한채윤: 정말 호랑이보다 곶감이 무서운가
지난주 내내 ‘부산 에이즈’가 실시간 검색어에 올랐다. 부산에서 에이즈 신속검사키트가 갑자기 많이 팔렸다고도 한다. HIV 감염인으로 밝혀진 여성이 불특정 다수의 남성과 성행위를 했다며 무슨 억하심정으로 그런 복수극을 벌였는지 제멋대로 추측하는 기사가 난무했다.

Colton Haynes has never been shy about taking on big iconic female characters for Halloween and this year is no different. He and fiance Jeff Leatham attended Freixenet Cava’s 2nd Annual Black Magic Halloween Affair at La Descarga in Hollywood on Tuesday.
Leatham wore a Top Gun uniform and Haynes took on (and eventually took off) Marge Simpson.
Haynes told Us Weekly that it took five hours to get into costume: “[There’s] a lot of tape in areas you don’t want tape. My balls hurt. It was so fun. I can’t see. It’s worth it! I actually had to mess up the costume. It looked way better, but I couldn’t see [with the fake eyes] so I cut them out myself.”

Cancer Patients Less Likely To Have Chemo If Diagnosed Early, Research Reveals
Cancer Patients Less Likely To Have Chemo If Diagnosed Early, Research Reveals
A patient’s cancer treatment plan has been linked to the stage of diagnosis for the first time in new findings.
Researchers from Cancer Research UK and Public Health England have revealed whether NHS patients received surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy, alone or in combination, linked with their cancer stage.
Patients are five times more likely to have surgery to remove their tumour, and far less likely to have chemotherapy, if they are diagnosed sooner rather than later.
Many people think of chemotherapy and radiotherapy when they think of cancer treatment, as this is the most appropriate form of treatment for some cancers.
But for most forms of the disease surgery to remove the tumour is the most effective way to cure the cancer. This option also minimises side effects and impact on quality of life.
The data examined was extensive, including about half a million patients with 22 different cancer types in England between 2013-2014.
Findings reveal seven in 10 (70%) diagnosed at the earliest stage (stage 1) had surgery to remove their tumour. This falls to around one in 10 (13%) of those diagnosed at the latest stage (stage 4).
Around 1 in 10 (12%) patients diagnosed at the earliest stage have chemotherapy. This rises to around 4 in 10 (39%) of those diagnosed at the latest stage.
Prof Mick Peake, a lead clinician in the study and based at Public Health England, said: “Doctors want to offer patients the best possible treatment. For some cancers, like leukaemia and lymphoma, that’s chemotherapy. But in most cases the earlier cancer is diagnosed the more likely it is to be effectively treated by surgery, and that means chemotherapy isn’t always necessary.
“In general, the treatment of cancers at an early stage also reduces the risk of long term side effects which can affect patients’ quality of life.”
Sara Hiom, Cancer Research UK’s director of early diagnosis, said: “Understandably, people sometimes fear cancer treatments as well as the disease itself. This research shows how important an early diagnosis is for simplifying the treatment options as much as possible. Until now, we’ve not been able to look at such rich data for the whole of England and analyse who’s been treated how. Now, thanks to recent improvements, it’s possible to show how stage affects the treatments patients need, giving us a more complete picture.
“We all have our part to play to increase the number of patients diagnosed earlier. People should consult their GP if they are worried about symptoms, GPs should follow clinical guidelines to refer patients, and the right diagnostic tests need to be performed and reported promptly so that patients can benefit more from treatments. This all needs greater attention and our national cancer strategy helps give this focus.”

‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Director Promises Full DVD of Chris Hemsworth Shirtless
‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Director Promises Full DVD of Chris Hemsworth Shirtless
It’s a big promise, but now it’s out there.
Chris Hemsworth and Thor: Ragnarok director Taika Waititi gave an interview to Yahoo Entertainment’s Kevin Polowy in which they were asked if the hulking Australian actor had it in his contract to remove the shirt.

Said Hemsworth: “In the very first Thor, I’d be training for months and months and months and Kenneth Branagh said ‘aww, what do you think about a shirt off scene?’ I said ‘mate I’ve been killing myself in the gym for eight months! I’m ready. Let’s go.’”
But Hemsworth said he was relieved there was no shirtless scene in the Thor: Ragnarok script, until he spoke with Waititi.
“I said Chris you have to take your shirt off,” explained Waititi. “Do you want bums on seats?”
Joked Waititi: “I would say that on the DVD you can expect an extra DVD of just that. An entire disk. Four hours of him – slow motion, black and white, black and chrome, full color…”
We can hope.
Incidentally, most reviews that have come out about the film note how funny it is.
There’s only one problem with the film being so funny and such a spectacle, though: The laughter and grandeur overshadows almost everything else. Ragnarok is missing the emotional core that has elevated many other Marvel films. The jokes and set pieces come at you so often that there’s barely a moment for you to feel anything else. Luckily—and unlike so many other films that try the same thing—Thor: Ragnarok is so good it manages to work anyway.

