#NineMileCanyon "Coyote Placing the Stars" #Petroglyphs

Coyote Placing the Stars covers several vertical surfaes about 100 ft up from the roadway. This is the only #NorthAmerican #RockArt I'm aware of with a direct link to popular #NativeAmerican folklore. There are several versions of this story. Signs at the site indicated the stars fell down and #Coyote placed them back in the sky. Another version says he only re-arranged the stars, placing them into constellations representing his fellow animals.

Note the anthropomorphic figure with a dog shaped head. Also note the grids of small circles representing fields of stars.

“No plus ones, come solo and unaccompanied”: Taylor Swift’s strict etiquette for her wedding to Travis Kelce is causing a crisis among friends and family.

There’s “drama” among Taylor Swift and her future husband Travis Kelce’s friends and family due to a specific request made by the superstar to the guests at the most anticipated wedding of the moment, with Dua Lipa already ready for the altar in Palermo next week, which will take place on July 3rd.

According to the Daily Mail, some guests are considering not attending due to the problematic etiquette rule that would require single women to attend alone. “What am I supposed to do? I’m shy, I don’t know many people, and I’m not friends with Gigi or Bella Hadid,” a wedding guest of the year told the British tabloid, noting that Taylor, repeatedly abandoned by subsequent boyfriends but sporadically single herself, had discriminated against her compared to other happily coupled guests like Selena Gomez, who was admitted to participate with her husband Benny Blanco.

The ban on a “plus one” is in line with what is indicated in the Bible of North American etiquette. In her famous manual on social etiquette, which a century ago codified the rules of American behavior, Emily Post established that only spouses, official boyfriends, and cohabiting partners can be invited to a wedding. The singer and the athlete, both 36 years old, announced their engagement last August after two years of a relationship between tours, games, and training: “Your English teacher and the gym teacher are getting married,” the couple communicated through their respective social media profiles. The location of the wedding is still shrouded in mystery.

It is unclear, in particular, what reason the billionaire Taylor had to renounce her most iconic residences: the megavilla on the Atlantic in Rhode Island and the neoclassical mansion in Nashville, two of the pearls of her vast real estate empire. Among the most credible hypotheses for the New York wedding is the Waldorf Astoria, recently renovated by the Skidmore, Owings & Merrill architecture studio for the Chinese insurance giant Dajia.

The legendary Art Deco hotel boasts a history imbued with charm: this is where John and Jackie Kennedy departed for their honeymoon, and it is always here that Grace Kelly and Prince Rainier of Monaco announced their engagement. Historical references of this caliber can only seduce Taylor Swift.

Everything is still top secret, the Daily Mail wrote, and the high-profile guests – for her, the Hadid sisters, Emma Stone, Lena Dunham, Zoe Kravitz, for him, the football royalty – will only find out where to go on the morning of the scheduled happy event.

Rumors continue to circulate about the designer who will sign the wedding dress: among the most quoted candidates are the British designers Sarah Burton and Stella McCartney. The look would be inspired by the dress worn by Elizabeth Taylor in 1950, on the occasion of her wedding to Conrad Hilton. The legendary diva with violet eyes has, in fact, inspired the title of one of the songs contained in Taylor Swift’s latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl.”

“No +1, come alone and unaccompanied”: The rigid etiquette of Taylor Swift for her wedding with Travis Kelce is putting friends and family in crisis. – *Il Fatto Quotidiano*.

Agi: L'annuncio di Alcaraz: "Non parteciperò a Wimbledon. Non sono ancora pronto"

