September 12, 2026 Good morning. Melissa Kirsch is taking the day off. Pinch-hitting is Jancee Dunn, the host of our Well newsletter (sign up here to get it delivered to your inbox). She wants to take you for a walk. Walk this way By Jancee Dunn My average daily step count so far this year is 10,975. Fall is prime walking season: the cooling air, the changing colors. I have made a vow to take a good, substantial walk every day until hibernation season kicks in. Sometimes I have to be creative to get myself out the door. So I’ve come up with some go-to themes for my walks. For example: The Rage Walk. The other day, I was irked after I had been on hold with the I.R.S. for over an hour and laced up my sneakers. After I stomped around for a while, I eventually got distracted by my neighbor’s dahlias and found my anger had subsided. I make a point to take walks to savor happy feelings as well; on the recent news from my mom that her cancer is in remission, I took a peaceful, meandering morning stroll in a park near my house and listened to the birds sing. The Melancholy Walk. Putting one foot in front of the other has been shown to reduce depression and anxiety. My daughter is headed to college next year, and I’m already glum about it. I find a nighttime stroll, looking up at the moon with Lana Del Rey in my earbuds, allows me to wallow a bit in feelings of loss, work through them a little, and maybe even see the beauty in some endings. The Issue Walk. There’s something about perambulation that helps me work out my problems. My best friend and I have a ritual: If one of us is wrestling with some sort of dilemma, we’ll schedule a walk and hash it out. I’m in New Jersey and she’s in New York City, so we do it via earbuds. We’ll march along briskly, our walk providing a little forward momentum that makes us feel more confident and capable. Walktivity Sometimes I simply ask myself: Can I turn this activity into a walk? My boss and I have done our weekly check-in walking around the block outside the office. Next week I’ve scheduled a catch-up call with a former teacher who lives in another state, and I plan to do it while on the move. When I have time, I walk to the post office instead of driving. I used to meet a friend I’ve known since the Clinton administration for regular lunch dates. After she canceled several times in a row, I (gently) asked what was up. She explained that money was tight and she just couldn’t swing eating out that much anymore. So I proposed a walk instead. Our meandering walk-and-talks, it turns out, are much livelier than sitting in a restaurant. I’ve floated this idea to a few other friends in lieu of dates with price tags; no one has refused me yet. It’s good for you Walking has been shown to lower risk for many types of cancer and heart disease. Research suggests it can ease lower back pain, and also build and maintain strong bones. And if you’re seeking connection, a walk is a low-key way to put yourself out there and meet people. I’ve found that if someone has a dog or a young child, it’s particularly easy to strike up a chat. When I encounter a pup, I might ask, “Is your dog usually this beautifully behaved?” Inevitably, the reply will be “God, no,” followed by a tale of mayhem. I’ve found that toddlers crave power and respect; greeting them with “sir” or “madam” and a slight bow often thrills them. Or I might ask the child’s opinion on what I should have for my next meal (chicken nuggets and pizza are the front-runners). I love that walking is accessible for all ages. I find I can extract more information from my teenager on a long ramble, and indeed there is research suggesting communication is easier when you’re walking side by side, with little eye contact, rather than face to face. My father is 84 and likes to drop by my place for lunch. We used to sit in the kitchen and chat after eating. Now, I try to coax him outside for a stroll. Last week, he resisted because it was rainy, so I told him I wouldn’t divulge a delicious piece of family gossip unless we did a few laps around the block. Dad likes to pretend that he’s above gossip, but he’s not. His mouth pursed in disapproval, he stood up, put on his cap and headed for the door. Sign up for Jancee's weekly newsletter, Well.

Pool photo by Hiroko Masuike All four living ex-presidents gathered in Manhattan for a ceremony to mark the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. President Trump spoke at the Pentagon. Rudy Giuliani had called on Mayor Zohran Mamdani to skip the Manhattan memorial. But the two ended up shaking hands at the event. “I’ll pray for you,” Giuliani appeared to say. “It’s a really hard job.” Trump, who has long railed against the so-called forever wars that followed 9/11, used his speech at the Pentagon ceremony to justify his military action in Iran. Americans who enlisted in the military because of the attacks spoke about how that decision shaped their lives. Chang W. Lee, a longtime Times photographer, captured an indelible image of that day: the collapse of the north tower. In the video below, he describes how he did it. Click to play.

You don’t necessarily need to pay for more cloud storage. Instead, spend 10 to 15 minutes each month freeing up space. Start by deleting any apps you no longer want or need; your settings menu can make this process easier by pulling up your least-used apps. Photos and videos eat up tons of space, so delete any unnecessary duplicates, screenshots or screen recordings. Consider setting your text messages to auto-delete after a designated amount of time. And, finally, remove any downloads (say, of TV shows or podcast episodes) that you’ve already streamed or know you’ll never get around to. — Brenda Stolyar NOW TIME TO PLAY Here is today’s Spelling Bee.

Here is the EGW passage in which, comparing the KJV and ERV, she described the ERV as the true version: "When Christ told Peter that unless he submitted to this service, he could have no part with him, Peter surrendered his pride and self will. This can never, never be. He was all broken up at the thought, and exclaimed, "Not my feet only, but also my hands and my head." Jesus had a lesson, deep, full, and significant: "He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all." The true version reads, "He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet." That lesson comprehended more than bodily cleansing." R&H July 5, 1898 I hope you understand. EGW called the version [ERV] based on the Wescott & Hort text the "true version" contra the KJV. John 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is bathed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. ERV John 13:10 Jesus saith to him, He that is washed needeth not save to wash his feet, but is clean every whit: and ye are clean, but not all. 11For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean.

