Prior to IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson taking part in the Musicians Institute's MI Conversation Series on April 21 in Hollywood
the Musicians Institute YouTube channel got to hang with him in the green room and ask him some questions before he hit the stage
Regarding what advice he would give to artists
Bruce said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "One of the most important things is self-belief
I've played with people who have been astonishing musicians but were forever doomed to be playing in their bedroom because they had no self-belief because they did not go out there and put themselves out there and perform so the people notice them
it's like if you're the greatest guitar player in the world and you sit in the middle of a tent in the Sahara Desert
and other musicians will try and put you down as well because they're all trying to step on top of you to do X
And try not to just go down the rabbit hole of a particular type of music
even if you love that particular type of music."
but if you make the performance all about yourself
What you need to do is have the self-belief to use whatever talent it is you have to tell a story
to have some feeling inside that you can express that's real and authentic
and then people will listen because it resonates with them
'cause you knock it out there and they knock it back and you go
And then you chuck it out again and you gradually warm up the pot
That's why concerts are always better at the end than they are at the beginning
Dickinson said: "Whatever the last thing I did
that's what keeps me going — not the thing I did 40 years ago or anything else like that
I don't listen to a lot of stuff that I did
What were we thinking?' Or I hear some technical thing like
How did we let that go?' So stuff like that
because what you want is… It is an instant reaction people get to music
There are moments of technical excellence that coincide with emotional impact
we were a 10 today.' But sometimes you don't — sometimes you get an emotional
I argue it's always the emotional nine and a half
'I don't like him because he can't sing a high D above C…' 'Fuck off
Bruce also touched upon how music distribution has changed over the years
and what it really means for artists' livelihoods
He said: "Obviously when the whole file-sharing thing kicked off in the very early days
the major labels didn't understand what was about to hit them
All of our favorite music is suddenly free,' which was very nice for them
It was not a great disaster for established bands with a live following because they could still sell enough product
but they could still go out and tour and make their money and make a living and merchandising
But for everybody else on the planet that was up and coming
Spotify [was a] catastrophe… So you have to use your creative imagination in trying to present what you are doing in a way that people are excited about it
but it's just the media in which you have to do it is now different
And I know there are people who sit in their den with their podcast mic on and do basically kind of like a live broadcast every week with subscribers
And that's the way they make music and do it
But it's not the same as going out there with a live concert and building a physical community in one place that does that space
But it may be a way to alleviate some of the problems associated with kind of digital distribution
all the record labels that have evolved from the ashes of the old system are all very tech savvy and realize that you can stop people giving your music away
you can still sell records and things like that and that there are other avenues
There is endless appetite for consumption of music
so somebody somewhere must be making some money out of it."
Bruce's "The Mandrake Project Live 2025" North American tour will kick off in Anaheim
California at the House of Blues on August 22 and take the band across North America including shows in New York
with festival appearances at Rocklahoma (Oklahoma) and Louder Than Life (Kentucky),with more to be announced
The tour will also include a quick return to Brazil for the prestigious The Town festival at the City Of Light in São Paulo
Joining the IRON MAIDEN singer on the "The Mandrake Project Live 2025" North American tour will once again be his 2024 backing band
featuring Dave Moreno (drums),Mistheria (keyboards) and Tanya O'Callaghan (bass),alongside the group's latest additions
songwriter and multi-platinum-credited producer Philip Näslund and Swiss session and touring guitarist Chris Declercq (who played on Dickinson's "Rain On The Graves" single)
Bruce's longtime guitarist and collaborator Roy "Z" Ramirez is not part of the touring lineup
Bruce last performed with his solo band on in August 2002 at the legendary Wacken Open Air festival in Germany
Bruce and Roy recorded "The Mandrake Project" largely at Los Angeles's Doom Room
with Roy doubling up as both guitarist and bassist
The recording lineup for "The Mandrake Project" was rounded out by Mistheria and Moreno
both of whom also featured on Bruce's last solo studio album
Dickinson made his recording debut with IRON MAIDEN on the "Number Of The Beast" album in 1982
He quit the band in 1993 in order to pursue his solo career and was replaced by Blaze Bayley
who had previously been the lead singer of the metal band WOLFSBANE
After releasing two traditional metal albums with former MAIDEN guitarist Adrian Smith
Dickinson rejoined the band in 1999 along with Smith
a bird that normally can be found no farther north than southern Kansas and South Carolina
turned up this week at a home in Felch Township in Dickinson County
which is related to the native indigo buntings
are considered among the most colorful birds in North America
When Sandy Chartier glanced out her glass deck doors Tuesday and saw this sitting on her bird feeders
“I couldn’t believe it,” the longtime Felch Township resident said
finch-sized bird made itself so at home on her deck the rest of the day that Chartier was able to get several decent photos with her phone
as it hopped around on the doormat and bellied up to the clear feeder she has attached by suction cups to the window
She then turned to Facebook with the photos
“Anyone know what kind of bird this is?” she asked
“I’ve been feeding birds for years and have never had one here like this before.”
The answer: It’s the kind of bird people get very excited about seeing here
because there’s a reason why you’ve never had one like it before
While considered fairly common in the southern U.S.
the well-named painted bunting normally nests no farther north than southeastern Kansas or South Carolina
So the odds of one turning up in far northern Michigan are long
Much less at a home well off the beaten path in Felch Township
Vagrants like this bunting can be caused by a number of factors

