BLADELESS FAN

CHICAGO, IL – The Dyson company has invented a new kind of fan that has no blades!

The company, mostly known for state-of-the-art vacuum cleaners, decided to try something new. The Dyson Air Multiplier, which looks like a ring on a stand, can expel 119 gallons of air every second!

Air is drawn up the base of the machine, and then forced out a small hole in the loop amplifier at the top. As it exits, it pulls air from behind (inducement) and from the front and sides (entrainment), to create the “multiplied” air flow.

Check out the video below to see it in action:

The Dyson Air Multiplier begins retailing at $299. Reviews have ranged from unimpressed to ecstatic.

FAVORITE COLOR REVEALS PERSONALITY TYPE

Your favorite color reveals your character, says a pioneer in the field of color study.

Faber Birren, author of 24 books about color, said, “It is possible to make fairly accurate judgments about the meaning of color preferences and their revelations of personality traits.”

Here is a color test to find out factors of your personality you may never before has suspected.

Simply choose your overall favorite color from the nine featured here – and read the results below;

RED – This is the color of extroversion, of a person with desire, appetite, a will to live life fully. You are somewhat aggressive, impulsive, perhaps athletic, surely quick to release your feelings and emotions. You have many ups and downs in your feelings.

To you, life is meant to be happy, and when it isn’t, you are  confused and upset. You hate monotony, are quick to judge people, quick to form opinions and boldly express them.

ORANGE – Generally you are good-natured, likable and social, you make friends easily, with an easy smile and a talent for small talk.

Chances are better than even that you will not marry, and if you do, your marriage will be one of light affection. You prefer friendliness and companionship to adoration. A natural born politician, you shine at any occupation in which you meet groups of people. You seldom indulge in serious thought or severe discipline.

YELLOW – You have great expectations and diligently seek self-fulfillment. Yellow is the hue of idealism – you have a superior mind and you use it. Your manner may be aloof, but you are not shy. You may occasionally feel an awkward moment, but you never get rattled.

In many respects you are a longer. You are good at formulating plans, but may not be energetic enough to carry them out. You think things through clearly, are logical and consistent.

GREEN - You are sure to be constant in your ways, persevering, sensible and respectable. You have a good balance. Outspoken, with a love of freedom, those who like green are generally social and live in a good neighborhood, have many friends and belong to social organizations. You tend to resist change. You like parties and you like to eat – and may usually be on a diet.

Your social standing, financial position and reputation are all of top importance to you. You constantly seek affirmation of companionship and affection.

BLUE-GREEN – A fastidious person, you have good taste, dress well and probably are a connoisseur of good food and wine. You are poised and apparently self-controlled though inside you may feel tense. You would perish without love and admiration.

The man who likes blue-green may be conceited, sophisticated, well-groomed, witty and sarcastic. The woman who likes this hue has a remarkable sense of fashion, is vain, mysterious – and ever charming, with exception appeal to men.

Ceylinco Healthcare opens first TomoTherapy Centre

Sri Lanka’s first TomoTherapy Centre was formally inaugurated today, offering one of the world’s most advanced and precise radiation techniques for the treatment of many forms of cancer.

TomoTherapy is an integrated, advanced form of 3-dimensional image-guided radiation therapy (IGRT). Because a patient’s anatomy can change from day-to-day, image-guided radiation therapy helps doctors make immediate adjustments to allow for tumor movement or shrinkage, weight loss and other changes.

This is the second radiation oncology unit set up in Sri Lanka by the Ceylinco Life subsidiary Ceylinco Healthcare Services Ltd. (CHSL). The new Centre is equipped with the latest TomoHD™ treatment system from Accuray Inc. (USA), the global pioneer in the field of TomoTherapy. It will operate alongside CHSL’s first radiation treatment unit, opened in September 2007 with Sri Lanka’s first Linear Accelerator (Linac).

Both radiation treatment facilities are located in close proximity, at Park Street, Colombo 2; the new TomoTherapy Centre at No 70, and the Linear Accelerator unit at No 60.

The only machine of its kind in Sri Lanka, the TomoHD™ unit can provide significantly more accurate radiation therapy for even the smallest tumors and reduce treatment times. Photon radiation is produced by a linear accelerator which travels around the patient and moves in unison with a device called a multi-leaf collimator that shapes the beam. The TomoTherapy treatment system delivers radiation therapy with a spiral delivery pattern (TomoHelical™) or discrete-angle approach (TomoDirect™) while the couch is also moving—guiding the patient slowly through the center of the ring.

As both a treatment delivery machine and a CT scanner, the TomoTherapy system allows doctors to take a CT scan just before each treatment. With the scan, they can verify the position of the tumor and, if necessary, adjust the patient’s position to make sure radiation is directed right where it should be.

CTrue™ imaging, available only with the TomoTherapy system, allows clinicians to see what they plan to treat immediately prior to beginning each treatment fraction and ensures that the tumour will not be under-dosed, and that radiation exposure to surrounding tissue will be minimized according to plan. In addition, daily CT scans can be used to adapt a treatment plan, if necessary.

Both radiation treatment units of Ceylinco Healthcare Services are housed in purpose-built solid concrete bunkers constructed to the precise specifications provided by the Atomic Energy Authority (AEA). The new building constructed by CHSL for the TomoHD™ machine will initially comprise of two floors of 4500 square feet each. The TomoTherapy machine will be installed in the bunker on the ground floor which will also accommodate a data server room, a treatment planning room, an operator station, a mechanical room, a reception area, a patient waiting area and a lobby. The building is designed for later expansion up to nine floors.

Addressing media at a news conference after the opening of the new Centre, Ceylinco Healthcare Services Chairman Mr. R. Renganathan said: “The availability of TomoTherapy in Sri Lanka represents a dimensional change in the treatment options available in-country for cancer patients. It is our hope that this investment will help many patients save the costs associated with overseas travel for treatment, and receive the best radiation therapy available in the company of family and friends, which is an important factor in beating cancer. For Ceylinco Healthcare, this Centre reflects the company’s commitment to continue investing in and pioneering cutting-edge technology in Sri Lanka’s private healthcare sector.”

Dr Nadia Di Muzio, Director of Radiation Oncology Department at the Scientific Institute H. S. Raffaele, Milan, Italy, testified: “Through our everyday experience and our clinical studies at the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan, we continue to demonstrate that combining TomoTherapy’s advanced IG/IMRT technology with daily imaging allows for accurate, highly-advanced treatments that deliver significant patient benefit.”

Dr. Sarath Abeyakoon, Medical Director of the Ceylinco Healthcare Services said the new TomoHD treatment system can accommodate future innovations, including the Advanced TomoTherapy Delivery Technique, a research initiative expected to reduce treatment times by 40 percent to 70 percent, while improving treatment quality. “TomoTherapy is non-invasive and as painless as having a CT scan or an X-ray, and takes only a few minutes a day,” he said. “It is capable of treating small, large and multiple tumors, in multiple areas of the body, during the same treatment session.” 

TomoTherapy can be used to treat cancers all over the body, but is especially effective for pediatric cancers, head and neck, pancreatic, left-sided breast, anal and rectal cancers, Dr. Abeyakoon added.

Ceylinco Healthcare Services owns and operates the state-of-the-art Ceylinco Radiation Treatment Unit, the Ceylinco Healthcare Centre and the Ceylinco Diabetes Centre, all at Park Street, Colombo 2, offering comprehensive screening, diagnostic services and medical care. In its first five years of operation the Ceylinco Healthcare Centre dispensed more than 10,000 cancer treatments encompassing linear accelerator treatments, brachytherapy, radioactive iodine treatments and chemotherapy.
