Primary and Secondary research

http://www.nhs.uk/conditions/cancer/pages/introduction.aspx

Bone tumors may be classified as "primary tumors", which originate in bone or from bone-derived cells and tissues, and "secondary tumors" which originate in other sites and spread (metastasize) to the skeleton. Carcinomas of the prostate, breasts, lungs, thyroid, and kidneys are the carcinomas that most commonly metastasize to bone. Secondary malignant bone tumors are estimated to be 50 to 100 times as common as primary bone cancers.
Primary bone tumors

Primary tumors of bone can be divided into benign tumors and cancers. Common benign bone tumors may be neoplastic, developmental, traumatic, infectious, or inflammatory in etiology. Some benign tumors are not true neoplasms, but rather, represent hamartomas, namely the osteochondroma. The most common locations for many primary tumors, both benign and malignant include the distal femur and proximal tibia (around the knee joint).

Examples of benign bone tumors include osteoma, osteoid osteoma, osteochondroma, osteoblastoma, enchondroma, giant cell tumor of bone, aneurysmal bone cyst, and fibrous dysplasia of bone.

Malignant primary bone tumors include osteosarcoma, chondrosarcoma, Ewing's sarcoma, fibrosarcoma, and other types.

While malignant fibrous histiocytoma (MFH) - now generally called "pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma" - primary in bone is known to occur occasionally, current paradigms tend to consider MFH a "wastebasket" diagnosis, and the current trend is toward using specialized studies (i.e. genetic and immunohistochemical tests) to classify these undifferentiated tumors into other tumor classes. Multiple myeloma is a hematologic cancer, originating in the bone marrow, which also frequently presents as one or more bone lesions.

Germ cell tumors, including teratoma, often present and originate in the midline of the sacrum, coccyx, or both. These sacrococcygeal teratomas are often relatively amenable to treatment.

Cancer is a group of diseases involving abnormal cell growth with the potential to invade or spread to other parts of the body. Not all tumors are cancerous; benign tumors do not spread to other parts of the body. Possible signs and symptoms include a lump, abnormal bleeding, prolonged cough, unexplained weight loss and a change in bowel movements. While these symptoms may indicate cancer, they may have other causes. Over 100 types of cancers affect humans.


Tobacco use is the cause of about 22% of cancer deaths. Another 10% is due to obesity, poor diet, lack of physical activity, and excessive drinking of alcohol. Other factors include certain infections, exposure to ionizing radiation and environmental pollutants. In the developing world nearly 20% of cancers are due to infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis Cand human papillomavirus infection. These factors act, at least partly, by changing the genesof a cell. Typically many genetic changes are required before cancer develops.Approximately 5–10% of cancers are due to inherited genetic defects from a person's parents. Cancer can be detected by certain signs and symptoms or screening tests. It is then typically further investigated by medical imaging and confirmed by biopsy.

Total deaths from cancer in the UK alone estimated to 163,444 in 2014 with 46% of death being a result of common cancers

In 2012 a estimate of 14.1 million cases of cancer worldwide with a total of 8.2 million deaths, 33% of cancer cases were linked to the exposure to tobacco.
The four most common cancers occurring worldwide are lung, female breast, bowel and prostate cancer. These four account for around 4 in 10 of all cancers diagnosed worldwide.
Lung cancer is the most common cancer in men worldwide. More than 1 in 10 of all cancers diagnosed in men are lung cancers.
Lung, breast and bowel (including anus), stomach and prostate cancers have been amongst the most commonly diagnosed worldwide since 1975.
Worldwide, almost 32.5 million people diagnosed with cancer within the five years previously were alive at the end of 2012 (estimated).
An estimated 169.3 million years of healthy life were lost globally because of cancer in 2008.
Worldwide there will be 23.6 million new cases of cancer each year by 2030 (estimated).
Incidence rates in the UK are lower than in the European Union in males, but higher in females.
Incidence rates in the UK are lower than in the More Developed Regions of the world in males, but higher in females. For both sexes, rates in the UK are higher than in the Less Developed Regions of the world.

