Gangland tv show renewed11/5/2023 ![]() When voters went to the polls in New York in 1841, nativist gangs invaded the heavily Irish-Catholic Sixth Ward to engage in what political insiders now call “voter suppression.” Neighborhood residents found themselves confronted by menacing Protestant supremacists who sought to block the election of Catholic-friendly candidates for municipal office. Most recently, sportswriter Mike Lupica suggested that aides to New Jersey Governor Chris Christie have been “running some head-banging 2.0 version of Tammany Hall.” Yet Tammany’s foes were equally enthusiastic about the use of force as a gentle persuader in local politics. Historians and journalists often point to machine politicians like Croker and Tweed as somehow unique in their use of muscle as a form of political power. Hague retained his job and went on to become Jersey City’s mayor from 1917 to 1947. The aide was roughed up - nothing brutal, but he was more than a little shaken. Fearful that the aldermen were about to oust him as a custodian in City Hall, Hague dispatched his version of the Night Wolves to deal with an aide to a particularly irksome alderman. Nobody dared challenge him.Īcross the river in New Jersey, boss Frank Hague made a name for himself in the early 20th century when he delivered a brutal message to opponents on the Jersey City Board of Aldermen. During one election in the late 1860s, Croker cast his vote 17 times. He returned to his work as a city coroner.Ĭroker, a barrel-chested man with a hard stare, was second to none in his devotion to the democratic process. Croker was indicted for the crime but found not guilty. ![]() Shots were fired, and an anti-Tammany Democrat fell, mortally wounded. In the early 1870s, Croker and few friends found themselves engaged in a lively political debate with a group of anti-Tammany Democrats. One of those shoulder-hitters was the young Croker. Tweed recruited an army of toughs, referred to in the press as “shoulder hitters,” to keep an eye on the polls during hotly contested elections. Like Croker, Tweed literally fought his way to power and influence in New York - and saw no reason to change his style once he became a state senator and boss of Tammany Hall. Or perhaps he just is a fan of Martin Scorcese’s great film about American street politics, The Gangs of New York, which showed how intimidation was just another form of political debate before and during the Civil War.Ĭroker was not a character in “Gangs,” but Tweed certainly was. Putin’s relationship today with the 5,000-strong Night Wolves suggests that he is a serious student of U.S. ![]() He went on to become a gang leader - like another Tammany boss, Bill Tweed. Somewhere in the political hereafter, Democratic boss Richard Croker was wondering how much more effective his Tammany Hall enforcers might have been - if only they had motorcycles.Ĭroker ran the Tammany Hall machine in the late 19th century, a man who came to the attention of the party leaders not because of his dynamic personality or his extensive knowledge of the Constitution, but because he beat the daylights out of a legendary street fighter during a neighborhood picnic. Putin, however, is not the first political leader to appreciate the importance of physical intimidation. Would you like to see Ganglands complete or continue its story with season 2? Let us know in the comments down below.Even as Russia was preparing to send troops to Crimea to reclaim the peninsula from Ukraine’s new government, the Night Wolves announced that they would ride to the troubled region to whip up support for their powerful brother and Harley devotee.Ĭlad in leather and sporting their best squint-eyed, make-my-day defiant stares, the Night Wolves had a message for Ukraine’s anti-Russian dissidents: Protest at risk of your health. It left Netflix globally after three years. The movie, directed by Julien Leclercq, serves as the source material for the series. We should also note that the movie The Crew departed Netflix in November 2021. One of the best locations to track the show’s future will be Netflix’s French social accounts.

