Max Changmin: "The reason why I married her? I just feel that she is the one"
tuleconghoa12 weeks agoLast Updated: January 6, 2022
Singer Max Chang-min expressed his affection for his wife.
JTBC's "Bistro Shigor," which aired on Jan 6th, showed the members going on a trip to pick apples, which is a specialty of Yanggu. The members who picked apples then drive to the restaurant to present a new menu.
Cha In-pyo, who wanted to host the show, asked Jo Se-ho a surprising question, "Have you ever had a blind date? Any thoughts on dating?"
Jo Se-ho answered, "I have to, but I don't have one. They'll appear soon somehow," he said bitterly.
Cha In-pyo then asked Max Chang-min, who recently got married, about his wife, "Did the thought of getting married just come to you immediately?"
Chang-min said, "As I talked to her, I got the feeling that she is the one," he said sweetly. Max Chang-min married his non-celebrity girlfriend in 2020.
In addition, when Cha In-pyo jokingly told Lee Jang-woo, "Jang-woo, for the ratings, let's…" Lee Jang-woo cut in, "The weather is nice," drawing laughter.

It's A 5G Land Of Confusion: AT&T And Verizon Muddy The Waters
Smartphone / By Will Townsend
5G, or Fifth Generation, is the next iteration of wireless telecommunications promising to deliver unbelievable speed to your mobile phone or connected device as well as support more devices, improve reliability, and deliver longer battery life. Published in March of this year, the new 5G Radio standard was set by the governing body 3GPP or 3rd Generation Partnership Project.
Carriers and service providers around the world are jumping into the 5G pool—with some I believe muddying those waters with pre-announcements, trials and misleading nomenclatures.
AT&T's "5G Evolution"
AT&T recently announced a limited market rollout of its "5G Evolution" service, but the name is misleading. The AT&T offering is based on a standard called "LTE Advanced Pro" or what is commonly referred to as "Gigabit LTE". The underlying network deployment is a derivative of 4G. T-Mobile in particular took AT&T to task recently calling its service "Fake 5G".
Shortly after the AT&T announcement, one of my analyst colleagues attempted to verify "5G Evolution" network speeds in Austin, Texas. AT&T provided one of the only two devices supported (the Samsung Galaxy 8 and S8 Plus) for testing, and the performance was far below the gigabit threshold, around 120-140Mbps, as the carrier cautioned it might. In fact, it was along the same lines of T-Mobile's LTE Advanced Pro network performance in the same geography. To be fair, AT&T did say initial speeds wouldn't be gigabit and committed those by the end of 2017. We're looking forward to re-running those tests.
Unfortunately, it's not the first-time AT&T has taken liberty with misleading service positioning. With its previous 4G network rollout, AT&T delivered an HSPA+ based solution considered by most other carriers and 3GPP standards to be an enhanced 3G service well in advance of 4G network readiness.
Verizon's 5GTF and "Fixed 5G"
Verizon Communications announced a pilot roll out of a "pre-commercial" 5G service through 11 markets across the US starting this summer. The technology is based on its own proprietary "5GTF" company specification that claims up to 1 Gbps in bandwidth operation. This pre-5G standard has existed for some time before AT&T's announcement and is not based on the 3GPP 5G official standard.
Verizon has also been promoting "Fixed 5G" or what is commonly referred to as 5G Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) as a replacement for traditional wireline broadband in the home. The proof-of-concept was showcased at the most recent Mobile World Congress event in Barcelona earlier this year. Verizon has positioned it as a "stepping stone" to widespread 5G deployment, which is not expected until 2019 at the soonest given the recently updated 3GPP timeline. 5G FWA will be the basis for Verizon's test deployment and won't provide uniform coverage but rather "hot spot" access. As with AT&T's recent announcement, this falls short of what true 5G will deliver.
A Land of Confusion
The carriers do a disservice when they allow their marketing teams to position trials and tests as next generation wireless infrastructure deployment. I keep thinking of the song "Land of Confusion" by Genesis. Wouldn't that be a great theme for these carrier's commercials promoting pre-5G tests and deployments! Bottom line AT&T and Verizon: let's call it what it is and stop confusing the market!


