Guiang, Mariano (1904-1992) Filipino Boxer
Mariano Guiang (1904-1992), a Filipino boxer, emigrated from the Philippines to live in Seattle, arriving at the age of 19 on June 12, 1924. This is a reminiscence excerpted from a longer interview conducted by Carolina Koslosky on September 24, 1976, as part of the Washington State Oral History Project, Washington State Archives, Olympia, Washington.
Excerpts from the Interview
"I came here by steamship, President McKinley. At that time, we landed on what they call Pier 91 now. It was just two piers in there. At that time there was no plane for coming from the Philippines. I was 19.
"[I came from] Norte, Ilocas Norte. I was raised –- my mother died while I was 7 years old –- we were lucky enough to be raised by our aunt. And when I went with my father to Manila, you know, when I went back from vacation, my aunt told me, 'All your friends are gone to America now, I think you better be going.' I didn't want it, I didn't want it. They finally convince me but they doubt if I wanted to come, see, because, you know, I refuse at first. Then my sister came with me to Manila and see [that] I really came. I didn't, in my mind, I was not willing to come. But they finally convinced me to come.
"I had my uncle [in Seattle], you know, Pedro Guiang, he got his doctorate of education I think in here, in the University of Washington. He was here then. He came here in 1918. I arrived at his apartment, see. But he was staying with somebody else, you know, so I went to a hotel in Chinatown, Panama Hotel.
"It was hard, the Depression was on at that time. I was lucky enough I arrived on June and July, I went to Alaska, see, for two months. And then when we came back we ... I didn't have no work again, so I ... went to Franklin High School. But I didn't stay very long again because it was very hard. You couldn't even find a schoolboy's work at that time, see. So I quit again and finally I drifted to going to boxing shows, you know.
Boxing Through Washington
"Every Friday they had boxing shows by 9th and Olive at that time. That's what they called the Austin and Bishop Gymnasium at that time. So I go there every Friday, they had a show. In fact, I was going while I was going to Franklin High School. Just to watch.
"But it was a funny thing that came up, you know, one guy named Ray Woods was beating everybody in his size, you know. One night I went over there and they asked me if I could fight. 'Sure, I could fight.' And they put me over him. And at that time I was not in very good shape, see, but I was strong because I was an athlete, I was a track man in Franklin High School. It's hard to believe. So, they put the gloves on, and said 'Are you going to fight?' I was not never scared or anything. I was never nervous, even the doctor, 'How come your heart never even, you know, vary in its beat?' Why should I? It's just a game to me, a sport, I should say. We fought over there but he got the decision. But that's how I got started.
"We boxed around Seattle, Everett, Mount Vernon, Yakima, and Wenatchee and Klamathe Falls, Oregon and so on. [I started] somewhere around 1927, '26, '27, yeah, I think it was '26. My name at that time was Young Marino. [The crowds] like Filipinos at that time because they were so many good Filipino fighters. They like me, they, in fact, I fought several good fights, but not money-wise, you know, I fought many men in Wenatchee. In fact, in 1931 I fought the champion of Eastern Canada and Toronto, Canadian, Territory of Alaska at that time. Bantam and Feather Weight. I fought mostly feather-weight. Sometimes, I even fought 129 pounders and I use to weigh 114 to 15. But I had to fight sometimes to live at that time. It was very hard, but what we can get, we could get something to eat and wash our clothes.
"They were quite a few [Filipino boxers], there's Clarence Corpuz, he was one of them. Johnny, Johnny, I forgot his name, he's a cook now … but there were quite a few Filipino boys before, but none of them took it ... really serious like I did. I tried to learn because I didn't want to get beat.
"It's the opportunity that got me into [teaching] boxing, you know, when I got with the Navy, back in Bremerton –- in Bremerton I didn't have nothing to do then. But when they transfer you to Pier 91, that is the time when I really taught boxing. That was Korean War, 1949, when I started teaching boxing. As a boxer, I quit in 1933.
Father Fighter
"I promise that when my son is born, that when I could go no place, I quit boxing then. I fought the same night he was born ... So, well since I was a champion of Alaska, they book me to fight in Ketchikan, Alaska. But since my son was born, I wanted them to send me some money, you know, advance some money, so I could leave them. They said, you come over here, we'll fix you. I said, No you're not going to fix me. So I give the ticket and accommodation to another Filipino boy that use to fight. They were surprise, you know, they had a band that meet him, they were surprised that was not me.
"When my son was eight years old, we was living over there in Greenwood and they had, they started a Greenwood Boys Club over there at that time … I think it was during the war, Japan war. So Dick Francisco was looking for me because my son said, 'My father was a fighter.' So he came to the house. 'Well, I like to help but I'm working, you know how it is at Bremerton. I started so early dark and I arrive here dark, I can't help you.' 'Well, I just wondered because your son is a natural fighter.' But after the war, just until 1944 … they transfer me to Pier 91 and that time, I met a colored boy and he ask me to train him. Freddy Brown. I know these kids because they were running around with my son then. 'Well, you come to the house with your mother and we'll talk.'
"So I trained him and he became good. And at that time they started, that was 1950, yeah, during the Korean War then. They have that KING's RING in television. Then I had so many boys that was winning all the time. I used to train, you know, we train them at the Professional Gymnasium, see over there by Fourth and Wall Street, that use to be a big K-Mart at one time.
