas as his home. We recently caught up with the world-famous beats master at the TomorrowWorld music festival to get his take on the best things to do in Las Vegas.
It's one of the best cities in the world. Vegas, in a nutshell, is basically whatever you could possibly want in your life, whenever you want it. The people are happy, they're there to have fun, there's super service, the nightlife is great, and the restaurants!
Well, if you're with your girlfriend, you have to try this really great Italian spot on top of the Palms, called NOVE. It has a spectacular view of the whole city. If you're with your girl, that's the place to go.
Where do you go for dinner with the guys?
If you want to have a good time with the guys, I would say STK at the Cosmopolitan. The food is delicious, the drinks are excellent, and there's a really, really attractive staff and clientele.
What's your favorite place to perform?
Hakkasan at the MGM. When the developers of the venue were in the planning stages they came to me and said, "we want to build a club for you." They wanted to know how to create a club that made every DJ feel comfortable playing there. And I told them what I thought: make a great DJ booth, bring the people close, make sure everyone has a good view. And they did an amazing job. I mean, it's a big venue—6,000 people—and it still feels intimate.
Where do you go to be a spectator?
I go to the MGM Arena a lot—I saw the Mayweather fight there recently [where Floyd Mayweather defeated Marcos Maidana in a unanimous decision on September 13th]. He's a fabulous defender and the biggest fights are always at the MGM. Also, I know it's good to go out with the ladies to the Britney Spears Show—they love it.
What exciting things are happening in Las Vegas right now?
Downtown Las Vegas is like a whole new world. In the last few years it's changed a lot. It's like the Williamsburg, Brooklyn of Las Vegas—it's more indie and alternative. There's a great bar called Commonwealth that's representative of the scene. And a great restaurant called Le Thai right next door—it's really authentic and really delicious.
Where are your favorite places to get a cocktail?
There are a ton of great options. The Mandarin Oriental: is quite expensive, but it's a really classy place with great cocktails. The restaurant at Hakkasan also has amazing drinks—their signature cocktail is made with ginger and it has a very interesting, delicious taste. Also, there's this spot at the Cosmopolitan called The Chandelier with this really special drink; it's called The Verbena and it comes with a flower that you eat. It opens your taste buds and then you take a sip and the effect is wild. It's a very crazy taste.
What about spots for comfort food?
There's this place called the Peppermill. They've got a really good breakfast. I always get eggs with sausage—well, maybe a little bit of bacon here and there.
Where do you have visitors stay?
There's a really nice part of the MGM that I'd absolutely recommend—I always have my friends and family stay there—called the Skylofts. They have great views of the strip. The food is good. The room is really nice; it's modern, but warm.
How do you get away from the craziness?
I like to go to Lake Mead. You drive twenty minutes to the south, rent a boat, and spend a day on the water. It's chill and you won't really see too many people.
When you're jetlagged and exhausted, where do you go to recharge?
That's easy. I go to the Encore Spa at the Wynn. They have this amazing hot stone massage—it totally gets me in the right frame of mind. And there's so much else you can do there—there are a million great treatments.

Igor Alberto Rinck de Camargo, est un footballeur international belgo-brésilien, né le  à Porto Feliz au Brésil. Il a évolué comme attaquant et représenté la Belgique sur le plan international entre 2009 et 2012.

Biographie

Débuts en Belgique
Igor de Camargo arrive en Belgique en novembre 2000 au KRC Genk, avec lequel il s'engage pour quatre ans. Après une saison avec les espoirs, il est intégré au noyau de l'équipe première mais joue très peu. Il découvre néanmoins la Ligue des champions lors d'un déplacement au Real Madrid (défaite 6-0), entrant au jeu à dix minutes du terme. Barré notamment par Wesley Sonck, Kevin Vandenbergh et Moumouni Dagano, il est prêté en 2003-2004 à Heusden-Zolder, club-satellite du Racing. Il y gagne sa place de titulaire et inscrit dix buts en 33 matches. Grâce à ses bonnes prestations, il reçoit une nouvelle chance en équipe première à Genk la saison suivante mais ne confirme pas. Finalement, il quitte le club en janvier pour rejoindre le FC Brussels.

Dans la capitale, Igor de Camargo retrouve une place dans le onze de base et aide les Bruxellois à se maintenir en première division. Il commence 2005-2006 sur les chapeaux de roues, inscrivant neuf buts en quinze rencontres. En , il est acquis par le Standard de Liège pour un montant d'.

Deux titres avec le Standard
Il est titularisé dès son arrivée chez les « Rouches » et il ne lui faut que deux matches pour inscrire son premier but sous ses nouvelles couleurs. Malheureusement, il se fracture le tibia après cinq rencontres et reste écarté des terrains jusqu'à la mi-octobre. De Camargo retrouve ensuite une place de titulaire et marque quatorze goals toutes compétitions confondues, permettant à son club de terminer à la troisième place du championnat et d'atteindre la finale de la Coupe de Belgique, perdue face au FC Bruges. La saison suivante, il est repositionné comme milieu de terrain offensif axial, derrière le duo d'attaquants composé de Dieumerci Mbokani et Milan Jovanović. Il inscrit tout de même dix buts, aidant son équipe à décrocher un titre de champion de Belgique espéré depuis 25 ans en bord de Meuse. Un an plus tard, il remporte à nouveau les lauriers nationaux après un double test-match contre les rivaux du Sporting Anderlecht, synonymes de qualification directe pour les poules de la Ligue des champions.