AGI - Alcaraz assente anche a Wimbledon. "La mia guarigione sta procedendo bene e mi sento molto meglio, ma purtroppo non sono ancora pronto per giocare e quindi devo ritirarmi dalla stagione sull'erba del Queen's e di Wimbledon. Sono due tornei davvero speciali per me e mi mancheranno molto. Continuiamo a lavorare per il mio ritorno il prima possibile". Carlos Alcaraz sul suo profilo Instagram, dopo il forfait a Madrid, Roma e al Roland Garros, annuncia che non parteciperà nemmeno al torneo di Wimbledon, che l'anno scorso lo aveva visto soccombere in finale contro Sinner. 
Alcaraz salterà la stagione sull'erba 
Carlos Alcaraz dunque salterà la stagione sull'erba. Il 23enne spagnolo ha annunciato che il problema al polso che lo tiene ai box da Barcellona non è ancora risolto del tutto e dunque non potrà prendere parte nè al torneo del Queen's, dove era chiamato a difendere il titolo, nè soprattutto a Wimbledon.
Il problema al polso non è ancora risolto 
Infortunatosi al polso destro a metà aprile a Barcellona, l'attuale numero 2 del mondo ha dovuto saltare Madrid e Roma e non prenderà parte nemmeno al Roland Garros dove era campione in carica.
La doppia rinuncia londinese costerà 1.800 punti nel ranking Atp 
La doppia rinuncia londinese gli costerà altri 1800 punti nel ranking Atp, con Jannik Sinner che avrà così la chance di aumentare il gap. Per quanto riguarda il rientro in campo, a questo punto è immaginabile che Alcaraz guardi direttamente alla stagione sul cemento nordamericano. 
Alcaraz: "La rivalità con Sinner spinge a dare il meglio" 
 "Stiamo mostrando al mondo che possiamo stare in campo, dare il massimo e poi, fuori dal campo, essere semplicemente due ragazzi che vanno molto d'accordo. Ci aiutiamo l'un l'altro a tirare fuori il meglio. Lottiamo per lo stesso obiettivo, ma non c'è bisogno di odiarsi solo perché vogliamo la stessa cosa. Quando competi a questo livello, avere un'amicizia stretta è complicato". A parlare della sua rivalità con Jannik Sinner è Carlos Alcaraz, fra i protagonisti del nuovo numero di "Vanity Fair".

Alcaraz’s announcement: “I will not participate in Wimbledon. I’m not yet ready.”

AGI - Alcaraz absent from Wimbledon as well. “My recovery is progressing well and I feel much better, but unfortunately I’m not yet ready to play and therefore I have to withdraw from the Queen’s and Wimbledon grass season. These are two tournaments that are really special for me and I will miss them a lot. We continue to work for my return as soon as possible.” Carlos Alcaraz on his Instagram profile, after withdrawing from Madrid, Rome, and the Roland Garros, announces that he will not participate in the Wimbledon tournament, which last year saw him succumb to defeat in the final against Sinner.

Alcaraz will miss the grass season. The 23-year-old Spaniard has announced that the wrist problem that has kept him out of action since Barcelona has not yet been fully resolved and therefore he will not be able to participate in either the Queen’s tournament, where he was defending the title, or especially Wimbledon.

The wrist problem has not yet been resolved.

Injured in his right wrist in mid-April in Barcelona, the current world number 2 had to miss Madrid and Rome and will not take part in the Roland Garros either, where he was the defending champion.

The double withdrawal in London will cost him 1,800 points in the ATP ranking.

The double withdrawal in London will cost him another 1800 points in the ATP ranking, allowing Jannik Sinner to increase the gap. As for his return to the field, at this point it is imaginable that Alcaraz will directly look at the North American clay season.

Alcaraz: “The rivalry with Sinner pushes us to give our best”

“We are showing the world that we can be on the field, give our best, and then, off the field, we are simply two guys who get along very well. We help each other to bring out the best in ourselves. We fight for the same goal, but there's no need to hate each other just because we want the same thing. When you compete at this level, having a close friendship is complicated.” Carlos Alcaraz spoke about his rivalry with Jannik Sinner, among the protagonists of the latest issue of "Vanity Fair."

Il Tempo: Slitta il rientro di Alcaraz, salterà anche Wimbledon

LONDRA (INGHILTERRA) (ITALPRESS) – Carlos Alcaraz salterà la stagione sull'erba. Il 23enne spagnolo ha annunciato che il problema al polso che lo tiene ai box da Barcellona non è ancora risolto del tutto e dunque non potrà prendere parte nè al torneo del Queen's, dove era chiamato a difendere il titolo, nè soprattutto a Wimbledon, appuntamento che nel 2025 lo vide arrendersi solo in finale a Jannik Sinner. “La mia guarigione sta procedendo bene e mi sento molto meglio, ma purtroppo non sono ancora pronto per poter giocare e per questo devo rinunciare alla stagione sull'erba al Queen's e a Wimbledon – scrive Alcaraz su X – Sono due tornei davvero speciali per me e mi mancheranno tantissimo. Continuiamo a lavorare per tornare il prima possibile”.Infortunatosi al polso destro a metà aprile a Barcellona, l'attuale numero 2 del mondo ha dovuto saltare Madrid e Roma e non prenderà parte nemmeno al Roland Garros dove era campione in carica.

Alcaraz’s return is delayed, he will also miss Wimbledon.