Severe weather like a hurricane or snowstorm might force the bird wildly off course
or other issues that affect the food supply may make them seek a better situation
But this likely is a case of “overshooting,” when a southern species that winters in Mexico and Central America keeps pushing north well past its usual range during spring migration
Because of their plumage and fondness for bird feeders
male painted buntings regularly get noticed each year when they wander off course
Cornell Lab of Ornithology’s website for reporting sightings throughout the world
showed at least a dozen records of painted buntings in the Upper Peninsula
probably stray into the north as well but go unnoticed and underreported
it can be considered a rare treat to have one
That has to be in the top three colorful birds (in North America),” he said
It looks like it’s been dipped in paint.”
Painted buntings come from a particularly colorful family
this family includes the familiar northern cardinal
rose-breasted grosbeaks and scarlet tanagers
all of which come north to nest in late spring each year
But none of those are quite as decked out as the male painted bunting
“Now I just talk to him when he comes to the window,” she said
“I have a hard time calling him a he
as a host of other species — brown-headed cowbirds
goldfinches and more — just in a couple of hours Wednesday
She’s put out more feeders to keep up with the traffic
But Painter definitely is the star while he remains
“I just love the fact he chose my area,” Chartier said
“I was thinking how sad I would be when he doesn’t show up any more … but he has his own life to lead.”

Iron Maiden frontman offers advice to young musicians looking to make their mark
Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson says self-belief is one of the most important attributes young musicians need if they are going to make their mark
The beloved metal icon gives some sage advice to new
up-and-coming artists in an interview with the Musicians Institute
says all the skill in the world won't mean a thing if you don't believe in yourself
And he warns that everyone – even other musicians – will try stand in the way of your success
He says: "One of the most important things is self-belief
"I've played with people who have been astonishing musicians but were forever doomed to be playing in their bedroom because they had no self-belief because they did not go out there and put themselves out there and perform so the people notice them
"If you're the greatest guitar player in the world and you sit in the middle of a tent in the Sahara Desert
and other musicians will try and put you down as well because they're all trying to step on top of you."

While encouraging musicians to have confidence
Dickinson stresses that it's important not to let that turn into arrogance
"What you need to do is have the self-belief to use whatever talent it is you have to tell a story

Here's five things we learned from the Musicians Institute In Conversation Series with Iron Maiden legend Bruce Dickinson, presented by Z2 and Loudwire
Hosted by respected music industry veteran Ryan J. Downey
the basis of the interview was centered around The Mandrake Project
which is both Dickinson's latest solo album and ongoing comic series in partnership with Z2
there's much more going on in his world than any one particular project
He's been balancing touring with Iron Maiden and reactivating his presence on the world's stages as a solo artist over the last two years
having previously embarked on spoken word tours as well
Those in attendance also had the opportunity to present questions for Dickinson
Who is the French experimental artist on his wife's playlist who is completely blowing his mind
we share some of the most memorable and insightful moments from this two-part video (which you can watch at the bottom of the page)
along with photos to bring you closer inside this exclusive event at the Musicians Institute in Hollywood with Z2
It is exhausting just trying to recollect all the different things Bruce Dickinson has done and continues to do with his life and career
He'll turn 67 later this year and seems to have taken a drink from the well of everlasting life
When asked where all this energy is coming from with another daunting tour schedule coming up
balancing Iron Maiden and his solo venture
he does have a threshold, but we're not entirely convinced
"I do like working hard," he says
That's when your performance is actually slowly sliding down the cliff because you've overdone it
calming down means leaving his North American solo tour this fall after a Sept
4 performance in Florida to play at The Town festival in Sao Paolo
of course, kicks off 20 days after Iron Maiden wrap up over 30 dates of a 50th anniversary tour that begins in late May
Iron Maiden's Run For Your Lives tour will celebrate the band's 50th anniversary with material spanning the first album through Fear of the Dark
It also marks the debut of new drummer Simon Dawson
who has been brought in following the retirement of the legendary Nicko McBrain
Dickinson reveals that on The Future Past Tour last year
Iron Maiden had Dawson along with them as an emergency failsafe
"It was kind of insurance for us because we were hoping Nick was going to make the tour
but there were some times during the show where
but his physical body was really [ailing] and we needed to have a backup," he explains
McBrain had remarkably worked his way back from a stroke that left him partially paralyzed just months before a 2023 tour. The drummer, currently 72, recently opened up about his retirement from the road
acknowledging the difficulty in managing his body day-to-day
already having chemistry with him through their years in British Lion together. Still
Dickinson confesses that the band wondered if and how it would or could work
Maiden rented a rehearsal space in Portland
I was pleasantly shocked," the singer says
"We went through the whole set without a break
We went through the entire set of the tour that we were on at the time
Dickinson notes other drummers were name-checked by fans as potential suitors
"One of the reasons we didn't pick those other type of drummers — they were very good drummers
nothing wrong with their drumming — they all wanted to sound like Nick
You shouldn't even try to replace him
you don't want a Nicko clone," the singer reasons
"You want a drummer that plays the material and plays their own style."
"If I closed my eyes during rehearsal
it's like having Clive Burr back in the band."
Nearly 20 years passed between the release of Tyranny of Souls and Dickinson's most recent solo album, The Mandrake Project
But don't worry — you won't have to wait that long again for a new solo album
"I've just been in the demo studio with everybody for the last three weeks and we ended up with 18 tracks in 15 days," the singer says of the follow-up record
"It's gonna be a really cool album
We started off with him doing the [Dolby] Atmos mixes and then kind of morphed into
'I take it you do stereo as well.' And he's great
we are just keeping the same crew on this record
And [I'm] looking to record it next year
April is kind of free zone for me next year."