The Apprentice’s Latest Fired Candidate Reveals The One Piece Of Information That Could Have Saved Them
The Apprentice’s Latest Fired Candidate Reveals The One Piece Of Information That Could Have Saved Them
As always, it’s a case of another week, another evictee on ‘The Apprentice’ and on Wednesday (25 October) night, it was finally time for the ladies’ team to lose a candidate.
After failing to make as much money as Michaela, Sarah and the boys’, project manager Siobhán Smith failed to defend herself adequately in the boardroom.
While Lord Alan Sugar made a pretty good case as he fired her, Siobhán has now revealed that there’s one pretty important thing that wasn’t made clear as the football-themed task took place.
Speaking to HuffPost UK, she explained: “I didn’t know that you can’t take drinks into the stadium, that’s something nobody told me as I was buying the booze and ordering everything.
“So that would have been a big point to be honest with you.
“Yeah, I ordered a lot of wine but the events I do are on a buy back, whatever you don’t have, you can give back and get a refund on it.”
The issue is something Siobhán also spoke about while filming ‘You’re Fired!’, the day before her final ‘The Apprentice’ episode aired.
Revealing what the show’s hosts said about the matter, she added: “It all became quite prevalent. The presenters said, ‘I think you took this as too much of a real-life situation, you weren’t playing the game and the boys were’.”
‘The Apprentice’ continues next Wednesday, with the candidates being sent on a special birthday treasure hunt for items relevant to Lord Sugar’s life. No, we can’t wait to see what they have to hunt down and purchase either.

GLAAD condemns the PA Senate for targeting access to transgender healthcare in CHIP reauthorization bill
GLAAD condemns the PA Senate for targeting access to transgender healthcare in CHIP reauthorization bill
Amendment added to House Bill 1388 specifically targets low-income trans youth
NEW YORK – GLAAD, the world’s largest LGBTQ media advocacy organization today condemned the Pennsylvania Senate for passing the state’s Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) reauthorization legislation with an amendment aimed at denying lower-income Pennsylvania transgender youth under the age of 19 full access to transition-related healthcare.
“Instead of addressing the alarming rates of discrimination and harassment faced by transgender youth, Pennsylvania lawmakers are assuming the role of bullies by promoting fear-mongering myths about trans healthcare from the floor of the Senate,” said Sarah Kate Ellis, President and CEO of GLAAD. “Science and medicine have repeatedly deemed transition related care to be medically necessary, and blocking low-income transgender youth from full access to this vital care is cruel and unconscionable.”
The violently anti-trans sentiment at the core of this harmful amendment was clear in the original draft, which would have slashed all access to transition related care, including counseling. As passed, the amendment was changed to only deny access to surgery. While surgical care is not often prescribed for youth, there are circumstances where this form of healthcare is deemed medically necessary for trans individuals under the age of 19, which is why “surgical services” are currently listed as a benefit in the PA CHIP Eligibly and Benefits Handbook by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.
Transgender and gender-nonconforming Pennsylvanians in grades K-12 have reported disturbingly high rates of harassment (74%), physical assault (23%) and sexual violence (9%). Amendments such as this one, pushed by Republican state Sen. Donald White, only further feeds the stigma and fear that promotes bullying, harassment and violence that transgender people experience. Lack of access to treatment for gender dysphonia can also lead to depression, anxiety, and suicidality.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Current language of the Pennsylvania CHIP Eligibility and Benefits Handbook:
“Gender Transition: Federal Final Rule “Nondiscrimination in Health Programs and Activities” prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in health-related insurance and other health-related coverage. Coverage related to gender affirming services that otherwise fall within the beneficiary’s scope of covered CHIP benefits (e.g. physician’s services, inpatient and outpatient hospital services, surgical services, prescribed drugs, therapies, etc.) will be compensable under the CHIP program when deemed medically necessary. Medical necessity is to be determined utilizing the World Professional Association for Transgender Health (www.WPATH.org) Standard of Care guidelines and any successor WPATH guidelines. Sex specific health care cannot be denied or limited because the person seeking services identifies as belonging to another gender. For example; a provider may not deny an individual gynecological services such as pap smears based on identification as a transgender male.”
