young paramedics
young paramedics is a show that is trying to give a positive representation of young people by showing them training to become paramedics and help towards society. this is also trying to contradict the typical older teenage view (16-19) that they are most commonly found causing trouble and drinking excessively where as this show is trying to give a more positive representation on 16-19 year olds. the ethnicity and gender in this show are being represented as equal and fair as it is not targeting any particular gender or race and the issue it is trying to contradict the typical view on teenagers in the sense that the view of society on teenagers is that they are usually found causing trouble and drinking and are given a very negative representation in the media with this show it is targeted at people who are of a similar age to the people on the program 16-19 and in aiming the show at this same age of audience it is trying to create a better image for teenagers. their are varies camera angles use show but the most common is a mid/long shot mainly showing the whole situation and a bit of the surrounding area

old people news story
Russell Watson, 47, to wed his girlfriend aged 25: Opera star met fiancée in restaurant when her cousin asked for autograph
Classical singer Russell Watson is to marry his 25-year-old girlfriend who is almost half his age.The 47-year-old tenor met former office receptionist Louise Harris four years ago when her cousin asked him for an autograph at a restaurant.
Mr Watson, 47, was quick to play down the age gap between him and his fiancée.
He said: ‘On our first night out, it didn’t pass me by that there’s an age gap between us. I thought, "What will we talk about?" But we didn’t stop talking from the minute we met and haven’t since.’

Opera singer Russel Watson and receptionist Louise Harris, 25, are to marry after four years together
The first date between the pair took place shortly after Miss Harris was introduced to Mr Watson in a restaurant in Alderley Edge, Cheshire.
Miss Harris recalls: ‘Loads of people were asking him for photos and my cousin said: "Ooh, let’s go over" so we did and I took a picture of her with Russell and went to sit back down. He got his assistant Gary to come over and ask if he could take me out for dinner. I said yes.’

Mr Watson, who has performed in front of the Queen and the Pope, got down on one knee and proposed to Miss Harris in front of a giant ancient oak tree decorated in fairy lights on the village green in the picturesque Cheshire village of Astbury.
Miss Harris is reported to have gasped and shouted ‘yes’ as he slipped a vintage diamond and platinum ring onto her finger.

In an interview with Hello! magazine, the pair revealed they were yet to set a date for the wedding
Mr Watson said he picked the tree because he had the ‘idea’ it would make the perfect backdrop for a photo. His close friends Steve and Jackie who were sat in the back of his car at the time he stopped off in front of the tree took the snaps for the album.
No wedding date has been announced but Mr Watson, who also has a second daughter Hannah, 13, from his 13 year marriage to Helen, said he was keen to start a family with Miss Harris. He said: ‘It’s a huge commitment having children, but I genuinely believe that I still have something to offer on the front as a father.’
Miss Harris moved into Mr Watson’s £1.2 Cheshire mansion two years after she began dating him but enjoyed a far more humble childhood growing up in nearby Stoke-on-Trent.
Miss Harris is believed to have attended Maryhill High School where her mother Julie, who works as a doctor’s receptionist, said she obtained five GCSEs in Mathematics, English, Healthcare, IT and Media.
Miss Harris left school at 16 and began an apprenticeship with a holiday company before leaving to take a number of administration roles.
Yesterday her father Ian, a former spray-painter for toilet makers who now buys and sells antiques part-time, said: 'Russell did the honourable thing and came to ask me for Louise’s hand.
'He didn’t seem nervous but if you’ve ever met Russell that won’t come as a surprise. He’s a very confident lad.
'I said to him: "Well you’ve been looking after her for the last four years just carry on. He makes her very happy and we’re all thrilled.
'Russell asked me on Christmas Eve so it was a fantastic present. There were quite a few tears of joy.'

Russell Watson has been married before - and has a 19-year-old daughter called Rebecca


The full interview is in the new issue of Hello! magazine, on sale now
Mr Watson was working 12-hour shifts sporting out nuts and bolts in a factory when he was discovered in a pub in Manchester.
He was dubbed ‘the people’s tenor’ and launched to fame in 2001 with his debut album titled The Voice winning him Album of the Year at the Classical BRIT Awards.
However his success was rocked by a life threatening illness when he was diagnosed with a brain tumour in 2006.
Mr Watson was working on his album ‘That’s Life’ in LA when he returned to the UK and underwent the five hour gruelling surgery to remove the eight-centimetre lump which was pressing on the potentially fatal optic nerve.
After the delayed release of the album in 2007, while in the studio working on his album Outside, the singer was left stunned when MRI scans showed a regrowth of his tumour and life threatening bleeding on his brain.
He once again underwent an emergency operation but was this time left in a critical condition in Alexandra Hospital, Greater Manchester Intensive Therapy Unit.
He was later discharged and underwent an extensive rehabilitation programme including radio therapy which he completed in 2008.
In 2010 the opera star marvelled doctors by releasing a comeback album La Voce.
In his career to date he has sold more than seven million albums worldwide, performing at the Classical Brit Awards and for the Queen.