asked what bands Dickinson is currently listening to
The singer repeats the name of the person who submitted the question and it appears to have brought French experimental artist Igorrr to the forefront of his mind
"It is absolutely extraordinary talent
full-on opera into death metal and back again
He also listens to a lot of his wife Leana's Deezer playlists because "she has pretty good taste." What's on the playlists
"Cookie Monster" death metal stuff to Uli Jon Roth-era Scorpions to Chicago to Yes
"This is such a well put together song
I know it's a bit AOR/middle of the road
but damn that's a good song." The 10-minute "You and I" off Yes' 1972 masterpiece Close to the Edge was another standout
When talking about onstage influences such as Jethro Tull's codpiece-clad Ian Anderson and Deep Purple guitarist and rock 'n' roll agitator Ritchie Blackmore
Dickinson explains how he was drawn to their physical energy onstage
"He was doing all this crazy stuff with his codpiece and twirling his flute around," he says of Anderson
"And I liked Ritchie because Ritchie was always chucking his guitar." For those reasons
he decided the music he'd pursue would have a similar "kinetic" quality
"Which is why I still to this day run around like a lunatic."
Downey quips that if not for those influences
we may have never seen Dickinson running onstage with a "bird mask" on
referencing the feathery face covering the singer is known to wear when Iron Maiden play "Powerslave" live
"That reminds me," Dickinson says
"I need to phone up my costume girl and say