A cancer diagnosis affects everyone differently, so there are no set rules about how you’re likely to feel, or how you should deal with your emotions.

But, it is common to experience:
sadness
fear about the future
anger
guilt
denial
confusion
stress
anxiety
depression

“Some people get very angry, some are very tearful, most are extremely anxious and worried,” says Fide.

If you think you may be depressed, it’s important to speak to your doctor. Symptoms of depression include lasting feelings of sadness, losing interest in the things you used to enjoy, feeling constantly tired, having difficulty getting to sleep, loss of appetite and feeling that life is not worth living.

Proposal and ideas

For my 3 minute wonder i decided to do how cancer affects people who aren't the victim such as friends, families etc. My granddad past away from cancer so me and my family plus out friends of family all have things to saw in how it had effected them and how they coped with his passing.
Documentary Mini-Task

to create a documentary is must involve pictures and interviews from people involved in a real life event to that it shows factual report on a topic. 
an Expository documentary is a form of documentary which speaks directly to the audience through either a voice over or titles. these types of documentaries are aimed towards exposing a person or topic. an Example of this is Blue Planet as throughout the show David  Attenborough voice overs what is being seen on the screen and explains what is happening.
Another type of documentary is Interactive documentaries, these types of documentaries uses interviewees aswell as interacting with the audience. an example of this is Professor Brian Cox Lecture on the universe as Brian Cox is seen talking to an audience about how the universe is created. 
Reflexive documentary is another style that can be used. This documentary focuses on the film maker being a part of the film itself helping towards the narrative of the film. a good example of this is Louis and the Nazis in which Louis travels to america to meet and question american citizens who are apart of the Nazi movement. throughout the film Louis in present making him a play a large part in the documentary.

An Introduction to the News

I watched Look East Tuesday 20th October 2009. the stories they covered was 50 years of BBC Look East, Ian Masters and the weather forecast shown in this order.

the two presenters were Stewart White (73) and Susie Flower-Watt (48). The roles of these news presenters are to present the current news that is happening within the eastern side of England.

The certain types of skills a newsreader need are being able to understand his surrounding easily (able to tell what is happening around him) have good speech skills such as being able to talk clearly  and be understandable

The term news new ordering  means: Topic, order, number and length.

Place the story, which you think is the most important, at the top of the running order
 Think about the stories they need or want to know about
You could place a lighter story, or a weather report, at the end of the running order
 Where possible, group stories together Include a mixture of interesting stories, some local, national and international news
Think about putting someone in charge to make the final decisions Be flexible and prepared to alter the running order as the news changes

The ability of to think and act quickly while reporting the news in very much required as anything can  throughout the day so being able to analyse sudden events and be able to fluently and clearly say what is happening.

Bias through selection and omission
There was a debate about possible changes to student loan program. Fox news need not cover it. They ignored the vote in the house in which Republicans blocked the bill.
The left side of the media gave it covered it on the front page
a comparison of two news articles about Ted Cruz running for president in 2016 and in one of the news articles it includes a statement that states "Members of his party have called him names like "fraud" and wacko bird".

Bias through placement
During the 1989-1990 abortion rallies the Washington post published a 15 column space of the "pro-abortion" with several stories and articles while only 2 columns was about "pro-life"
both issues were equally as big.

Bias through headlines
People are more attracted to more larger titles and images. the title will also attract people who are affected by said news.







Bias through shot selection and camera angles.
Pictures can make people look good,bad,silly etc. and these photos can heavily influence the public opinion on the person the photo is of




Bias through names and captions
The first headline is simply stating the facts and what is happening with no bias. the second headline has been changed to make it seem like the schools are teaching something negative to people. it is clearly biased after you see the actual headline.










Bias through use of language
Biased language insults the person or group to which it is applied. In denigrating others, biased language creates division and separation. in using biased language about races and ethnic or cultural groups, speakers and writers risk alienating members of those groups, thus undermining the communication and shared understanding language should promote.

Music Video - Planning and Research

My chosen track will be Don Broco - Stay Ignorant The meaning of this song is quite simple which is to party and enjoy your life, this is ...