"I exercise every morning. Me and my wife, I make my wife exercise too. It's doing her good. To tell the truth, my wife is my sister-in-law.
"She was the wife of my youngest brother that got killed during the Japanese war. But he was a member of the U.S. armed forces then. So, she was receiving pension when I married her. But when I married her it stopped. But when I first went over there [Mr. Guiang returned to the Philippines in '67, '71, and '74] I never think that we are going to ... When my first wife died, I saw her over there then, well, 'How do you like to come to the states?' I said. Well she refuse at first but then … of course she got a sister you know, Mrs. Domingo Aurelia. That's her sister. So, she said 'I'll come see my sister.' Well, she came and she finally consented that she was going to marry me. It was alright, she's very nice, we get along fine. Well, I consider myself lucky ... I'm fair with people, see.
So, that's my life here in America.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Princeton Review®, known for its college rankings in dozens of categories based on how students rate their schools, is now expanding its coverage of business school programs. Today, the company is releasing the 2018 annual ranking lists of business schools. Available on the company's website, The Princeton Review reports the top 10 ranking schools in 18 categories of interest to students applying to on-campus MBA programs. In addition, the company is announcing the result of its 3rd annual ranking of the top 25 online MBA programs for 2018. The lists are available at www.princetonreview.com/best-business-schools along with FAQs about the basis for each ranking and the company's detailed profiles of the schools.
"We want to offer students a truly robust resource to find information about business school programs," said Robert Franek, Editor-in-Chief, The Princeton Review. "Students who came to us for help selecting their college can now find equally comprehensive information on our website about choosing a business school program. We want students to be aware that on-campus and online MBA programs have different strengths and they can use that information to find the best business school for their interests."
"Top business schools now offer online MBAs, and employers do see them as credible and valuable," added Mr. Franek. "For working professionals unable to move to a 'brick and mortar' campus for an MBA, these schools offer an opportunity to learn from some of the world's best business school professors and earn their degree from anywhere in the world."
How Do On-Campus MBA Students and Online MBA Students Differ?
Age of student population: On-campus students are younger; the average age is 28 while the average age of online MBA students is 34.
Work experience: On-campus MBA students average 5 years of work experience; online MBA students average 11 years.
Starting salary: The average starting salary for students at top on-campus MBA programs is $115,000 vs. $107,000 for students at top online MBA programs.
On The Princeton Review website (www.princetonreview.com/best-business-schools), students can find detailed profiles of the business schools, which include admission, academics, financial aid, campus life and career/employment information. In addition to the profiles and the rankings, the site includes helpful business school advice articles about taking the GMAT, crafting a stellar MBA application, and finding a program best tailored to your goals.
"Our purpose is not to rank schools hierarchically or crown any school as 'best' overall. Our goal is to provide school profiles combined with multiple rating scores and ranking lists to help applicants choose the best business school for them," added Mr. Franek. "Their program offerings vary considerably, and we salute and highlight those distinctions in our profiles."
The Princeton Review's ranking list tallies factor in data from its surveys of business school students completed during the 2016-17, 2015-16, and 2014-15 school years. The survey (completed at http://survey.review.com) asks students about their school's academics, student body, and campus life, and their career plans. On average, 86 students at each business school were surveyed for the 2018 lists. All institutional data used to tally these ranking lists was collected in 2016-2017. The school profiles of the 267 business schools include school ratings (scores from 60-99) in five categories based primarily on institutional data. Among them are rating scores for "Admissions Selectivity" and Career statistics, which factor in data on graduates' starting salaries and employment. A description of the methodology is at www.princetonreview.com/business-school-rankings/ranking-methodology.
The Princeton Review chose the schools based on its surveys in 2016-2017 of more than 75 business schools offering online MBAs (at which a majority of their program was online), plus surveys of over 4,700 students enrolled in the programs. Survey methodology and criteria for this ranking was based on input from business school content editors at The Princeton Review as well as an advisory board of administrators at several of the nation's leading online MBA programs. The criteria focused on five core areas: academics, selectivity, faculty, technical platforms, and career outcomes. Data points were weighted in more than 60 unique fields to determine the final ranking. A description of the methodology is at www.princetonreview.com/business-school-rankings/ranking-methodology.
The Princeton Review is a leading tutoring, test prep and college admission services company. Every year, it helps millions of college- and graduate school-bound students achieve their education and career goals through online and in person courses delivered by a network of more than 4,000 teachers and tutors, online resources, and its more than 150 print and digital books published by Penguin Random House.