In this video I show how to make a Boho-chic floor lamp, a lantern, a wallet and a pencil case, a storage box and a folk wall art. Every project is super easy, cheap and fun to make.
With these projects you can make a total room makeover. Just hang a shawl on the wall, put rugs and pillows on the floor and feel the style of free art!
I start with a DIY Bohemian Lantern.
You will need 4 photo frames (10×15 cm), permanent markers (red, green and blue), super glue (or E-600) and white parchment paper (baking paper). Just 10 minutes and you'll have an absolutely amazing Bohemian lantern for candles.
The next project – DIY Boho Floor Lamp.
I show how to make a floor lamp from base to lampshade. Everything is made of regular materials which are easy to find (maybe even at home). For this Boho-chic floor lamp I used: a broom, 4 wooden hangers, 2 wooden rulers, old curtain and 2 embroidery hoops. Super easy, super fast and looks just stunning.
You will need a canvas (20×20 cm), acrylic paint, some glue (hot glue or super glue) and 3 small pieces of velcro. Paint the canvas just as you like. I made it abstract with hippie style drawings.
Next project – DIY Wall Art.
It looks like a dream catcher, because I wanted to make it folk, but with gold (which makes it boho) and with artificial paper feathers (which make it cruelty-free hippie). You know that decorative natural feathers are taken not from the ground… So let's respect every creature on Earth and make beautiful paper feathers without harming any bird.
For this project you will need the wooden frame from previous project (the wooden frame for canvas), jute twine, thumb tacks (gold), paper and some glue.
And the fifth DIY is a Bohemian style Storage Box.
For this useful thing you will need a fruit box (there are many of them thrown away at the farmers' markets. Or you can ask for an old useless fruit box at the super market and take it for free), some fabric (I used an old curtain, which I've already up-cycled for a floor lamp), thumb tacks (gold) and acrylic paint.

[![Javadoc](https://www.javadoc.io/badge/org.zalando/riptide-failsafe.svg)](http://www.javadoc.io/doc/org.zalando/riptide-failsafe)
[![Maven Central](https://img.shields.io/maven-central/v/org.zalando/riptide-failsafe.svg)](https://maven-badges.herokuapp.com/maven-central/org.zalando/riptide-failsafe)

*Riptide: Failsafe* adds [Failsafe](https://github.com/jhalterman/failsafe) support to *Riptide*. It offers retries
and a circuit breaker to every remote call.

## Example

```java
Http.builder()
    .plugin(new FailsafePlugin()
        .withPolicy(circuitBreaker)
        .withPolicy(new RetryRequestPolicy(retryPolicy)))
    .build();
```

## Features

- seamlessly integrates Riptide with Failsafe

## Dependencies

- Java 8
- Riptide Core
- Failsafe

## Installation

Add the following dependency to your project:

```xml
<dependency>
    <groupId>org.zalando</groupId>
    <artifactId>riptide-failsafe</artifactId>
    <version>${riptide.version}</version>
</dependency>
```

## Configuration

The failsafe plugin will not perform retries nor apply circuit breakers unless they were explicitly configured:

```java
Http.builder()
    .plugin(new FailsafePlugin()
        .withPolicy(
            new RetryRequestPolicy(
                new RetryPolicy<ClientHttpResponse>()
                   .withDelay(Duration.ofMillis(25))
                   .withDelay(new RetryAfterDelayFunction(clock))
                   .withMaxRetries(4))
                .withListener(myRetryListener))
        .withPolicy(
            new CircuitBreaker<ClientHttpResponse>()
                .withFailureThreshold(3, 10)
                .withSuccessThreshold(5)
                .withDelay(Duration.ofMinutes(1)))
    .build();
```

Please visit the [Failsafe readme](https://github.com/jhalterman/failsafe#readme) in order to see possible configurations.

### Retries

**Beware** when using `retryOn` to retry conditionally on certain exception types.
You'll need to register `RetryException` in order for the `retry()` route to work:

```java
new RetryPolicy<ClientHttpResponse>()
    .handle(SocketTimeoutException.class)
    .handle(RetryException.class);
```

Failsafe supports dynamically computed delays using a custom function.

Riptide: Failsafe offers implementations that understand:
- [`Retry-After` (RFC 7231, section 7.1.3)](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-7.1.3)
- [`X-RateLimit-Reset` (RESTful API Guidelines)](https://opensource.zalando.com/restful-api-guidelines/#153)

```java
Http.builder()
    .plugin(new FailsafePlugin()
        .withPolicy(new RetryPolicy<ClientHttpResponse>()
            .withDelay(composite(
                new RetryAfterDelayFunction(clock),
                new RateLimitResetDelayFunction(clock)
            ))
            .withMaxDuration(Duration.ofSeconds(5))))
    .build();
```

:warning: Make sure you you specify a **max duration** otherwise any value coming from a server that is further ahead in the future will make your retry block practically forever.