“The Beatles changed my understanding of music,” the film director Sam Mendes told an audience at CinemaCon 2025 in Las Vegas on Monday
“I’ve been trying to make a movie about them for years.”
And it seems the long and winding road will reach its destination in April 2028
as the James Bond and American Beauty director confirmed four biopics of the Fab Four – one for each member
Mendes has enlisted Hollywood favourites to star as what he described as “the most significant band of all time”: Paul Mescal will play Paul McCartney; Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon; Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr; and Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison.
The Oscar-winner said the story was “too big for one film”, and did not work as a TV series, adding: “We’re not just making one film about the Beatles – we’re making four.
“Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.”
According to Mendes, Tom Rothman, the boss of Sony, which is producing the movies, called them “the first binge-able theatrical experience”.
It marks the first time Apple, the Beatles’ record company, and the two living band members, McCartney and Starr, have granted the rights to their stories for the big screen.
In an interview with People magazine, 84-year-old Starr said he was “excited to see what [Mendes] does with” the “madness of making four movies at the same time … there’ll be Beatles in mine around when I joined, and there’ll be Beatles in Paul’s. We’ll all be there.”
The stars of The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event were revealed on stage, all dressed in black, at the annual industry event for Hollywood.
Mescal and Quinn then recited from the Beatles’ song Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band: “It’s wonderful to be here
“There had to be a way to tell the epic story for a new generation,” Mendes told the audience
adding: “I can assure you there is still plenty left to explore and I think we found a way to do that.”
Rumours had swirled for months about who would play the band members, especially after the Gladiator II director, Ridley Scott, appeared to accidentally reveal Mescal had been cast as McCartney back in December
dodged speculation that he would play Lennon
telling an interviewer it would be a “brilliant opportunity”
But there are already ripples of backlash to the casting of four non-scouse actors – two of them Irish – as the famous sons of Liverpool
“Thank goodness none of them are already known to have a famously terrible scouse accent
amirite?!” wrote Amy-Leigh Shaw on Bluesky
referring to Keoghan’s on/off Liverpool twang in the film Saltburn
Aiden Byrne said the Beatles were an incredible band but “unless these films have some startling new angle then all they’re gonna do is make everyone realise that doing scouse accents properly is hard”
The Guardian’s own film critic, Peter Bradshaw, got stuck in, writing that the absence of actors from Merseyside “could be an issue”
Criticism too was levelled at the actors’ ages – Mescal is 29
playing a character who was 27 when the band broke up – and their physiques
writing: “Finally we will get to see four movies that ask the question: ‘What if the Beatles had six pack abs?’”
Ellie Henman
who will play John Lennon in the upcoming Beatles biopics
I’ve been told that the English actor has proposed to his singer girlfriend Rose Gray and she has been showing off a massive diamond engagement ring
The childhood sweethearts met at school and have been together for years but have taken things to the next level
just as both of their careers are really taking off
Harris starred in the erotic thriller Babygirl last year opposite Nicole Kidman
while Rose has been tipped for great things following the release in January of her debut album Louder
which comes highly recommended by the Bizarre team
A source said: “Harris has been with Rose for years and years
For everyone who knows them it was a matter of when
He popped the question a while back and they’re both over the moon
“They aren’t planning on rushing down the aisle straight away but it’s exciting for them both
They are each other’s biggest fans and it’s like they were made for each other.”
The couple live together in East London and share a British shorthair cat called Misty Blue. And they’ve already put their relationship to the test by working together, with Harris directing her music videos for 2019’s Blue and 2023’s Afraid of Nothing.
Speaking previously about that, Harris said: “We’re so close that we can just be very direct. And I think she was the same with me, where if I had a crap idea, she’d say, ‘No, we’re not doing that.’”
She added: “Harris brought an element of chaos and rawness that I’ve never had before in a video. I was able to lose myself completely. I love a pop girlie video, but Harris brought the cinema.”
LADY Gaga appears to be the love child of the abominable snowman and a crow as she stole the first weekend of Coachella Festival in California
She wore the feathered look complete with white monster hands as she belted out mega hit Bad Romance
Other looks included Gaga wearing armour and crutches for a stripped-back rendition of 2008 single Paparazzi as well as a blue army-inspired jacket and black feathered jester hat
Another change saw Gaga slip into a tiny black dress and black boots as she performed a rock version of new song Garden of Eden
Despite Green Day headlining Saturday night and Charli XCX bringing out both Lorde and Billie Eilish during her set
Gaga was the only person anyone wanted to talk about all weekend
Her hour-and-a-half set contained no less than seven full costume changes – plus mini changes – and multiple wig changes
she also showed off her musical skills by playing the guitar and piano
The show has gone down as one of – if not the – greatest in both Coachella and Gaga history
It’s certainly a hit with Bizarre’s Jack and Howell who both woke up at 6:50am to watch her performance live
And rather than be exhausted after her seriously high-energy show
I’m told Gaga hosted a private afterparty backstage at Coachella with free-flowing booze and her new choreographer Paris Goebel on the decks
The Poker Face singer was seen dancing away as Paris blasted a remix of her latest Abracadabra
Gaga was joined by her devoted fiancé Michael Polansky
David Furnish and super producer Andrew Watt
Gaga’s area was cornered off with a white picket fence and decorated with Chinese lanterns and sofas and cushions
Gaga hit up In N Out in Cabazon the next day to enjoy a good old-fashioned American burger
Despite fan rumours, Gaga is working on a follow-up to her Netflix doc Five Foot Two
sources insist to Bizarre this is not the case and she’s instead now laser-focused on week two of Coachella and her free gig on Rio beach next month
USHER has hit Paris as he continues his Past
The U Got It Bad singer will perform in the French capital tomorrow and Wednesday before heading on to Abu Dhabi, Amsterdam and Berlin
He will finish up the tour with two final shows in London as part of his residency at the O2 Arena
Usher spotted Little Simz in the crowd and gave her a shout-out before inviting her to a massive after-party in Soho

KIDS can be nasty little sods to each other, and Sophie Ellis-Bextor has revealed that hers have been picked on for their gorgeous red hair
who has four boys with husband Richard Jones
was asked about their locks on Andreas Wild’s Salon Confidential podcast
Sophie said: “It’s definitely been something they’ve experienced
“But rather than making it make you feel down
hopefully by having conversations it can actually keep an eye on it and keep it on the right side of things
“You get to secondary school and anything that marks you out becomes the thing you will be teased about
“It’s extraordinary how you have this desire at that age group just to blend in
And then you get a bit older and you’re like
‘Actually all those things about me that set me apart are the things I’ll now give space to and invest in and enjoy myself’.”
She added: “My kids have got some different shades of red
but it’s so gorgeous – and I can always find them so easily in a playground
BECKY Hill is one of our top dance music stars and now she has teamed up with two of America’s – The Chainsmokers
I’ve learned they have been writing together in an LA studio this week as she continued work on her third album
writing on Instagram: “It’s funny this job
there’s zero security in how long you’ll continue to do it
damaging comparisons to other artists/peers
constant worry about whether the music you’re making is good enough...”
she added: “I always look at how far there is to go and not how far I’ve come
“Here’s to the next ten years (at least).”