Lame dog and infection11/5/2023 ![]() The profile of breeds affected by panosteitis is similar to that of those affected by von Willebrand’s disease and individuals with panosteitis often have an abnormality of blood clotting factor VIII, giving additional credence to the proposal that genetic influences play a major part. The disease might have genetic basis, since some breeds of dogs (including GSDs and Bassett hounds) are predisposed to the disease. As the bone is rigid this extra volume of fluid causes compression of blood vessels and to inadequate blood supply to the tissues of the bone, leading to inflammation ![]() The theory is that high protein levels lead to oedema (fluid collection and retention) within the tissues of the medullary cavity. A more recent suggestion is that the disease is related to use of high-protein/ high-calorie commercial diets. Ultimately, as the disease process subsides, this new bone is removed as part of the normal bone remodelling processes and the fatty marrow regenerates. In animals affected with panosteitis, the fat cells of the yellow marrow degenerate, inflammation occurs and this tissue is replaced with fibrous tissue, which in turn is calcified and turned into spongy bone tissue, as osteoblasts, osteoclasts and fibroblasts (fibrous tissue-producing cells) are activated. The disease is usually self-limiting and spontaneously regresses once sexual maturity is reached, although some individuals may be affected up to middle-age. Males seem to be affected more often than females, although either sex can develop panosteitis. Dogs may also be anorexic, lethargic and have a raised body temperature.ĭogs are usually affected between 5 and 14 months of age, but the first symptoms may occur as early as 2 months of age or as late as 18 months of age. The most common bone that is affected is the humerus (upper arm), but panosteitis may also be found in the radius and ulna (the foreleg), the femur (thigh) and/or the tibia (lower rear leg). Considering its nature, it has cycling periods of worsening symptoms followed by periods of improvement. The pain is likely caused by increased pressure within the bone, and/or by stimulation of pain receptors in the periosteum, or outer, soft tissue lining of the bone. ![]() It can occur in any bone which contains significant volumes of bone marrow, long bone shafts being the most common sites.Īffected GSDs will have significant episodes of bone pain, which can be severe, and exhibit as lameness, often described as a “shifting lameness” (lameness first affecting one leg and then another). Panosteitis, a common disease of juvenile dogs, is characterized by inflammation of the fatty bone marrow with subsequent effects on the surrounding bone. ![]() X-rays from the limbs showed a characteristic increase in the density of the affected bones, which made the diagnosis of panosteitis. He showed massive pain on palpation and exertion of pressure on both hind limbs. A 10-month-old black German shepherd dog manifesting shifting lameness and lack of appetite.

Not all triploblastic animals have a coelom, like flatworms, the simplest animals with organs that form from three tissue layers. Organs formed inside a coelom can freely move, grow, and develop independently of the body wall while fluid cushions and protects them from shocks. The formation of a mesoderm led to the formation of a coelom. This key innovation evolved hundreds of millions of years ago and led to the evolution of nearly all large, complex animals. Some of the cells migrating inward to form the endoderm form an additional layer between the other two. Mesoderm forms in the embryos of animals more complex than cnidarians. endocrine glands (including liver and pancreas).brain ( rhombencephalon, mesencephalon and prosencephalon)Ĭells migrating inward along the archenteron form the inner layer of the gastrula, which develops into the endoderm.epithelium of the mouth and nasal cavity.In vertebrates, the ectoderm has three parts: external ectoderm, the neural crest, and neural tube. It emerges first and forms from the outermost of the germ layers. The ectoderm is the start of a tissue that covers the body surfaces. Some of the ectoderm cells (orange) move inward forming the endoderm (red). Gastrulation of a diploblast: The formation of germ layers from a (1) blastula to a (2) gastrula. The appearance of the archenteron marks the onset of gastrulation. In all vertebrates, these are the forerunners of all adult tissues and organs. This early embryonic form undergoes a massive reorganization called gastrulation forming a gastrula with either two or three layers (the germ layers). During the next stage, cleavage, mitotic cell divisions transform the zygote into a tiny ball of cells called a blastula. All animals, except for those in the branch radiata, are triploblastic.įertilization leads to the formation of a zygote. Later, Heinz Christian Pander discovered germ layers while studying chick embryos.Īccording to the number of layers produced, animals are classified as diploblastic (two layers) or triploblastic (three layers). ![]() Germ layers will eventually give rise to all of an animal’s tissues and organs through a process called organogenesis.Ĭaspar Friedrich Wolff observed organization of the early embryo in leaf-like layers. Animals with bilateral symmetry produce a third layer in-between called mesoderm. Animals with radial symmetry, like cnidarians, produce two called ectoderm and endoderm. However, all animals more complex than sponges ( eumetazoans and agnotozoans) produce two or three primary tissue layers (sometimes called primary germ layers). Germ layers are only really pronounced in the vertebrates. All rights reserved.A germ layer is a collection of cells, formed during animal embryogenesis. We will also discuss the potential of emergent organoid systems to emulate and interrogate the dynamics of lineage specification at cellular resolution.Ĭopyright © 2019 Elsevier Ltd. ![]() This review discusses the events associated with mesoderm specification, highlighting the reconstruction of putative developmental trajectories facilitated by recent single-cell 'omic' data. A long-standing question pertains how this panoply of mesodermal cell types arises in a stereotypical fashion in time and space. Cells of mesodermal origin are the most abundant in the human body, representing a great variety of cell types, including the musculoskeletal system (bone, cartilage and muscle), cardiovascular system (heart, blood and blood vessels), as well as the connective tissues found throughout our bodies. The three germ layers - mesoderm, endoderm and ectoderm - constituting the cellular blueprint for the tissues and organs that will form during embryonic development, are specified at gastrulation.