Make sure you **check out
[zalando/failsafe-actuator](https://github.com/zalando/failsafe-actuator)** for a seamless integration of
Failsafe and Spring Boot.

### Backup Requests

The `BackupRequest` policy implements the [*backup request*][abstract] pattern, also known as [*hedged requests*][article]:

```java
Http.builder()
    .plugin(new FailsafePlugin()
        .withPolicy(new BackupRequest(1, SECONDS)))
    .build();
```

## Usage

Given the failsafe plugin was configured as shown in the last section: A regular call like the following will now be
retried up to 4 times if the server did not respond within the socket timeout.

```java
http.get("/users/me")
    .dispatch(series(),
        on(SUCCESSFUL).call(User.class, this::greet),
        anySeries().call(problemHandling()))
```

Handling certain technical issues automatically, like socket timeouts, is quite useful.
But there might be cases where the server did respond, but the response indicates something that is worth
retrying, e.g. a `409 Conflict` or a `503 Service Unavailable`. Use the predefined `retry` route that comes with the
failsafe plugin:

```java
http.get("/users/me")
    .dispatch(series(),
        on(SUCCESSFUL).call(User.class, this::greet),
        on(CLIENT_ERROR).dispatch(status(),
            on(CONFLICT).call(retry())),
        on(SERVER_ERROR).dispatch(status(),
            on(SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE).call(retry())),
        anySeries().call(problemHandling()))
```

### Safe and Idempotent methods

Only [safe](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.2.1) and [idempontent](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7231#section-4.2.2)
methods are retried by default. The following request methods can be detected:

- Standard HTTP method
- [HTTP method override](https://opensocial.github.io/spec/2.5.1/Core-API-Server.xml#rfc.section.2.1.1.19)
- [Conditional Requests](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7232)
- [`Idempotency-Key` header](https://stripe.com/docs/api#idempotent_requests)

You also have the option to declare any request to be `idempotent` by setting the respective request attribute. This is
useful in situation where none of the options are above would detect it but based on the contract of the API you may know
that a certain operation is in fact idempotent.

```java
http.post("/subscriptions/{id}/cursors", subscriptionId)
    .attribute(MethodDetector.IDEMPOTENT, true)
    .header("X-Nakadi-StreamId", streamId)
    .body(cursors)
    .dispatch(series(),
        on(SUCCESSFUL).call(pass()),
        anySeries().call(problemHandling()))
```

In case those options are insufficient you may specify your own method detector:

```java
Http.builder()
    .plugin(new FailsafePlugin(ImmutableList.of(retryPolicy))
        .withIdempontentMethodDetector(new CustomIdempotentMethodDetector()))
    .build();
```