THANK You singer Jamelia is planning to make a comeback this year – after being urged to by her kids
From 2000 to 2006 she clocked up seven top ten hits
Asked on Hits Radio if she would return to music
At the end of last year my eldest daughter was just like
So at the beginning of this year I went back in and I was like
“I’ve absolutely loved it and I’m gearing up to release some music this year.”
She added: “I think making music at this point in my life..
so to bring my wisdom and life experience has been incredible.”
Shakira proves her hips don’t lie on her world tour – and neither do the stats
The Colombian star’s shows – which began in February and will run until November – have eclipsed the success of Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish
according to entertainment industry analysers Pollstar
She was No.1 in the magazine’s weekly Live75 rankings – which takes into account factors including ticket sales and revenue
Six of Shakira’s gigs from her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran world tour averaged 44,828 ticket sales
grossing just over $6 million (£4.5 million) each
I revealed in January that Shakira, pictured performing on Saturday in Medellin, Colombia
has earmarked venues for a UK tour next year

The announcement leaves a vacancy on Coach Self’s staff and marks the end of an era for the Jayhawks
acknowledged the news by sharing the announcement on Instagram
He offered no words — just the post itself — perhaps reflecting his respect and appreciation for Roberts without needing to elaborate

In his final season at Kansas, the 7-foot-2 center averaged 17.4 points and 10 rebounds per game. His college career came to a close on March 20 in a 79-72 NCAA Tournament first-round loss to the Arkansas Razorbacks. Dickinson contributed 11 points and nine rebounds in that contest.
Across 161 career college games, Dickinson consistently delivered strong performances. Prior to transferring to KU, Dickinson played three seasons at the University of Michigan. His highest-scoring season came in his second year at Michigan, when he averaged 18.6 points per game.
Roberts has been a fixture in college basketball since his playing days at Queens College in the early 1980s. After his playing career ended in 1987, he transitioned to coaching in 1991. From 1991 to 1995, he served as head coach at his alma mater.
Roberts’ coaching journey then took him through various assistant roles at Oral Roberts, Tulsa, Illinois and Kansas between 1995 and 2004. In April 2004, he was hired as the head coach at St. John’s University, where he remained until March 2010, when he was dismissed following an NIT loss.
Shortly thereafter, Billy Donovan hired Roberts for a one-year stint at the University of Florida. In 2012, Roberts returned to Kansas as an assistant coach, a position he held until his retirement announcement on Monday.
This week I am in the middle of production week for Cat Wranglers Productions’ live show at the Belfield Theater and Performance Center. Production week is kind of like finals week in college, or the week before your wedding, or the week after your baby is born. On steroids.
Our home theater in Belfield is a working movie theater. That means we rehearse five nights a week onstage, Sunday through Thursday. During the other two nights, as well as Sunday afternoon, there are movies shown on that huge screen with which we share the stage.
Most actors rehearse with a set around them. We have a movie screen. Instead of putting up the set for our rehearsals, we put masking tape lines on the floor and write “wall” on the masking tape with a felt-tip pen. We also write, “door,” “window,” and “please don’t walk through this imaginary wall,” on the tape lines.
On the Sunday of production week, as soon as the movie is done, we erect our set. The walls go where the tape says “wall” and the windows and doors are set on their marked spots. Sometimes things get rearranged, because what looks good on tape does not always work well in performance.
Then we have two nights of tech rehearsals and two dress rehearsals. We place our collective fates in the hands of the Gods of Technology. Lights, soundtrack, special effects, and props. Lights often stop working or become un-programmed for no particular reason. The computer forgets how to interface with the soundboard. Special effects sometimes have no effect.
Props. I have learned to keep two backups for each prop. Props, in the hands of actors who are in the zone, have short life expectancies. I once glued a plastic glass back together on a nightly basis. Every night it was thrown at a wall, and broken.
Why do we do this? For love of the art of theater.
We are a small not-for-profit. We work on a shoestring budget. We have no employees, only volunteers who give of their time and talents to build furniture and sets, create costumes, and learn lines. We even video our own theatrical trailers which are shown before the movies at the theater.
We rely upon the support of our audiences. In our early days we performed at various venues in Dickinson. About ten years ago we moved to the Belfield Theater. Our audiences followed us, and we found new friends in Belfield and the nearby towns.
Our audiences are absolutely the best. They have never let us down. And this weekend we look forward to performing for them once again. “Break a leg!” cast and crew of “Look Who’s Laughing” by John Randall.