An annual late summer afternoon picnic at the Dunsmuir Hellman Historic Estate in Oakland, CA, held by the Art Deco Society of California (ADSC).
It took a lot of work to create this historically accurate vintage picnic; I have a newfound respect for housewives of the 1920s. If you are not lucky enough to have a real vintage tin-lined wicker basket to carry it all in, our picnic fit nicely into our basket from Bed Bath & Beyond, which looks vintage on the outside but has insulation through the inside. We actually had more than enough food for three people and forgot about the kale salad completely until we got home. Which means I can invite even more people to picnic with us next year!

Stena Line ferry held in Liverpool overnight after six crew members test positive for COVID-19

Watch: Passengers disembark from Stena Line ferry held in Birkenhead
A Stena Line ferry was held overnight in Liverpool on Tuesday after six crew members tested positive for COVID-19.
The ship, which was filled with 322 passengers and 55 crew, was prevented from travelling to Belfast on Tuesday night.
Video released online showed passengers being let off the ferry at Birkenhead on Wednesday morning. They were due to be transferred to a different vessel.
None of the crew members who tested positive are customer-facing so passengers will not need to be tested, but all crew members will receive PCR tests, Stena Line confirmed.
In total, 15 close contacts of the crew members who tested positive have been told to self-isolate.

Passenger Alan Cogan said the atmosphere was tense when they were told at 3.30am they would not be moving.
They had been due to depart more than five hours earlier.
He told the BBC: "I know there were a few irate people this morning.
"We all had visions of what had happened to the cruise ships around the world when passengers had tested positive and were left stranded and not allowed off.
"That would be a nightmare. It's not the most comfortable boat."
A Stena Line spokesperson said on Wednesday: "Stena Line can confirm that six members of the crew of the Stena Edda have tested positive for COVID-19 last night.
"In line with our safety protocols we alerted the Port Health Authorities, who advised us to hold the vessel in Birkenhead as a precaution.
"322 passengers and 53 crew are onboard. The six crew members who tested positive for COVID-19 are being cared for and are doing well, with only mild symptoms. 15 close contacts have been identified and are self-isolating.
"Stena Line is liaising closely with public health authorities on this matter who have advised us that we should disembark the vessel in Birkenhead.
"The welfare of our passengers and crew is paramount at this time. The passengers are being catered for and we will assist them with alternative travel arrangements."