FluentData is a new introduction to the micro-ORM family that aims to be more straightforward to use than full ORMs. Introduced this month, it uses a fluent API and supports SQL Server, SQL Azure, Oracle, and MySQL.
The existing ORMs frameworks on the market such as Entity Framework and NHibernate are overly complex and difficult to learn. The generated SQL from those frameworks are poor due their own abstracted query language and mapping from the database to .NET objects is difficult.
FluentData takes a different approach by being a lightweight framework with a simple fluent API that is easy to learn.
Similar to other micro-ORMS, such as Dapper and Massive, FluentData focuses on performance and ease of use, and allows developers to have greater control of SQL rather than relying on the ORM to generate it automatically. It uses SQL to perform selects, inserts, and updates, and also supports the use of stored procedures and transactions. According to the documentation, it can work with any business objects without changes to the existing structure.
FluentData requires .NET 4.0, and supports SQL Server, SQL Azure, SQL Server Compact, and Oracle and MySQL using .NET drivers. For further information, code samples and a free download, visit FluentData on CodePlex.
Build one if you want..
Re: Build one if you want..
Why does everyone want to build their own Micro-ORM? And that too with very little difference? Why not just build-on/extend existing ones?
Choice is good, but too much choice is bad.
I don't think there are too many choices around when it comes to Micro ORMs. Sure there are some but most of them are based on different concepts and APIs, e.g. Massive vs FluentData. And take into account that the Micro ORM concept is still unknown to most developers. They are either using a full blown ORM (and failing) or ADO.NET. So I still think there are room for more Micro ORMs.
FluentData is built on top ADO.NET so it's not reinventing the wheel but rather making it more optimized. It takes the very best from ADO.NET and adds a nice fluent API with some extra features to make it easier and more efficient to use.
Appreciate the effort Lars, but is it different from Dapper?
I haven't used Dapper but from what I've seen its a set of non-fluent extension methods for the DbConnection class, which for instance forces you to manage the connection state by yourself. FluentData on the other hand provides a tight fluent API, it manages the connection state for you by opening and closing the connection at the right time also during exceptions. Compared to most other ORMs (not sure about dapper) FluentData supports custom collections, so you can either have the query methods to return a List<Product> or your own ProductCollection. If you have some complex business objects then the creation of these can be customized by overriding the Entity Factory. FluentData also supports builders, so for select queries you want to use SQL since this the best and most optimized query language around. But for insert, update and delete you can use builders to generate the SQL in a fluent and convenient way through the support of automapping from the entity type etc.
I used various ORM's like Opf3, Sequel, EF 4, DBEntry, and FluentData is exciting to learn thanks for share and FluentData is MIT license :P. Another approach is easy to learn. There is no Sqlite or Postgresql or yes? But choise is really good. Greetings to all.
I like the fact that FluentData actually focusses on binding and not on trying to masquerade SQL. This really seems like something that actually improves productivity.
"I haven't used Dapper but from what I've seen its a set of non-fluent extension methods for the DbConnection class, which for instance forces you to manage the connection state by yourself"
Managing the connection state yourself can be a good thing. This allows people to implement their own connection life cycle mechanisms (pre post processing logic, connection reuse etc). Also, something like Dapper.net integrates with standard infrastructure like system.transactions TransactionScope.
Sqllite and Postgresql are currently not supported, but I might add them if there is a demand for it.
When it comes right down to it, a thin wrapper you right yourself is probably going to be better than any pre-packaged ORM, normal or micro. Just like DI frameworks, we are going to keep seeing these pop-up as people try to generalize solutions to inherently application-specific problems.
... but stop the revisionist history.
I can't speak for EF, but NHibernate came from Hibernate. Hibernate started out simple. But it grew because people would say "it can't do X" and the authors realized that the Relational and Object worlds were different and thus the mapping between the two IS complex.
Having used both EF and NHibernate, they are not that tough to use. Although EF can be a pain sometimes because it didn't learn from EJB1/2. The generated SQL is not bad. The issues come in to play when people don't realize that there is a RDMBS, not an ODBMS.
For the record, you CAN use a fluent type API with NHibernate. Having used SQL and HQL for years now, I cannot see how plain SQL can support complex object queries. And that is what you run into when translating objects to tables.
Also, both EF and NH support LINQ so your queries are not in Strings. Not sure if FD supports that, but the examples saw used Strings.
Mark, I think its a mistake to abstract away from SQL. It adds alot of of uneeded complexity and forces a heavy feature set for any ORM doing it, and it makes the learning curve steep. For instance there is a book on Entity Framework thats 832 pages long while most Micro ORMs have a single wiki page, and they have the same end result - execute a query and allow for mapping between db data to object or object to db data.
Mapping - Mapping from a database to an object oriented structure and vice versa is simple. Just use a simple auto mapper that handles the 1:1 cases, and take a manual approach for the rest through a concrete-not-abstracted-away mapping method. This creates a simple but solid solution that is easy to maintain and extend. And time wise I would say it saves time to take the simple approach cause you don't need to deal with and work around all the constraints that the ORM frameworks forces on you.
"but stop the revisionist history. I can't speak for EF, but NHibernate came from Hibernate. Hibernate started out simple. But it grew because people would say it can't do X"
- if you don't abstract away from SQL then the feature set you need is pretty limited.
Well xmldatamapper.codeplex.com is similar from the perspective of not generating any Sql for you, it supports stored procedure and adds the feature to define your database fields mapping to the DTO fields in XML.

Ed Ocampo (Pampanga, 5 oktober 1938 – 29 juli 1992) was een Filipijns basketbalspeler en -coach.

Biografie
Ed Ocampo werd geboren op 5 oktober 1938 in de Filipijnse provincie Pampanga. Hij was een van vier kinderen van architect Fernando Ocampo en Lourdes Magdangal. Tijdens zijn middelbareschooltijd probeerde Ocampo om voor het jeugd-basketbalteam van de Ateneo de Manila University geselecteerd te worden. Hij werd echter afgewezen wegens zijn geringe lengte. Het voetbalteam haalde hij daarop echter wel. In dat team was hij redelijk succesvol. Ocampo werd op 17-jarige leeftijd geselecteerd voor het Filipijns voetbalelftal dat in 1956 meedeed aan wedstrijden in Zuid-Korea en Spanje. Een blessure maakte echter een voortijdig einde aan zijn voetbalcarrière. Na zijn herstel slaagde hij er in 1957 wel in om geselecteerd te worden voor de Ateneo Blue Eagles. In 1957 en het daaropvolgende jaar won hij als aanvoerder van dat team de universiteitscompetitie NCAA .