The company also warned that tariffs will impact its 2025 earnings by 25 cents a share, with adjusted full-year profit now expected to be between $14.06 a share and $14.34 a share, below the FactSet consensus estimate of $14.43 a share.

TCPalm photojournalist Crystal Vander Weit loves to hike and explore Jonathan Dickinson State Park in Martin County
She moved to Jupiter during her teenage years and from then on
My favorite spot is definitely Hobe Mountain
whether you are watching the sunrise or sunset
The Indian River Lagoon and Atlantic Ocean can be seen from the top and at the end of the day
light flickers over and through the scrub forest as the sun disappears on the horizon
My favorite trail also winds through the area
The 5-mile loop of the green trail is great for exercise and manageable if you don't have time for a full day of hiking
you will be surrounded by a disappearing habitat
It is home to plants and animals found nowhere else
Many of these species are endangered and some are specific only to this park and Florida
It is not uncommon to see Florida scrub jays and the four-petal pawpaw plant
photograph and grab a view of the expansive park from the mountain during an outing
I don't usually bring out my "professional" cameras while hiking
but will use my cell phone to take pictures
I put two images together creating a diptych
Diptychs date back to ancient times and were used in religious panels
the art form is a presentation of two images that compliment each other or tell a story
I also will take trips to the park just to photograph what I love about the park
the Florida scrub jay and the beauty of the sand scrub
I have a Florida State Park individual annual pass which costs $60
$4 single-occupant or motorcycle and $2 for pedestrians
bicyclists or extra passengers for card holders

The Emily Dickinson Museum will celebrate the completion of the reconstructed Carriage House and the reopening of The Evergreens with a special ribbon cutting ceremony on Tuesday
Hosted in partnership with the Amherst Area Chamber of Commerce and the Amherst Business Improvement District (BID)
the ceremony will commemorate a major step forward in the Museum’s long-range restoration plans
The Carriage House, reconstructed to reflect its 19th-century appearance while meeting today’s highest standards for sustainability
is the first passive commercial building in Amherst—and the first passive museum building and historic house reconstruction in the country
and play a key role in enabling the final phase of restoration at the Dickinson Homestead
The Evergreens—home of Emily Dickinson’s brother Austin and his wife Susan—will officially reopen to the public on May 1 after nearly a year of closure during construction
more than two decades in the making,” said Jane Wald
the Jane and Robert Keiter Family Executive Director of the Emily Dickinson Museum
“The Carriage House not only helps us continue to restore Emily Dickinson’s Homestead
but also reflects Dickinson’s deep appreciation for the natural world through our commitment to environmental stewardship.”
Additional Upcoming Event: In addition to the ribbon cutting, the Museum will host its annual Poetry Walk through downtown Amherst on Saturday, May 10, in honor of the 139th anniversary of Emily Dickinson’s death. This beloved tradition is free and open to all. Learn more at EmilyDickinsonMuseum.org/poetry-walk-2025

DICKINSON — To recognize the critical role of assistive technology
April 30 as Assistive Technology Awareness Day
hosted one of several events held across the state
educating attendees about tools designed to support independence
was on site with a wide range of items that help improve people’s daily lives
“Everybody deserves to have as much independence as possible,” said Wanner
responding to a question about why assistive technology matters
“If we can give them a weighted spoon or a plate guard
that can make it possible once again for them to go eat out with their family at a restaurant
Janelle Stoneking serves as vice president of the board for North Dakota Assistive
the definition of assistive technology covers a broad spectrum of devices
“We need to normalize the process of assistive technology because in reality
everyone uses assistive technology in one way or another,” said Stoneking
“From Apple Watches to rocker switches for lights
assistive technology is all about approaching a process so that everyone is successful.”
Stoneking described the increased freedom and quality of life many users experience
She demonstrated a cup carrier designed for individuals with tremors to reduce spills
and described how a sticker decal applied to a door helped a woman with dementia remain in her home for an extra year and a half
and the stickers made the door look like a bookshelf instead of a door,” said Stoneking
“That one simple change gave her an extra year and a half in her home.”
Wanner said the Bismarck hub for North Dakota Assistive offers a full range of items individuals can try out
including electronic devices preloaded with the Proloquo app
“Devices and apps can be so expensive,” said Wanner
people can see if something will be a good fit for them before they spend that much money.”
event also toured the Universal Changing Place (UCP) restroom in the T-Rex Plaza
some individuals with disabilities had to travel home just to use the restroom
Many still face barriers after swimming at public pools—unable to change clothes because existing restrooms
“This is a game changer,” said Carlie Jahner
The UCP is available to book online at no cost