LONDON (ENGLAND) (ITALPRESS) – Carlos Alcaraz will miss the grass season. The 23-year-old Spaniard has announced that the wrist problem that has kept him out of action since Barcelona has not yet been fully resolved and therefore he will not be able to take part in either the Queen’s tournament, where he was due to defend his title, or, more importantly, Wimbledon, an event that in 2025 saw him surrender only in the final to Jannik Sinner. “My recovery is progressing well and I feel much better, but unfortunately I am not yet ready to play and for this I have to give up the grass season at Queen’s and Wimbledon – writes Alcaraz on X – These are two tournaments that are truly special for me and I will miss them very much. We continue to work to return as soon as possible.” Injured in his right wrist in mid-April in Barcelona, the current world number 2 had to skip Madrid and Rome and will not take part in the French Open either, where he was the defending champion. This double forfeit in London will cost him another 1800 points in the ATP ranking, with Jannik Sinner thus having the chance to widen the gap. As for his return to the field, at this point it is conceivable that Alcaraz will look directly to the North American clay season. – photo Ipa Agency –(ITALPRESS).

Il Fatto Quotidiano: “Si è affidato al cardiologo numero uno al mondo”: fan in apprensione per Zayn Malik, stop a interviste e TV dopo il ricovero

Momento delicato per l’ex stella degli One Direction Zayn Malik, che ha deciso di mettere in pausa la promozione del nuovo album Konnakol per concentrarsi completamente sulla sua salute. Una scelta arrivata dopo un ricovero improvviso per una patologia non resa pubblica, proprio nei giorni dell’uscita del disco. Il cantante aveva già allarmato i fan condividendo una foto dal letto d’ospedale: “Sto recuperando inaspettatamente dopo una settimana lunga”, aveva scritto, spiegando di essere dispiaciuto per gli impegni annullati e ringraziando lo staff medico.
Secondo quanto riportato da una fonte a PEOPLE, il trentatreenne ha deciso di seguire un percorso di cure più approfondito e si sta affidando a un “cardiologo numero uno al mondo”. Una scelta che segna un ulteriore passo indietro rispetto agli impegni promozionali, compresa la partecipazione al The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon e alcuni incontri con i fan già programmati.
“Sta ancora affrontando i suoi problemi di salute e sta seguendo le indicazioni dei medici”, ha spiegato la fonte, confermando che la decisione di rinviare le apparizioni televisive è stata presa proprio per motivi clinici. La notizia arriva in un momento particolare della sua carriera: il nuovo album Konnakol è uscito mentre il cantante era già alle prese con il ricovero, e questo ha creato una situazione di evidente difficoltà tra promozione e condizioni fisiche.
Il ritorno già annunciato
Nonostante tutto, Malik ha già annunciato il suo ritorno live con un tour previsto tra giugno e novembre, il primo da headliner nei palazzetti in Nord America. In passato l’ex membro dei One Direction aveva parlato del suo percorso artistico come di un’evoluzione continua, sottolineando anche in un’intervista a Elle India di essere “ancora in crescita” come persona e come musicista. Oggi però la priorità è un’altra: la salute.
L'articolo “Si è affidato al cardiologo numero uno al mondo”: fan in apprensione per Zayn Malik, stop a interviste e TV dopo il ricovero proviene da Il Fatto Quotidiano.

“He entrusted himself to the world’s number one cardiologist”: fans are anxious about Zayn Malik, with a halt to interviews and TV appearances after his hospitalization.

A delicate moment for former One Direction star Zayn Malik, who has decided to put on hold the promotion of his new album Konnakol to focus completely on his health. A decision arrived after an unexpected hospitalization for an undisclosed illness, just in the days of the album’s release. The singer had already alarmed fans by sharing a photo from his hospital bed: “I’m recovering unexpectedly after a long week,” he wrote, explaining his regret for canceled commitments and thanking the medical staff.

According to a source to PEOPLE, the 33-year-old has decided to follow a more in-depth treatment path and is relying on a “number one cardiologist in the world.” This choice marks another step back from promotional commitments, including participation in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and some pre-scheduled fan meetings.

“He is still facing his health problems and is following the advice of doctors,” the source explained, confirming that the decision to postpone television appearances was made for clinical reasons. The news comes at a particular time in his career: the new album Konnakol was released while the singer was already dealing with the hospitalization, and this created a situation of obvious difficulty between promotion and physical condition.

The Already Announced Return

Despite everything, Malik has already announced his return to live performances with a tour planned between June and November, his first as headliner in North American arenas. In the past, the former One Direction member had spoken of his artistic path as a continuous evolution, emphasizing in an interview with Elle India that he was “still growing” as a person and as a musician. Today, however, the priority is another: health.