Health Surveillance in relation to occupational vibration exposure

Employers have a legal obligation to reduce the risk to their employees from exposure to hand-arm vibration to as low as reasonably practicable. In this video, Teli Chinelis discusses how employers can do this in relation to health surveillance.
Employers have a legal obligation to reduce the risk to their employees from exposure to hand-arm vibration to as low as reasonably practicable. It is recognised, however, that there may be situations where exposure to hand-arm vibration at potentially harmful levels is sometimes necessary, and there is no effective personal protective equipment.
It is therefore essential that employees at risk are included in an appropriate health surveillance programme for HAVS and other conditions, such as carpal tunnel syndrome that are associated with work involving vibration exposure.
This allows the condition to be identified in the early stages, so that action can be taken to prevent progression to an advanced stage in which the symptoms are severe and disabling.
In addition, employees should be given HAVS awareness training and relevant information, ideally with refresher training at appropriate intervals. Employees must be encouraged to report any relevant symptoms.
The regulations require health surveillance to be provided for employees whose vibration exposures are likely to reach or exceed the exposure action value on more than just rare occasions, or who is otherwise identified as being at risk, for example, if they have existing HAVS or other vascular or nerve disorders affecting the hands.
The Health and Safety Executive recognises the potential cost of health surveillance and has recommended a 'tiered approach' in which routine (e.g. annual) screening of individuals, and screening on first employment, is done using a questionnaire; if the responses indicate the need, the individual is referred for a structured interview with a qualified person, such as an occupational health nurse.
If this assessment suggests that the employee has HAVS, the individual will be referred to a doctor for a formal diagnosis and the doctor may, if required, refer the person for standardised tests to assist in the diagnosis.
All but the largest employers generally employ an external occupational health service provider to manage their health surveillance programme.
Where an individual has been diagnosed with HAVS or another relevant condition, the employer should receive information on the diagnosis subject to the employee's agreement and on their fitness to continue working with vibrating tools.
The occupational health service provider may make recommendations for reducing a person's vibration exposure, in which case the employer will need to pay particular attention to the allocation of that person's work ensuring a real reduction in exposure, and may, if necessary, recommend removal from further exposure.
If you would like further information in relation to health surveillance on occupational vibration then please contact Finch Consulting and we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

HSE Enforcement Action on Hand-Arm Vibration and the Role of Expert Evidence
The HSE has successfully prosecuted at least 37 employers since 2010 for failing to control risks from exposure to hand-arm vibration. Expert evidence can be useful not only in defending guilt but also for mitigation and to persuade the Court to adopt a lower offence category when applying the Sentencing Guideline. In this article, Finch Consulting's Dr Chris Nelson discusses how, even where there has been a breach of the law, by instructing a suitable expert, a defendant may be able to reduce the fine by an amount potentially many times the cost of the expert evidence.
Hand-arm vibration Inspection and Enforcement guidance: What will the HSE Inspector be looking for?
Have you ever wondered what would happen if a Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Inspector turned up at your site to look at how you manage hand-arm vibration? Well, wonder no more, because the HSE publishes its Operational Guidance on its website. Sue Hewitt and Dr Chris Nelson take a look at a few points in the guidance that are worth being aware of when it comes to managing hand-arm vibration.


Extreme shape synthesis. Minimalism, exclusivity and an eye for detail. The "Postsparkasse" series was designed in 1906 by Otto Wagner for the headquarters of the Post Office Savings Bank in Vienna, and represents a clear expression of modern Viennese art.

Capitol Hill's early reviews for Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg on Capitol Hill on Monday. Photo: Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call
Lawmakers who met with Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg on Monday said they found him "personable" and "forthright" but still expect to have plenty of questions for him when he testifies this week.
Why it matters: Tomorrow is a big test for Zuckerberg, who has never appeared before Congress, and for lawmakers, who have never engaged this publicly with the issues plaguing Facebook and other online platforms.
What they're saying:
"I thought he was personable and I get the sense that he gets it," said Senate Commerce Committee Chairman John Thune (R). "I think he realizes that they've got a lot of explaining to do and I think he's anxious to take it head on."
Thune said that lawmakers were weighing regulation — noting at one point that Europe is about to implement strict new privacy rules — but indicated they were still gathering information.
Thune's Democratic counterpart, Sen. Bill Nelson, said at a press conference that Zuckerberg had struck him as "forthright."
"But I think particularly the message that I wanted to convey to him [was] that if we don't rein in the misuse of social media, none of us are going to have any privacy anymore," Nelson said.
Others were more tight-lipped about their meetings. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley (R) said the purpose of the meeting was "just to go over the process" with the Facebook CEO.
What's next: Zuckerberg goes before a joint Senate Commerce and Judiciary hearing on Tuesday afternoon, and the House Energy and Commerce Committee on Wednesday morning.

