I gol dopo l'80esimo, l'Italia che parte alla grande e poi non onora la terza partita facendo riposare 8/11 dei titolari. La rivincita delle piccole, il sogno dell'Islanda e la difficoltà delle grandi. Le deludenti Inghilterra e Portogallo. I campi da gioco in condizioni pessime. La solita Spagna e la solita Germania. Il tifo dei francesi. L'Ungheria prima del suo girone fa subito 1916. Il pallone scoppiato. Gareth Bale al cubo e le capigliature da podio nel ranking FIFA dei giocatori del belgio a Euro 2016, in attesa degli ottavi di finale con il tabellone diviso equamente tra le sfide tra l'Olimpo del calcio mondiale e quelle tra scapoli contro ammogliati.

In this graphic the spatial coverage of points represents all cities included in the final dataset. Cities recording the earliest first population data point are pictured in red and are centered near Mesopotamia, while cities with the most recent first population data point are pictured in dark blue. It is important to note that the first population point for each city does not necessarily indicate its origin as a city.

I crossed the yard, climbed the couple of steps on the side of the Winnebago, and prepared to knock. Ali opened the door before I got the chance. I’d forgotten how huge he is. His presence filled the doorway. He had to lean under the frame to see me.

I felt no nervousness. Ali's face, in many ways, is as familiar to me as my father's. His skin remained unmarked, his countenance had nearly perfect symmetry. Yet something was different: Ali was no longer the world’s prettiest man. This was only partly related to his illness; it was also because he was heavier than he needed to be. He remained handsome, but in the way of a youngish granddad who tells stories about how he could have been a movie star, if he'd wanted. His pulchritude used to challenge us; now he looked a bit more like us, and less like an avatar sent by Allah.

The race was on to produce a paper bag that was both sturdy and easy to make. In 1852, the American Francis Wolle received the first patent for a paper-bag machine. It used steam and paste to create bags in the shape of envelopes. Though the machine became popular, the bags it produced were cumbersome and of limited use – picture a load of groceries in a large envelope-shaped sack. Still, they were better than nothing at all, and factories producing the bags multiplied. In the late 1860s, Margaret Knight, a tall, endlessly inquisitive and hard-working New Englander, went to work for the Columbia Paper Bag Company in Springfield, Massachusetts. Within a few years, her ingenious designs would revolutionise the industry.

By the time she joined the Columbia Paper Bag Company as a lowly factory worker, the 30-something, unmarried Knight had spent years as a 'Jill-of-all-trades', becoming proficient in daguerreotype, photography, engraving, house repair and upholstering. Spending long hours at the factory, she soon heard of current efforts to create a machine that could efficiently manufacture flat-bottomed paper bags. 'I am told that there is no such machine known as a square-bottomed machine,' she wrote in her journal. 'I mean to try away at it until I get my ideas worked out.' Independent of the factory and without her bosses' knowledge, Knight began to study the issue intently.