Na zijn afstuderen in 1959 speelde hij van 1960 tot en met het seizoen 1974 voor de YCO Painters in de MICAA, de belangrijkste Filipijnse basketbalcompetitie van de tijd. In 1960 veroverde hij met het team het kampioenschap. In 1974 beëindigde Ocampo zijn loopbaan als speler om verder te gaan als coach van de YCO Painters. Na drie jaar gewerkt te hebben als coach van YCO stapte hij in 1979 over naar de Philippine Basketball Association (PBA). In deze professionele competitie was hij coach van de Royal Tru-Orange, de Toyota Tamaraws en de Pepsi Hotshots. Met Royal Tru-Orange won hij in 1979 de PBA Open. Deze prestatie herhaalde hij in 1981 en 1982 met Toyota. In dat laatste jaar won hij bovendien met zijn team de Reinforced Filipino Conference.

Van 1959 tot 1972 maakte Ocampo regelmatig deel uit van het Filipijns nationaal basketbalteam. In 1960 won Ocampo met de Filipijnen de Aziatische Spelen in Manilla. later herhaalde hij deze prestatie met het nationaal team bij de edities van 1963 (Taipei) en in 1967 (Seoul). Bij de edities van 1965 (Taipei) en 1971 (Tokio) won hij met de Filipijnen zilver en in 1969 (Bangkok) werd een bronzen medaille behaald. Ocampo was met het Filipijns team ook driemaal deelnemer van de Olympische Spelen: de Olympische Spelen van 1960 in Rome, de Olympische Spelen van 1968 in Mexico en de Olympische Spelen van 1972 in München.

Ocampo overleed in 1992 op 53-jarige leeftijd. Hij was getrouwd met Maria Lourdes Trinidad.

Q: Setting an image source via Javascript unreliable in Internet Explorer I am simply trying to change the SRC attribute of an image via javascript like so:
document.getElementById('fooImage').src = img;

Where img is a variable that has a link to the file.
In all other browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari) this works.  In IE (7+) this also works too sometimes.
Using IE's built-in developer tools, I can see that the image's SRC tag is set.  Is there something else in the locals window that could help me debug why the image doesn't actually show on screen?
I've also tried using jQuery to do this and same outcome:
$("#fooImage").attr("src", img);

An ideas?

A: In debugging this I would hard code it first...
document.getElementById('fooImage').src = "myimage.png";

I've used the following in my website and it works like this...
var imgCounter = document.getElementById('formtimer');
imgCounter.src = "graphics/odometers/1.png";

Some other things to check:

*

*Make sure your ID= tag is not in the <DIV section but inside the <IMG section...  for example
.  If `id='someid' is in the div tag then you can't change the picture / the picture won't show up.

*are you using window.onload?, body onload?  the proper way to use the first is..
 window.onload = function () { YourFunctionHere(); };

*Try a different test image.  I had issues in the past with showing png's, I changed it to a gif or jpg and it worked.  I don't understand how that was "way back" but it doesn't seem to be an issue anymore but hey... something to try.

*try a full url

*using https?

*try sticking the image somewhere else in your program and see what happens.

*try adding this to your HTML (put your website in place of mine - lookup BASE href on google for more info)
<BASE href="http://perrycs/" />

*Make sure the image isn't hidden behind a layer (I know it works in some browsers)

*tell us the website so we can check it out and get more info to help you in debugging this, seeing context (surrounding code) helps...

A: Given that it works in other browsers, searching on this topic it seems that often the problem is how IE caches images (ref. Epascarello's comment).  Your code is the same as what I have - it works fine except in IE10.

A: I too, faced this conundrum. Then discovered that it works in 'Page Inspector', so after some digging discovered that (in Internet Explorer) by going to Tools.Internet Options.Advanced
uncheck the 'Disable script debugging (Internet Explorer)' and the one below it.

