just now (808+ words) KUALA LUMPUR: Behind every success is a great support system, especially if someone is going through the rigorous process of earning a PhD. More so if they do not have the same capabilities as everyone else. Dr Noorilham Ismail, 35, who is visually impaired, said it was thanks to the help he got that he had managed to complete his PhD.

just now (1899+ words) Is it possible to live comfortably in retirement on Social Security income alone? Alden and Dena Swartz draw nearly $4,000 a month from Social Security, the government program designed to support Americans in retirement. And they are struggling. Gail Randle and her partner, Mike DellaVolpe, collect only $2,400 a month in Social Security benefits: Not quite $30,000 a year. And they are doing all right. "We are frugal people," said Randle, 73. "Almost everything in our house is recycled. Used, you know? Thrifted. But it looks nice. Everything works." Social Security was never intended to fund the full cost of retirement. On average, the benefit covers about 40% of a worker's preretirement earnings. And that figure could drop: Social Security will face a shortfall by 2035, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Most Americans think you need at least $1 million in the bank, on top of…...

Of course, the biggest centerpiece of the Aldeans' Bahamas home is unchanged. That's the ocean right outside their windows, complete with a sprawling deck to enjoy the views. The video…...
