A California teenager claimed over $600,000 after winning the lottery twice in a single week in April. Rosa Dominguez’s two $5 scratchoff tickets made her $555,555 and $100,000.

Angéla Lorio, 43, and John Paul Lorio, 4 HOW HEALTH CARE AFFECTS THEM Lorio was uninsured when she gave birth to John Paul at 27 weeks. He was born with tracheomalacia, intraventricular hemorrhage and developmental delays. They are now covered by Medicaid, which pays for the equipment and nursing that allows John Paul to live at home. WHAT THEY’RE DOING ABOUT IT Even though she’s a Republican who voted for Trump, Lorio has organized sit-ins against the GOP’s proposed Medicaid cuts. “There’s nothing like a mama bear coming at you for her cub,” she says. Angéla Lorio never thought she would have a friend like Jessica Michot. Lorio is a Republican who once trained to be a nun. Michot is a Democrat who went to school to be a social…

THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT A POLAROID. THOSE FUNKY COLORS, the depth of the light and, of course, that classic white border are all part of what make the instant snaps instantly recognizable. Sure, the photos are sometimes flawed, but that’s just part of their charm. Polaroid, the company, entered bankruptcy more than a decade ago and never fully recovered as the number of smartphones with ever better lenses continued to grow. But even as phones displaced traditional cameras for the majority of amateur photographers, they left something missing: rarely do we print our digital photos anymore. The cloud is great for storing pictures but can make it difficult to find memories—especially with bountiful storage and the unlimited shots of digital photography. Which may explain the recent resurgence of Polaroidlike instant cameras.…

DO YOU KNOW WHAT WE SHOULD DO THE NEXT TIME A clutch of male Republican Senators decide it’s O.K. to go behind closed doors and rewrite the entire country’s health care plan without a single woman in the room? Send Selina Meyer over there in her stilettos to give them a piece of our minds in language they might understand. I know, she’s a narcissistic, foulmouthed fictional ex- President on an HBO series, but I think it’s time for women to take a page from the Meyer playbook. We’ve been tying ourselves up in knots trying to be ambitious but likable, feminine but not too sexual, tough but not bitchy. And all of this rule-following isn’t working. Women still occupy less than 25% of the seats in Congress. Just look…

IN IRELAND, SOFT POWER IS USUALLY SERVED up in a pint glass. World leaders visiting the country can expect to be treated to a Guinness by the Taoiseach (a.k.a. Prime Minister) during the obligatory photo op inside a genuine Irish pub. But when Ireland’s new Taoiseach, Leo Varadkar, welcomed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to Dublin in early July, he broke with tradition. Instead of clinking pints of the black stuff in a dimly lit bar, Varadkar invited fitness fanatic Trudeau to don his running shoes and go for a jog in a local park. The unorthodox meeting wasn’t just a photo op, the new Prime Minister insists, sitting in his Dublin office on July 7. The jog also allowed him to talk freely with his Canadian counterpart away from…

A TRULY GREAT MEAL IS ABOUT SO MUCH more than the flavors that touch our tongues—including the napkins, the lighting, the company we’re with. In Gastrophysics: The New Science of Eating, University of Oxford psychology professor Charles Spence examines the way our five senses, as well as our emotional states and expectations, influence how we experience food. Drawing on his own research and others’, Spence offers simple adjustments that can enhance dining pleasure. Decorate your surroundings. The secret ingredient to your signature lasagna can be how you set the table. When researchers set up two dining areas—one with Italian posters and checkered tablecloths, and one with white tablecloths and plain walls—patrons in the decorated setting judged the pasta dishes to be more authentically Italian than those in the neutral setting.…

What is your first impression of the girls and this camp? Seeing how hot it is, the lack of electricity, the lack of facilities—it’s quite a lot to live here. But then seeing these girls who still have the courage to continue their education and to have dreams. These people wanted to change their community, they wanted to change their education, and they wanted to rebuild their communities. ISIS has been defeated inMosul, but it doesn’t mean these girls are going home. What are some of the challenges that you faced in Pakistan that you see here? The first thing is a lack of investment, because many governments and people are treated as short-term. There are no schools. Syrian refugees have been away from their homes for more than five…

CONOR MCGREGOR, MMA star, taunting Floyd Mayweather while promoting their upcoming Aug. 26 fight; his remarks were widely criticized as racially insensitive ROAD WARRIORS: More than 2 million people gathered at an antigovernment rally in Istanbul on July 9 to mark the end of a three-week “justice march” from Ankara led by Turkish opposition leader Kemal Kilicdaroglu.

FOR MANY, FRANCE’S BASTILLE DAY (July 14) is a time to recall that nation’s revolutionary past and the storming of the Parisian prison that gives the fete its English name. But while the French Revolution may call to mind scenes of terror and guillotines, on the first anniversary of the 1789 events at the Bastille, revolutionaries and royals celebrated side by side. Amid the summer of 1790’s relative calm, July 14 seemed like a good day to celebrate the new constitutional monarchy. A festival was planned in Paris, and men, women and children of all classes volunteered alongside hired laborers to build an amphitheater, a triple triumphal arch and a ceremonial altar. On the big day, the Marquis de Lafayette, at the height of his revolutionary acclaim, led a march…

1Yoga can change your genes YOGA AND MEDITATION CAN DO MORE THAN just help you feel relaxed in the moment. New research published in the journal Frontiers in Immunology shows that they can actually reverse stress-related changes in genes linked to poor health and depression. After analyzing 18 published studies on the biological effects of meditation, yoga, breathing exercises, qigong and tai chi, researchers found that these mindbody exercises appear to quiet the activity of genes that promote inflammation. Too much psychological stress can cause inflammation in the body, and when stress goes unchecked, the inflammatory response can become chronic and impair both physical and mental health. People who experienced stress but practiced these mind-body activities regularly had fewer biological signs of inflammation, signaling a reversal of the effects of…

Your character gets turned on to new music from iPods he finds in stolen cars. Who has influenced your taste?Eve Beglarian, a composer and friend of my mother’s, made me my first iPod [playlist]. One of the songs was “Easy” by the Commodores. The auditions for Baby Driver weren’t going well, and [director] Edgar Wright said, “Do you know any songs that you know every word, guitar lick, drum fill?” I remembered “Easy.” He said, “When you’re ready, I want you to lip-sync.” He told me that that is what got me the role. I guess I have to thank Eve. At times the movie plays like a very sophisticated music video. They filmed very rhythmically. If I wasn’t wearing earbuds, I was wearing an earwig—like a radio, but it’s…

JOSHUA COHEN HAS BECOME one of America’s top young novelists with his fiction that draws on biblical stories, including Witz (2010) and Book of Numbers (2015), both twists on classic Jewish themes. His new novel, Moving Kings, is the tale of a modern-day King David: a moving and storage magnate named David King. He’s a sad clown with blue collar sensibilities and white collar bank accounts. And though the characters may not be particularly erudite, Cohen’s writing is filled with sharp turns of phrase and elegant rhythms. David is “local color, just out of his locale,” at a high-society party: “They probably thought he was physically tough. They probably thought he was in with the mob.” Cohen’s cadence is inflected with Hebrew, a language that David defines as “the speech…