Eagles vs. Redskins: 5 matchups to watch
By Jimmy Kempski
Eagles NFL
In Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season, the Philadelphia Eagles broke a five-game losing streak to the Washington Redskins, beating them on the road, 30-17. In that game, the Eagles won a number of keys matchups.
Here are five matchups to watch six weeks later:
MORE ON THE EAGLES
Carson Wentz is now the favorite to win NFL MVP
Eagles power ranking roundup after Week 6
NFC Hierarchy/Obituary: Bears are dead
Eagles reportedly worked out some linebackers
1) DE Brandon Graham and DT Fletcher Cox vs. RT Morgan Moses and RG Brandon Scherff
In the first matchup this season, Graham absolutely owned Moses all day long, collecting two sacks, 3.5 tackles for loss, and two additional hits on the quarterback. Those stats don't even tell the whole story of how badly Graham dominated Moses, which we showed in gif form after that game.
Similarly, Cox got the best of Scherff that afternoon, as he chipped in a sack, a tackle for loss, a pair of hits on the quarterback, and the game-sealing fumble recovery that he returned for a touchdown. Here's Graham and Cox both destroying their blocks on that play:
"I think the Redskins have a fine offensive line," said Jim Schwartz. "It's going to be one of our biggest challenges. I think where our success came was in those last couple drives when we really could pin our ears back. That game was tight throughout the game, and all of a sudden those last couple drives we could really get back and pin our ears back and be able to rush, and I think you saw some of those things particularly with Brandon."
Moses and Scherff are good players, and have both played much better since Week 1.
2) The Redskins' depth at corner vs. the Eagles' receivers
In the Week 1 matchup, Josh Norman followed Alshon Jeffrey all over the field, and held him to 3 catches for 38 yards on 7 targets. This time around, Norman likely won't play (though that's not a certainty), as he fractured a rib Week 4 against the Chiefs.
Additionally, the Redskins could be without their other starting corner Bashaud Breeland, who sprained his knee Week 6 against the 49ers.
"I always anticipate the best players are going to play," said Frank Reich. "You always know what the adjustments are. You have to have your answers. We talked about this before: there's, quote-unquote, answer sheets to what they do schematically. There's answer sheets to what you do personnel wise and how you take advantage of certain things."
If Norman and/or Breeland can't go, they'll have to rely on Quinton Dunbar, Kendall Fuller, Fabian Moreau, and Joshua Hosley to cover Jeffery, Torrey Smith, Nelson Agholor, and Mack Hollins. In that event, you may see Doug Pederson try to spread the Redskins' defense out with some more empty backfield sets than normal.
3) The Redskins' rushing offense vs. the Eagles' run defense
In the first matchup, the Eagles shut down the Redskins' rushing attack, as their backs carried the ball 13 times for 34 yards. (Kirk Cousins had 30 yards on 4 scrambles.)
Meanwhile, Cousins threw 40 times that day. That is a pass:run ratio that is not ideal. Since then, the Redskins have run it much better, as they are now 10th in the NFL, with 122.8 rushing yards per game. The Redskins have also found more balance offensively, as they have run it on 47.3 percent of their snaps this season, which is the fifth-highest run percentage in the NFL.
Meanwhile, the Eagles have the best run defense in the NFL, as they allow just 65.7 rushing yards per game.
The Redskins, as well as Kirk Cousins, are in a much better comfort zone offensively when they are running the ball effectively, like any other offense.
"We let the quarterback loose a few too many times in quarterback scrambles and designed runs," said Schwartz. "We haven't been exactly top-notch on those. But it's part of what we want to do. If you can get the run stopped, that allows you to rush, and we're a rush team. So you can't put the cart before the horse, chicken before the egg, whatever analogy that is, you can't rush the quarterback if the offense has confidence in being able to run the ball."
While the Skins do not have a top every down type of running back, their offensive line is a great run blocking group. The challenge for the Eagles will be to continue their run stopping excellence and make the Redskins' offense one-dimensional.
4) RB Chris Thompson vs. the Eagles' linebackers
Here are the Redskins' leading receivers so far this season:
Redskins receiving leaders Rec Yards YPC TD
Chris Thompson 18 340 18.9 2
Vernon Davis 11 225 20.5 1
Terrelle Pryor 16 209 13.1 1
Ryan Grant 13 158 12.2 2
Jordan Reed 18 142 7.9 0
Jamison Crowder 17 121 7.1 0
Josh Doctson 4 90 22.5 2
While the Redskins' receivers – and TE Jordan Reed – have been major disappointments, Thompson has picked up the slack, and then some, catching passes out of the backfield and making plays with the ball in his hands. An 18.9-yards-per catch average from the running back position is nuts.
"This week with Thompson, he's playing at a ridiculous level, and a lot of that is coming from run after the catch," said Schwartz. "He did it to us in the opener."
This is what Schwartz is referring to:
Thompson is also the Redskins' leading rusher, by the way. He's certainly not a workhorse by any stretch, but he has 36 carries for 175 yards (4.9 YPC) and 2 TDs.
5) OLB Ryan Kerrigan vs. RT Lane Johnson
Johnson suffered a concussion Week 5 against the Cardinals and missed the Eagles' Thursday night win against the Panthers in Carolina. He has since passed through the concussion protocol, and has been cleared to play.
Kerrigan has killed the Eagles over the years. In 10 career games heading into this season, Kerrigan had 9 sacks and 5 forced fumbles against Philly. Last season, Kerrigan feasted on rookie (at the time) Halapoulivaati Vaitai in his starting debut, and then later Matt Tobin.
In Week 1 against the Eagles, Johnson kept Kerrigan in check, though he did register a half sack. While he was comparatively quiet rushing the passer, Kerrigan still managed to make a huge play, when he picked off Carson Wentz on a deflection and returned it for a touchdown.
In the first four weeks, Johnson faced Kerrigan, Justin Houston, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Joey Bosa. As usual, he'll have yet another tough matchup in Kerrigan once again Monday night.