This is the grinning thug who avoided jail despite being filmed beating a defenceless dog 27 times with a hose from a vacuum cleaner.
Council cleaner Richard Stewart, 36, stood over Peggy - his three-year-old American bulldog - and set about her with the attachment after the animal accidentally soiled the living room carpet.
A friend filmed Stewart, of Middleton, Greater Manchester, on his mobile phone as the thug repeatedly beat the animal about the head and back as she yelped in pain and cowered by a door.

this is an example of class because it shows someone who is obviously working class and they show him looking like a thug and it shows negative image of him in like scruffy clothes and videos of him being abusive the reason this is an example of class is because a upper class person wouldn't do anything like this where as a working class person will be more likely to do that and it is underpinned by giving negative views of him all the time

Music teacher, 45, had sex with two male 16-year-old pupils in her home during drunken party while her husband was away
- Jennifer Philp-Parsons plied the 16-year-olds with alcohol during parties
- Exeter Crown Court heard that she had sex with both in space of an hour
- On one occasion she had sex with a boy while her husband was asleep
- Judge described the former head of music as a 'sordid adulterous'

Jailed: Jennifer Philp-Parsons was jailed for two-and-a-half years after sleeping with two teenage boys
Jennifer Philp-Parsons, 45, groomed the two 16-year-old boys before inviting them to parties at her house, where she plied them with alcohol and had sex with them.
Philp-Parsons had sex with one of the boys while her husband Jake was asleep upstairs and slept with both boys within the space of an hour on one occasion.
However, her husband and their three children today supported Philp-Parsons in court, even writing a letter in support of her which was handed to the judge.
Branding the former head of music at an east Devon college a 'sordid adulteress', Judge Francis Gilbert QC said: 'The details reveal very serious offences involving you seducing two of the students in your school in your own home for your own sexual gratification.
'You have left a trail of destruction and significant distress for a number of people.'
She was jailed for 30 months after admitting three counts of sexual activity with a male aged between 13 and 17 while in a position of trust.
Exeter Crown Court heard how Philp-Parsons became the pupils' favourite teacher after befriending them during lessons.
She provided them with a kettle and a toaster, making her classroom into a common room.
After gaining their trust she started to host house parties, where she would invite pupils and provide alcohol for them to drink.
The court heard that it was during one of the house parties at her home in Exmouth, Devon, in May that she first slept with a pupil.

GOP Lawmakers Introduce Disgusting Bill That Would Allow Religious Groups to Discriminate Against Gays
Earlier today, a group of Republican congressmen led by Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) introduced the 'Marriage and Religious Freedom Act' which would “protect freedom of conscience for those who believe marriage is the union of one man and one woman.”
The Washington Post reports:
They offer a few examples:
The Washington Post reports:
The bill drafted by Rep. Raul Labrador (R-Idaho) is a "narrowly-tailored piece of legislation" that would protect groups "from discrimination by the federal government," he said in an interview this week.
Labrador said he began drafting his proposal partly out of fear that the IRS and other federal agencies might unfairly target groups that oppose same-sex marriage after the Supreme Court struck down a federal law barring gay couples from obtaining federal benefit this summer.
After the court's decision, "there were a lot of ideas about what to do," Labrador said. "Some people looked at overturning it, or doing a constitutional amendment. I looked at the immediate need, which is the protection of religious institutions and churches, so that they can continue practicing their religion as they see fit."
The Human Rights Campaign reports that it "permits federal workers, as well as recipients of federal grants and contracts, to refuse to serve married same-sex couples based on their personal religious beliefs about marriage. It also gives anyone the right to sue the federal government for monetary damages if he or she believes the federal government has discriminated against them based on their religious convictions regarding marriage for same-sex couples."They offer a few examples:
If passed, the Marriage and Religious Freedom Act would permit a federal worker processing tax returns, approving visa applications or reviewing Social Security applications to walk away from their responsibilities whenever a same-sex couple's paperwork appeared on his or her desk. It would also allow a federally-funded homeless shelter or substance abuse treatment program to turn away LGBT people. Despite the cosponsors claims, there is no evidence that federal programs have or would discriminate against individuals because of their religious beliefs about marriage. Protections against discrimination based on religious belief are explicitly and robustly provided under the First Amendment and federal nondiscrimination statutes.
this artical shows sexuality as a probelem in socioty and how they are treated diffrently and how people are going to judge them this shows a negative responce on how sexuality is treated diffrently in socioty and how gays are judged diffrent in socioty because religions and people want to discriminate against people who are of a diffrent sexuality and the media producers are trying tto show that it is notg acseptable for a negative atatude towards discrimination against sexuality