A: I found that with IE9 after changing an image.src with
var strVar="C:Users/x/Desktop/caution.png"
image.src=strVar

and calling an alert(image.src) I would get something like this n the alertbox:

file:///C:Users/x/Desktop/"C:Users/x/Desktop/caution.png"

So I tried
image.src=strVar.replace(/\"/g,"")
to remove qoutemarks
and it worked!
alert(image.src)

file:///C:Users/x/Desktop/caution.png

Industry Dev: AgRi-Silience Program /
Policy Area: Industry training & development /
AgRi-Silience has potential to change your business
South Australian livestock and broadacre producers can learn how to improve their business's economic, environmental and social resilience and adapt to adverse events thanks to a successful farm resilience program continuing in 2022-23.
Applications are open for AgRi-Silience, which is a part of the Farm Business Resilience program, jointly funded through the Australian Government's Future Drought Fund and the Government of South Australia, delivered by Livestock SA.
Livestock SA CEO Travis Tobin said AgRi-Silience is open to all South Australian livestock and broadacre producers and aims to build more resilient producers and businesses.
"Livestock SA has engaged Coo-ee Collective to provide tailored learning through small group workshops and connect producers with specialist consultants," he said.
"The workshops are a mix of one-on-one business advisory and group learning to help producers develop Resilience Roadmaps for their farm business.
"These Roadmaps consider natural resource management, informed decision making, business management, planning, personal circumstances and social pressures to help producers to build long-term resilience and boost productivity, profitability and sustainability."
Ellen Arney, Strathalbyn, participated in the first round of AgRi-Silience and said the program provided an opportunity for her to become more aware of different aspects of her business and gave her certainty for the future.
"As a result of participating in AgRi-Silience, I have found taking the time to reflect on our business, where our strengths are and where we can improve has been very worthwhile," she said.
"Personally, having the space to share and ask questions in a comfortable environment with like-minded people has given me the confidence and tools to discuss our business situation, set goals and have more clarity and certainty around our future."
Each participating business is required to contribute $500 (ex. GST) and, where appropriate, will be able to access a contribution for travel and childcare costs from Livestock SA.
To maximise the benefits of the program, it is recommended two members of a farm business attend the training. Additional participants are welcome, subject to demand, but will need to pay for the full cost of the program.

