Though many say they are thankful to have Social Security payments at all, they aren't enough to fill the gap. To help pay the bills, nearly 80% of retirees receive some Social Security income, per BI's calculations, and the Social Security Administration estimates that 97% of older adults will ultimately receive benefits. She told BI that her expected $2,000 monthly Social Security payments may not be enough. As pensions dissipate and only higher-earning retirees have savings, Social Security might only become more pivotal for retirees.

The off-duty Alaska Airlines pilot accused of trying to shut down the engines of an airborne plane last year spoke on the incident for the first time. The plane, Flight 2059 operated by Alaska Airlines subsidiary Horizon Air, was traveling from Everett, Washington, to San Francisco and was diverted to Portland. "I did something unfathomable to me, something I have to take responsibility for and I regret," he said. "There was a feeling of being trapped, like am I trapped in this airplane?" Emerson was initially charged with more than 80 counts of attempted murder, but those charges where reduced to reckless endangerment.

Pragyan made 23 measurements as it rolled along a 338-feet (103-meter) region of the lunar surface, located within 164 feet (50 meters) of Chandrayaan-3’s landing site, for about 10 days. The rover’s data marks the first measurements of elements within lunar soil near the south polar region. NASAThe first lunar samples collected during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969 led researchers to the theory that the moon was once a molten ball of magma. The Pragyan rover, seen on Earth before being sent to the moon on Chandrayaan-3, used analytical tools to study lunar soil. APXSPOC, PRLPersistent lunar mysteriesThe mission proves why it is crucial to send spacecraft to different lunar regions to understand the history of the moon, Vadawale said.

Let’s say you learned to tell time on a simple, round analog clock, with 12 big numbers and two hands. The Olympic Games present a mind-bending puzzle: What if, between each of those big numbers, there were scores of smaller numbers? And what if, between the smaller numbers, there were hundreds more numbers? The American sprinter Noah Lyles won the men’s 100-meter dash by 0.005 of a second. Kenny Bednarek of the United States won a silver medal after running the 200 in 19.62 seconds; Letsile Tebogo of Botswana won gold by finishing 0.16 of a second faster.

Around six years ago, married couple Christina, 37, and Noah, 35, took $10,000 out of the bank. After the massive withdrawal, the money continued to sit — in cash — in their closet for another three years. Noah, on the other hand, is comfortable with what they have and hesitant to spend any money beyond what they absolutely need to. "I think you have a dramatic miscalibration with what a lot of money means," Sethi told them. But sometimes you just need to take an honest look at the numbers," Sethi told her.