Il inscrit son premier but en Ligue des champions lors d'un déplacement à l'Olympiakos, perdu 2-1. Les Liégeois terminent à la troisième place de leur groupe et sont donc reversés en Ligue Europa, dont ils atteignent les quarts de finale grâce notamment à trois goals en six rencontres d'Igor de Camargo. En championnat par contre, les temps sont durs : le club ne parvient pas à se classer dans le top six ni à se qualifier pour une compétition européenne. Le , soit quatre jours après la fin de la saison, il annonce son départ pour Mönchengladbach. Le Standard reçoit une indemnité de  .

Passage en Allemagne
Lors de ses premières semaines en Allemagne, il est le plus souvent réserviste dans un Borussia qui vit une année difficile. Dernier à la mi-championnat, le club accroche in-extremis les barrages pour le maintien, remportés face au VfL Bochum. Igor de Camargo, progressivement devenu titulaire, inscrit le seul goal du match aller et délivre la passe décisive sur l'égalisation au match retour. La saison suivante est bien meilleure pour les Fohlen, qui terminent à la quatrième place, et pour le joueur, rappelé en équipe nationale. En 2012-2013, il perd sa place dans le onze de base et doit se contenter de montées au jeu en fin de rencontre. En janvier, son entraîneur lui signifie qu'il peut partir : il est alors prêté jusqu'en fin de saison au TSG 1899 Hoffenheim, à la lutte pour demeurer en Bundesliga. Il y fera que huit apparitions (pour un seul but). Durant le mercato estival, il est placé sur la liste des transferts par le Borussia Mönchengladbach.

Retour en Belgique, intervalle à Chypre
Après plusieurs jours de négociation, le président du Standard Roland Duchâtelet annonce le  le retour de l'attaquant belgo-brésilien à Liège, pour un montant évalué entre  et . Il signe un contrat de trois ans, avec une option pour une année supplémentaire.

Toutefois, Igor plie bagage en 2015 pour retourner au KRC Genk, club où il commença sa carrière professionnelle. Douze mois plus tard, il s'envole pour Nicosie.

En 2018, il rejoint le KV Malines, participant à l'épopée pour faire remonter le club parmi l'élite et gagnant même la Coupe de Belgique au passage. En coulisse, l'année est par contre très difficile car le Malinwa est poursuivi dans l'opération mains propres du football belge. Devenu joker de luxe en 2021, derrière Hugo Cuypers et Ferdy Druijf, il décide de quitter les Sang et Or. Pour l'anecdote, il a lors de la saison 2020-2021 endossé pour un match le rôle de T2, la majorité du staff étant en quarantaine COVID-19.

En janvier 2022, il s'engage avec le RWD Molenbeek et revient ainsi au stade Edmond Machtens dix-sept ans après l'avoir quitté. Il raccroche les crampons à l'issue de l'exercice.

Équipe nationale
Quelques semaines après avoir obtenu la nationalité belge, il est appelé pour la première fois chez les Diables Rouges de René Vandereycken avec qui il dispute son premier match international le  contre la Slovénie, en tant que titulaire.

 3 fois champion de Belgique en 2002 avec le KRC Genk puis en 2008 et 2009 avec le Standard de Liège

Statistiques

Sélections internationales
De Camargo compte quinze sélections avec l'équipe nationale belge, pour neuf rencontres effectivement jouées. Son dernier match remonte au  face au Monténégro : il a par après encore fait partie du noyau pour cinq autres matches mais n'est pas monté au jeu lors de ceux-ci.

Houthis Ban U.N. Special Envoy From Yemen due to Bias

A top official in Houthi movement said the United Nations Special Envoy for Yemen was banned from returning to the country, accusing him of bias, according to the Houthi's Al Massira TV channel.
Saleh al-Samad, chief of a political council backed by the Houthis who control large areas of Yemen including the capital Sana'a, was also quoted on Twitter as saying that if the U.N. chose another envoy, "he should respect the people's will".
Houthi spokesman Mohammed Abdul-Salam, referring to that tweet, said the U.N.'s envoy, Ismail Ould Cheikh Ahmed, had abandoned his neutrality and did not respect U.N. resolutions.
Abdul-Salam gave no further details and did not say which U.N. resolutions he was referring to. The Houthi's decision comes two weeks after the U.N. urged authorities in Sana'a to investigate a "grave attack" on Ahmed's convoy as it traveled from the airport to the U.N. compound. The Houthi-run Saba news agency denied any such attack.