Water Polo in Portugal: Extensive Insights with National Coach Fernando Leite
We sat down with Fernando Leite, Portugal's water polo head coach, to talk about water polo in Portugal and around the globe. Find out what he had to say about the hottest topics from the water polo world in his extensive interview with Total Waterpolo.
Portuguese head coach Fernando Leite (right) with Spain's head coach David Martín (left)
Let's start with you – Where are you from?
I'm from Porto, Portugal.
How and when did you pick up water polo?
It all started with my parents. They were, and still are, big supporters of mine. When I was young they taught me how to swim. By the age of 10, I finished the swimming school in Clube Fluvial Portuense and started playing water polo there.
My first big connection to the water polo world was Rui Moreira who assembled great players during that time.
What were your achievements as a player?
Honestly, I personally was never a very good player. But while playing water polo, I had many opportunities to learn. I played in Fluvial as a junior, and later in Salgueiros on a senior level. In those clubs, I had the pleasure of meeting my lifetime friends and learn from them.
In Salgueiros, I was trained by Nuno Mariani for ten years. He is a coach with more than 12 consecutive titles in national championships.
Apart from Nuno Mariani, Lajos Lorincz — the national head coach — taught me the fundamentals of water polo.
When did you start coaching?
I started coaching 24 years ago when I was 18 years old. Since then, I have been trying to understand the coaching process and I'm still learning to this day.
So you have been gathering experience for a long time. When did you take over the national team?
In March of 2016, the president of the FPN (Portuguese Water Polo Federation), António Silva, invited me to the national team. I was to be the head coach for the seniors and younger national team, and also to assist in the implementation of the strategic plan for the Portuguese Federation. Our job was to develop a roadmap for water polo in Portugal.
What would you say was your biggest success to date?
Definitely being coach of the national team. It is a very responsible and honored position for every coach, especially for someone who comes from the country in which he coaches.
Besides my coaching career, I'm proud of my family. My wife Joana and daughter Sara are my great success and one of the biggest supporters on my journey.
Water Polo in Portugal
The state of water polo in regards to financial challenges is often discussed. How do clubs in Portugal finance themselves?
Shortly, with a lot of improvising and strict budget control. Clubs in Portugal try hard to "keep their heads above water" and manage those budgets in order to keep sustained growth.
Do they get any financial help from the government or local state communities?
To some degree. Local governments and communities essentially help in providing space to play and train.
What about sponsors?
There are only a few sponsors, but they are good. That's a field in which we can develop. Acril Sports is an example of a Portuguese brand that wants to be a part of the water polo world.
How well is water polo covered in media in comparison to other sports?
Not too well, but I think it's the fault of the people in water polo world. Today we have many technological tools. We have to be more persistent with the media.
What could be improved in the future?
There are quite a few things that need improvement:
Mechanisms to operate long-term projects with consistency.
More education for the stockholders.
Increasing the numbers of professional agents.
Keeping the new players interested — there is a great loss of potentially good players between the swimming schools and the aquatic competitive disciplines.
More recruitment in the water polo process.
Coaches at must teach the fundamentals of water polo from a beginners level.
A clearer focus on water polo as a brand.
Are there any beach water polo or 3v3 tournaments in Portugal?
Portugal is an Atlantic coastline country. We have many beautiful places to play beach polo. Last summer, River Polo Amarante and Académica Coimbra Beach Polo hosted events. And these are just two examples of what we'll see in future.
Apart from that, Algarve and the islands Madeira and Azores have fantastic conditions to practice beach polo.
Water Polo in Portugal (First League)
How many clubs/registered players are active in Portugal across all leagues?
There are 25 clubs in 19 different cities in all leagues and age groups. Together, they consist of around 1200 players.
Water polo is, in general, more concentrated on the north, around Porto. In the south, it's popular around Lisbon. We have excellent infrastructures (indoor and outdoor), all around the country.
Let's talk about the First Portuguese League organization. How many clubs are there, how many games are played and in which period?
There are nine clubs: CF Portuense, CN Povoense, SSCM Paredes, Sporting CP, Vitoria SC, CDU Porto, Cascais WPC, SAlgésD and AA Coimbra.
The season starts in September with the Supercup and the Championship. The first phase begins in October and lasts until April. The second phase is played until June.
Which team is currently the best in your league and why?
The best team at the moment is Clube Fluvial Portuense. They were champions twice in last two years and they are first in this year's championship. For us, this is the second year in which we are participating in the Champions League and managing to win a game.
You mentioned that the financial state of water polo is currently not so great. What are the salaries for the first league players in Portugal?
Mostly, the players don't get any salaries, but clubs arrange a way to facilitate employment or they give other benefits.
We have two players playing outside — Moreira in Denmark and Inês Braga in Italy. They are important to us since they share special experience in good water polo leagues with better structure and budgets.
What about the Portuguese female league?
There are seven teams: SL Benfica, CF Portuense, Gondomar C, Lousada, CA Pacence and Paredes. In general, the league is similar to men's.
Youth Divisions in Portuguese Water Polo
How is the competition for youth divisions organized?
Youth divisions' competitions are organized at the national level for clubs under 12, under 14, under 16, under 18 and under 20. The first phase is a regional one and the finals are national.
We have six regional water polo associations with the goal to make championships regular for regional teams in the ages below 16 and below 14.
Do you have any specific rules for children such as no 5m penalty shots and a smaller ball?
Yes. In the U-12 and U-14 teams, boys and girls play together. The U-16 format has no 5m penalty shots and the ball is smaller.
I think the rules must be adapted constantly, well explained to everyone as well as discussed and evaluated.
How often do children train?
Some clubs have very good schedules because they understand they have to train more to be better. On the other hand, there are clubs that don't train as much as they should. This is partly due to the problem of having no pools to train in.
