Insert Coin: Soundlazer speaker plays music with extreme focus

In Insert Coin, we look at an exciting new tech project that requires funding before it can hit production. If you'd like to pitch a project, please send us a tip with "Insert Coin" as the subject line. Here's a neat little project -- a parametric speaker that can only really be heard from the front. According to its inventor, the Soundlazer utilizes ultrasonic carrier waves, focusing its output in a single direction. The Soundlazer has a 20 to 30 foot range. You can hear it from head-on, but if you move to the side or shift the direction of the speaker a bit, the output drops off. The project has 52 days to go, to reach its goal of $48,000. Interested parties who pledge $175 or more will get a fully assembled speaker kit. To see the device in action, check out the video after the break. Previous project update: Well, lookee here -- it seems the public can't wait to get its hands on one of those cool Galileo iPhone platforms. The device has gone well passed its funding goal of $100,000, with 24 days left to contribute.

Generous Prize Winner Donates Rail Tickets to The Children’s Centre

by Olivia Rawlinson

The winner of an Isle of Man Railways competition has generously donated their prize to The Childrens Centre. Free tickets were offered as a prize in a competition in which entrants were invited to suggest names for the Isle of Man Railways mascot.

The competition winner, who wishes to remain anonymous, came up with the name Cushag. The name is that of the Islands national flower which, like the railways cuddly mascot, is bright yellow. The competition winner asked that their prize be donated to the Islands leading charity for children and families, and Isle of Man Transport has kindly presented two season tickets that can be used by any child in residential care.

Susie Cox, Community Fundraiser at The Childrens Centre, said:

The tickets were originally donated anonymously to The Childrens Centre by the winner, and then Isle of Man Railways kindly offered to let the tickets be used by any child in residential care with The Childrens Centre, which is a lovely gesture. A trip on the railway is a real treat and these tickets will be greatly appreciated by the children who use them. On their behalf I would like to say a big thank you to the competition winner and Isle of Man Railways for such wonderful generosity.

Tim Crookall MHK, Minister for Community, Culture and Leisure, commented:

We are all very happy that the winner of our mascot naming competition chose to donate the prize to charity. I am especially looking forward to seeing the children enjoying great days out on the Islands heritage railways and am sure that they will give Cushag a wave as they set off from the station.

a big thank you to the competition winner and Isle of Man Railways for such wonderful generosity.

Titanic: Behind the Legend

by Jade Foster

Tickets are now on sale for the lecture Titanic: Behind the Legend. William Blair Chief Curator of the blockbuster exhibition TITANICa at National Museums Northern Ireland has been invited to the Isle of Man by Manx National Heritage to mark the centenary of the tragedy. On April 20th William will talk at the Manx Museum about the ambitions behind the design and build of Titanic and what drove the White Star Line to create the worlds largest vessel of its time at a staggering cost of c. 1.5m. He will explore life in the gritty Harland and Wolff Belfast shipyard, where Titanic was built, and reveal some of the stories of life on board the ship. Few dramas have caught and held the public imagination quite like Titanic. However, it is the small details, the personal objects and the experiences of private individuals that give the story its human dimension. From passengers in first class enjoying the glamour of a transatlantic journey to travellers in third class pursuing the American dream, this talk will reveal stories of human endeavour, ambition and courage. Not surprisingly for a sea-faring nation, the Isle of Man was intrigued by the Titanic story from the outset. The Manx press frequently reported on the design and build of the ship. The Ramsey Courier ran a story on 12th May 1911 telling of the arrival of the sixteen ton anchor at Belfast and in June The Monas Herald reported in great detail on the successful launch of the ship.

Inevitably news of the tragedy struck a chord with the Manx who had only recently endured the loss of the Ellan Vannin in December 1909. The population joined together once again to raise money for widows and orphans and held a memorial service at The Palace which drew a crowd of more than 5,000. To find out more about the captivating story of Titanic and its place in myth and memory, join us at the Manx Museum on Friday 20th April, 7.30pm (doors open 7pm). Tickets are 6 for adults and 5 to FMNH members and children, available now from the Manx Museum Shop or online at http://www.manxheritageshop.com. Pre-booking is recommended.

Mylchreests Group to support Isle of Man Pony Club One Day Event

by Sue Staley

Isle of Man Pony Club is delighted to announce that Mylchreests Group is to sponsor the Clubs Annual Spring One Day Event on Sunday 29th April 2012. This event will be held at Oatlands, Santon, with kind permission from Mr & Mrs D Shacklock.

Each rider competes at Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country. The Cross Country course consists of four courses, these being 60cm, 75cm, 90cm, 100cm and 110cm.

The event has ten classes covering Juniors and Seniors of differing abilities and ages ranging from eight years to adult.

The sport, part of the Olympic programme since 1912, is a combined competition discipline in which men and women compete as equals. It demands considerable experience in all branches of equitation and a precise knowledge of the horses ability and character. It covers every aspect of horsemanship: the harmony between horse and rider that characterise Dressage; the stamina and extensive experience essential for the Cross Country; the precision, agility and technique involved in jumping.

Mylchreests Group is pleased to sponsor this event and David Mylchreest, Managing Director Mylchreests Group, said We are delighted to be associated with the Isle of Man Pony Club and to support their Annual Spring One Day Event. The event itself demands considerable experience and skill from both rider and horse/pony in the areas of Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country setting the standard across all the disciplines. We are looking forward to an exciting day.

Mylchreests Group have provided prizes for winners of each class, rosettes up to sixth place in each of the ten classes, Best Dressage rosette for each class plus Pony/Horse sash for winners of each class.

Presentation of awards will be made at 4.30pm on the day (unmounted but dressed in dressage attire).

We are looking forward to an exciting day.