It,s a beautiful day, weather conditions are finally suitable. We are opening a window in the studio and walking out on to the roof. Right away we are on a cloud, distanced from everyday life. Fascinating silence and at the same time noisy town below us. In a short while, we tune our breath with the town. We see into the cafes and stores, we see the roofs and people, to whom they belong. We hear the steps and suddenly someone laughs..we dive into the atmosphere of the streets.
We enter to the one of the most popular cafes of Trnava. Coffee, please. The moment of relax we exchange for an instant search of a snapshot. Minutes that seemed so long pass faster. Shortly, the café gets more alive with people coming in. The doors keeps opening and closing. In between the words and the clinks of cups we are searching for an atmosphere of this place.
Elegant hats of new brand Alate milinery highlight women,s beauty. It was a pleasure for us to take pictures and spend a day in such a fine company.

Desus & Mero Reveal Viceland Cut Their Contracts 2 Months Early: They undervalued us.
Desus & Mero Reveal Viceland Cut Their Contracts Two Months Early: They undervalued us.
Desus and Mero recently left Viceland and are taking their talents to Showtime, home to Lena Waithe's A Platform where they are expected to have a larger budget, better content, and more laughs. The "Bodega Boys" tell Bossip that they were hypothetically tied to their contract with Viceland. After the network discovered they would be taking their talents to Showtime, they prematurely let the duo go two months before their contracts were up. Desus briefly says,
Vice has us for 2 more months….we did not leave Vice, Vice ended our contract. They were in their feelings because we were leaving.
He continued,
We could still be doing the show, and it bothers me because now people are tagging us like 'do this, do this, what would your reactions be for this?' and I'm like, 'yo wow, what would my reaction be?'
Pour one out for the boys.
A post shared by DESUS & MERO (@desusandmero) on Jun 29, 2018 at 1:42pm PDT
Desus and Mero brought more than just a new format and pizzazz to Viceland; their show was the only show with sustainable ratings. Reportedly, over a five month (Sept. 2017-Feb. 2018) period, the network only garnered 106,000 viewers, ahead of their ratings from a year before by 10.4%.
Desus confessed,
We were carrying that network on our back, and we felt the weight. They were talking about, 'do not take the weeks off because we don't get ratings,' and it's like, yo, we're just two people.
To add pressure, the network also wanted to order the comedy pair to release 160 episodes a year. Desus spoke about the details of that request by stating,
We have no writers, it's literally me and Mero talking to one another every day. If you want us to do this for 160 episodes, pay us 160 million dollars—otherwise we would have killed each other.
The channel wanted us to die for this f**king network. We're also the highest rated show on the network, put some respect on our name, have someone come massage my feet.
A post shared by DESUS & MERO (@desusandmero) on Jun 22, 2018 at 12:16pm PDT
Mero intervened with his thoughts of the tight demands,
We were literally the LeBron [James] of that network. As a dad, you wanna be around for milestones for like graduations, birthdays…and it's obnoxious to have to be like, 'I can't go to my kid's graduation because we leave the studio at 3 o'clock and the graduation is at 4.'
He elaborated,
And we are not divas, we're flexible dudes. They kinda undervalued us a little bit.
With a larger budget, Desus and Mero have larger plans for their show. With Showtime being a premium channel, many would contact cable providers to add the movie package or download Showtime's app and sign up for a mobile subscription of "$5.99.