DICKINSON — A 32-year-old Dickinson man is facing a felony charge after allegedly posting an anonymous threat to assassinate local officials in a Facebook group used widely by city residents to air grievances and exchange opinions
Austin Stengel was arrested April 22 and charged with one Class C felony count of terrorizing
following a March 30 comment he allegedly posted in the community Facebook group “What’s Up Dickinson."
“Assassinate one by one N show them we the people are still in charge F.A.F.O.,” the comment read
which stands for “f*** around and find out,” is widely used online to suggest that provocative actions may lead to serious consequences
Although the comment was posted without a name
law enforcement officials were able to trace it back to Stengel during the course of their investigation
Stengel was taken into custody after a warrant was issued and is currently being held at the Southwest Multi-County Correctional Center on a $10,000 cash bond
To avoid any potential or perceived conflict of interest
the Stark County State’s Attorney’s Office referred the case to Adams County State’s Attorney Aaron Roseland
Stengel is represented by public defender Jodi Lynn Colling of Mandan
he will be required to waive extradition to North Dakota and must remain at least 100 feet away from all government buildings unless granted prior permission
His preliminary hearing and arraignment are scheduled for June 9 at 2:30 p.m
“What’s Up Dickinson,” where the alleged threat was posted
serves as a digital town square for many local residents
the Facebook group is known for lively — and at times contentious — commentary on local issues
from potholes and property taxes to government transparency
a person commits terrorizing if they threaten to commit any crime of violence with intent to instill fear or cause disruption
A Class C felony carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $10,000 fine
“We needed a second rink for 200-plus kids
and now here we are with two rinks and we've more than doubled that number already,” Dallas Kuntz
Initial renderings and committee planning for a third rink began before 2020
with plans to build the new sheet on the northwest side of the existing Charbonneau Arena
the COVID-19 pandemic brought those plans to a halt
“That committee is still intact and the conversations are still happening
but ultimately it boils down to funding,” Kuntz said
it's gotten a lot more expensive even just to build a basic sheet of ice.”
Comparable projects across North Dakota show what Dickinson might expect
the MAYSA Arena’s third rink expansion — completed in 2016 — cost $10.9 million
the VFW Sports Center in Bismarck recently added a third rink
These numbers reflect the rising cost of labor and materials
particularly in a state where weather often limits construction to spring and summer
draws in participants from surrounding counties in the southwest corner of North Dakota
serves a regional base of nearly 35,000 people
With no other multi-rink ice centers in immediate proximity
the West River Ice Center functions as the only arena for aspiring players to step on the ice.
“We kind of view it like we do all the recreational amenities across the community
We're always trying to balance what needs we can fulfill across the entire community versus just one location,” Benjamin Rae
executive director of Dickinson Parks and Recreation
“I would say that a third sheet of ice is one of many different facilities that we're looking at to determine what's going to have the greatest impact on our community.”
“One big thing that's going to be important for us to make this third rink happen is if we want community support
there have to be elements besides hockey that the facility is used for,” he said
which would connect to our main Charbonneau rink
would give our region the ability to host much bigger events
because that rink would not keep ice year round.”
The 2014 Cornerstone Arena expansion was funded through a city bond
repaid by the hockey club and Parks and Recreation
A similar public-private model is being considered for this new addition
“As we sit down and work with the hockey club on their financial involvement — and certainly there would probably be a fundraising effort through the community — we’re also considering what we’d be asking from our citizens,” Rae said
“We did a fairly comprehensive survey in 2023 of what amenities the community wanted
and a third sheet of ice was on that list.”
Kuntz and the Dickinson hockey community believes Dickinson is ready for that next step
A hockey season is probably longer than most other sports
but our hockey community — we all convene under one roof every week for practice,” he said
“Our hockey membership and families — and even past families in our community — are so supportive
They understand what it takes to grow a good program and give kids the opportunity to play.”
“I know I speak for every other community in the West — we want western North Dakota hockey to grow and get better
because it's going to force us to get better as well

airtight construction and high-performance windows
Museum officials said they expect to win certification from the Passive House Institute US Inc.
making it the first such commercial building in Amherst
as well as the “first passive museum building and passive historic house reconstruction in the country.”
Archeologists previously obtained artifacts from the carriage house site

“It was used as a storage area or an outdoor closet where the family would just put things they’re no longer using,” Wald said
“reflects Dickinson’s regard for the natural world and the inspiration she drew from it,” Wald said
The house will first function as a visitors center and museum store
while the main homestead will be restored to its original functions

“There’s an understanding in the museum world that more funds are now not going to be available,” she said
we need to assess what the impact will be.”
Wald said that recent scholarly work on the poet has included a focus on “class and privilege” and “ecologies,” or her relationship with the natural world

IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson took part in the Musicians Institute's MI Conversation Series with host Ryan J
Dickinson spoke about the fan response to his latest solo album
Bruce said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Yeah
The reaction to the band when we toured all through Europe [last year] was fantastic
we just did two or three shows here in Southern California [in April 2024] just to kind of warm things up before we went down to Brazil… But
not everybody is gonna get everything you do — it's not compulsory — but I thought it was a really good
a couple of tracks [from the album] that we didn't play — well
we've never actually played — we're gonna be playing on the U.S
which is the most unplayed popular track on the record
and all the people in Europe will be jealous."
Speaking about his upcoming "The Mandrake Project Live 2025" North American tour
Dickinson said: "We're gonna have a lot of fun on this tour coming [up]
California] and two shows at the Whisky [A Go Go in West Hollywood
California in April 2024] as THE HOUSE BAND OF HELL
We're still undecided whether or not to call ourselves 'Bruce Dickinson'
Regarding a possible follow-up to "The Mandrake Project"
Bruce said: "I've just been in the demo studio with everybody for the last three weeks
and we ended up with 18 tracks in 15 days…
"It's gonna be a really cool album," he added
We started off with him doing the Atmos mixes and then kind of morphed into
'I take it you do stereo as well.' And he's great
April is kind of free zone for me next year."
"The Mandrake Project Live 2025" North American tour kicks off in Anaheim
California at the House of Blues on August 22 and takes the band across North America including shows in New York
The tour also includes a quick return to Brazil for the prestigious The Town festival at the City Of Light in São Paulo
Roy played guitar on Dickinson's 1994 album "Balls To Picasso" and went on to produce
co-write and perform multiple instruments on Bruce's subsequent three solo albums
"Accident At Birth" (1997),"The Chemical Wedding" (1998) and "Tyranny Of Souls" (2005)
O'Callaghan is an Irish musician who joined WHITESNAKE in 2021 and toured with the David Coverdale-fronted outfit the following year

Some say the space is perfect for cross-country skiing in winter
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the area’s rich plant variety
offering students opportunities to study species identification—ideal for botany or range management

Law firms Cooper Masterman and Anapol Weiss
District Court for the Southern District of Texas in Galveston on behalf of a teenage girl who they allege was groomed for three years through Roblox and Discord before she was sexually assaulted last year
Attorneys Wednesday filed a complaint against two technology firms in federal court on behalf of a Dickinson teenager who they allege was sexually assaulted by a predator who groomed and sexually exploited her through online social platforms
Washington D.C.-based law firm Cooper Masterman and Anapol Weiss
Discord is an instant messaging and voice communication social platform
Communication can be private or take place in virtual communities called servers
Roblox is an online game platform and game creation system aimed at young users
Spokeswomen for both technology firms said the companies can’t comment on pending litigation
but asserted each is deeply committed to the safety of its users
Galveston County Sheriff Jimmy Fullen confirmed the girl in the complaint was from Dickinson and the accused man
Wilment is at large and wanted for aggravated sexual assault of a child in connection to the Dickinson girl’s allegations
The sheriff’s office is seeking help from the U.S
Marshals Service because Wilment is in Canada
The lawsuit alleges Wilment groomed the girl starting at age 13
before sexually assaulting her when she was 16
Wilment and the girl exchanged sexually explicit images with Roblox and Discord
“This abuse escalated to a situation that is every parent’s worst nightmare: an in-person meeting in the fall of 2024 when the predator traveled to plaintiff’s house and
slept in her room with her,” according to the complaint
the predator had vaginal sexual intercourse with plaintiff and recorded the sexual acts on his cellular device.”
A report to the police was made “pretty close in time to the assault itself,” said Tito Valdes
because events such as described in the lawsuit are common on their products
to spread the word about the firm’s concern with respect to what we’re noticing in terms of the clear predatory and grooming behaviors on a lot of different social media platforms
but obviously to include Roblox and Discord,” Valdes said
“We are actively investigating hundreds of cases that we get on a regular basis
we have filed three lawsuits with similar fact patterns
we are actively investigating the cases as we get them.”
The complaint alleges Roblox and Discord knew of the dangers posed by their platforms and failed to implement the safety mechanisms to prevent exploitation
Despite marketing themselves as child friendly and safe
the companies allegedly prioritized user growth and engagement over meaningful protections
A Discord spokeswoman said the company takes “decisive actions” when policy violations are detected
shutting down servers and engaging with law enforcement as appropriate
Roblox continues to evolve its safety practices to ensure a secure and positive environment on the platform
“We invest significant resources in advanced technology
including robust filters and human moderation teams
to detect and address inappropriate content and behavior and do not allow user-to-user image sharing on our platform,” the spokeswoman said
The Texas-based complaint comes as the New Jersey Attorney General and the state of Florida have taken legal action against Discord and Roblox
The New Jersey Attorney General’s Office on April 17 filed a consumer protection lawsuit against Discord
describing the platform as a “hunting ground for predators.”
the state of Florida has issued a subpoena against Roblox as part of its own investigation into platform safety and corporate accountability