Do these clubs attend to international friendly tournaments?
They do and they attend the "ANNorteP Madrid" tournament for teams under 14, the "CN Povoense Be Water my Friend" and a tournament in Seville for teams under 16. Cascais WPC trains with KSI, CA Pacence participates in tournaments in Croatia and Switzerland, Portinado in tournaments and training camps in Andaluzia. We have good relations with our Spanish neighbors regarding water polo.
Next July, we have a great opportunity for the "Habawaba" in Barcelona.
Portugal has excellent conditions to host competitive training camps, friendly tournaments, and official competitions – though they must be developed first.
Can you name some young Portuguese talents that could have international careers in the future?
We have a lot of talented players who still need to work hard to follow their dreams. I'll name some of them: Carlos, Ramos, Salvador; Manuel, Nuno, Ramalheira, Leonardo, Carneiro.
What are your biggest achievements on the national level?
The greatest achievement is maintaining the national team. With commitment and dedication, we have a lot of space for improving our national water polo training quality.
As for the big achievements, Portugal participated in the Olympic Games in 1952 with the Hungarian coach Emeric Sacz and in European B Championship in 2004 with Nuno Lobo as the head coach.
What is your review of 2017?
We won two tournaments in Loulé and won the fifth place in Szczecin. We had two training camps in Barcelona organized through BIWPA and played training games there. Also, we won the second place in the qualifying tournament in Rio Maior, maintaining our place among the top 20 teams in Europe.
53 players (juniors and seniors) and 11 coaches played in 21 pools. As for the media, we have had eight television reports on our National Team. We are constantly promoting water polo across the country.
What are your plans for 2018?
Mainly to maintain and increase our training quality for the challenging games ahead of us. We played against Slovakia on the 24th of February in Portugal, and on the 3rd of March in Slovakia for the European Championship in Barcelona.
We need to develop a plan for our younger teams and get the players ready for the regional level games. Our technical directors — Ivo from AN Lisboa and João Pedro from ANNORTEP — are developing a structured project. We need this kind of work to become more frequent.
What are your biggest challenges in managing the national team?
To change the state of mind — we need to focus on training and high performance.
For me, it is a pleasure to work with athletes and I am proud to see myself as the national coach of Portugal. The challenges we face are positive, the players are motivated and the club coaches are of great help in the process of building the national team.
In my opinion, to build a national team, you need money, structure, and players. The vice president of water polo in Portugal, Jorge Cruz helps a lot. The federation has a long-term development plan for water polo.
Who are your best players currently?
The goalkeepers Nicolai and Silva, the center backs Costa and João, centers in the wings Ricardo and Salvador. Of course, there are Teixeira, Moreira, Pedro, Max, Ramos, Miguel and Parati.
Water Polo in General
Do you have a coaching role model?
For me, it's important that you stay true to your words. To be a role model, one has to be honest and have ethics for his team to follow since there are team rules, athletic codes, and rules of water polo.
Our senior national advisers and national coaches Ana Silva, Diogo Ferraz, Ricardo Pereira, the team manager Ricardo Monteiro, the juniors advisers and national coaches Sofian Andrade e João Machado and also Miguel Pires, Portuguese Water Polo technical director are all very important in the structure.
Here are some of my believes in coaching fundamentals:
Almost everything is possible.
Commit to continuous improvement.
Understand where water polo has been, where is it now and, most importantly, visualize where it is going.
Be confident, unique and have the energy to work hard consistently.
Strength and courage cannot be compromised.
Communicate clearly.
Understand who you are, value what motivates you.
Have a passion for winning. It is important to have the desire to be the best, the capacity to preserve and persist and will to fight hard no matter what obstacles you face.
If you could pick one international player to play for Portugal, who would you choose?
A difficult question to answer, especially since my players would love to play with big stars. I can name some of the top players. In my opinion, the best in 2017 are Sandro Sukno, Andrija Prlainović, Andro Bušlje, Xavi Garcia, Mário Bijac, Viktor Nagy, Francesco Di Fulvio, Luca Lončar, Ioannis Fountoulis, Felipe Perrone, Denes Varga, Marton Vamos, Kristian Manhercz and Duško Pijetlović.
Which team (club or national) plays the best water polo in your opinion?
As a national team, Croatia had a great season last year. I liked the way the play. Hungary and Serbia are strong too. Italy, Greece, and Spain are the countries that are doing well and are focused on getting even better.
As a club, I would say Szolnok. The Hungarian league is very strong. The Italian league maintains high standards. Croatia, Spain and Greece are well-organized leagues, just like France and Germany. Water Polo powerhouses like Pro Recco, Barceloneta, Olympiacos, Dynamo, Jug, Brescia, Spandau, Jadran, Eger are well-structured teams.
Partizan has produced more talents in recent years than any other team. They are a good team for creating big stars.
In your opinion, what can be done to make water polo more popular on a global scale?
Change the sport's model. Water polo, at its core, is difficult to grasp. Let's make it simple to understand.
Also, there is the problem with communication. We need to reach more people, and to do so, we need to find new participants.
Water polo is an Olympic sport and that is something important. It achieved a lot throughout its history and tradition to be an institutionalized and regulated sport. It has a number of highly skilled people from a wide variety of professions. They can all be mobilized and oriented towards water polo.
To support the growth of the sport, we must make it more visible and enjoyable. Because of its low media reach, water polo attracts only a small number of sponsors – we have to change that.
Also, water polo has only a few federal associations and clubs worldwide — their structure is very important. Competitions must be open to more countries. Long-term development programs and events need to be available to all, not just the elite.
We have to increase educational material such as books, manuals, and videos because water polo needs to enter the technological era. Along with that, we need coaching education programs and opportunities for them to make a career. Organizations such as World Water Polo Coaches Association must have a voice in the decision-making process.
We would like to thank Fernando Leite for having an interview with us. For all the latest news in water polo world, as well as other interviews, be sure to follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