Mero spoke about the downside of viewers having to pay for their content,
It's not like we ran off on the plug. The very fact that we're going to Showtime means that the show is going to get bigger and better. It's gonna be on a bigger scale, bigger budget, more exposure, more likeliness to win a f**king Emmy.
Desus also added,
every time someone complains about the price, I think of myself. It doesn't bother us, it's just when people are negative and like, 'yo, you guys sold out.' You're still gonna get the show you want, and it's gonna be like $5.99. Relax.
They both stress their "Bodega Hive" has nothing to worry about, it's still going to be the same guys, just on a different network. Desus confidently stated,
Bodega Hive is something very personal to us…we cannot just sh*t on this f**king fanbase.
Their goal for their new milestone is simple. They comedy group want to do a good job while increasing their audience at the same time. Desus simply stated,
We're just trying to give people as much content as possible. It's no longer like Adam Sandler where you can get 30 years and make terrible movies. You gotta be hot and stay hot for at least 5 years. There was a quote from Taylor Swift, 'if you do three years that's lucky, if you do five years that's a career.' We're
going on our fifth year. We have the game in the palm of our hands right now…networks want that.

George Hadjipanayis received the B.Sc. degree in Physics from the University of Athens (1969), and the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from the University of Manitoba (Canada), in 1974 and 1979, respectively. Prof. Hadjipanayis was an assistant professor (1982-1985) and associate professor (1986-1988) in the Department of Physics at Kansas State University. In 1989 he joined the faculty of the University of Delaware as a full professor. In 1998, Prof. Hadjipanayis was a Humboldt Senior Fellow at the Max Planck institute (Stuttgart, Germany). In 1999, he assumed the position of Richard B. Murray Distinguished Professor of Physics and Astronomy and since 2003 has been the Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Delaware. He has been recognized for seminal advances in scholarship with the Francis Alison Award (2005) and by elevation to Fellow of the American Physical Society (2001). Prof. Hadjipanayis' areas of interest span hard magnetic materials with a focus on high performance permanent magnets and magnetic nanoparticles for storage media and biomedical applications. He has published more than 500 technical articles in peer-reviewed science and engineering journals, including book chapters, review articles, and invited technical feature articles on the topical areas of rare earth magnetism, nanotechnology, and permanent magnet materials, among others.
In this presentation, I will review the research achievements in our collaboration program with the University of Nebraska on the synthesis and characterization of novel magnetic nanoparticles and clusters. Our particles program spans a wide range of interests from basic studies to technological applications that include permanent magnets, high density recording media and biomedicine. One of our major objectives is the control of nanometer-length-scale and crystal structure to synthesize novel materials with high magnetization, large magnetocrystalline anisotropy and high ordering temperatures using non-equilibrium fabrication techniques.
In the past few years, our work has been focused on the following materials i) nanoparticles with properties drastically different from bulk made by cluster beam deposition (Co2Ge, MnSi, CoSi, Co3Si), ii) low temperature chemical synthesis of the high anisotropy L10 structures (FePt(Bi) and CoPt(Bi)) for magnetic recording media and most recently iii) Fe3O4-Au clusters for biomedical applications.