Full of Hot Air View in browser Just call it the Five-Grand Old Party. This week, at the Republican Party’s midterm faux-convention, President Trump announced something called (inevitably) the “Trump Dividend.” The premise is simple. “If the Republicans win the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, both of them,” Trump said, “I will issue a dividend to every adult citizen in the United States of America for $5,000.” Problems abound. First, this is wildly inappropriate, for obvious reasons: It’s an attempt at using taxpayer money to bribe voters into supporting the president’s party. Because Trump is not premising the supposed payout on individuals’ votes, it might be legal, though the White House would presumably require congressional approval for the estimated $1.3 trillion cost. A Republican Congress might sign off; a Democratic one might be more inclined to start impeachment proceedings. Second, the payments almost certainly won’t happen. (If you disagree, I’d be happy to sell you a nice bridge in Brooklyn if you sign your Trump Dividend over to me.) Trump has promised to cut checks to Americans before and not followed through, and this proposal appeared to catch many of Trump’s advisers, as well as Republican lawmakers, by surprise. Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, Trump’s rival for the 2024 GOP nomination, quickly criticized the pledge. Third, injecting more than $1 trillion into the economy wouldn’t just blow up the deficit and national debt—it would also drive up prices. Giving every American $5,000 to spend would create demand that couldn’t immediately be met, encouraging sellers to raise prices. I could quote lots of economists from left, right, and center who have already said that the payouts would be inflationary, but you could also just take it from Trump himself, who has repeatedly blamed inflation on high spending during the Biden administration—including in the same speech where he floated the dividend. A paradox of this moment is that inflation is a big reason for Trump’s cratering approval and his party’s sinking odds in the midterm elections, but nearly every one of his signature policy ideas is inflationary. The basic challenge is not novel to this president—voters hate inflation, yet most anti-inflation measures the government can take will hurt the economy, which voters also hate. But Trump’s strategy seems to be to commit to new proposals that would drive up costs. In some cases, inflation is incidental to the president’s goal. When Trump launched the war in Iran, he apparently believed that it would end quickly—and might even result in the United States gaining control over Iran’s huge oil reserves. Instead, the war is dragging on into its seventh month, with no end in sight. The de facto closure of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as attacks in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, have strangled shipping of oil as well as other goods, driving prices higher. The average price of a gallon of diesel fuel in the U.S. topped $6 today for the first time, and because so many goods move via diesel trucks, the rise drives further inflation. Trump’s efforts to crack down on immigration also have the collateral effect of pushing prices up. The administration has not only tried to secure borders and deport unauthorized immigrants; it has also revoked legal status from more than 1 million people who were permitted to live and work in the United States under Temporary Protected Status. Many of these people were employed in industries such as construction and health care that are difficult and low-paid; for example, more than 20,000 Haitians with TPS worked in caregiving last year. Housing shortages plague many parts of the country, and more building could alleviate them. Perhaps Americans will be willing to take these difficult jobs, but with unemployment rates already low, that will likely require higher salaries—which will mean higher costs, and therefore higher prices. Other Trump policy ideas are directly and explicitly inflationary. For decades, Trump has espoused protectionism, saying that the United States should impose tariffs in order to close trade deficits with some partners. Regardless of the other merits of this plan (and they are dubious at best), tariffs are by definition inflationary. The goal is to raise prices on certain products. A tariff is a tax on goods, and someone has to pay it. Faced with economic headwinds and voter dissatisfaction, Trump has at many times dismissed voter concerns, but he has also pressured the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. Trump attempted to oust former Fed Chair Jerome Powell and the board member Lisa Cook, and made clear that he expects his newly appointed chair, Kevin Warsh, to lower rates. By law, the Fed is required to promote maximum employment and stable prices. (It aims for 2 percent inflation.) Trump wants lower interest rates because they encourage economic growth, but they drive inflation for the same reasons: Lower rates encourage borrowing, which produces spending, which has a similar effect on prices as sending every American adult a $5,000 check. Writing off Trump’s pursuit of inflationary ideas as cynical is tempting, if only because so much of what he does is cynical, but years of evidence suggest that Trump actually has little idea how economics works, as the journalist Steve Benen recently noted. The president’s obsession with trade deficits is nonsensical; Senator Rand Paul memorably quipped that because he gives money to his grocer and gets food in return, he’s running a trade deficit with the supermarket. Last week, Trump perplexingly suggested that the United States could simply cut off commerce entirely: “We could do tremendous good for ourselves by just not trading with countries.” Perhaps Trump doesn’t understand that his ideas will drive up prices. Perhaps he does, but concludes that dangling free money in front of voters is worth the hit. Either way, new numbers released today show that inflation rose 3.4 percent from one year ago. Trump’s policies are working. Related: Trump doesn’t want to fight inflation. Trump is asking the private sector to save him.

YouTube doesn't work either. How about just writing down the source of the material you viewed? You must be quite a Greek scholar to make such a statement, that the Alexandrian version is corrupted. You know, of course that EGW at times preferred the ERV, which she referred to as the "true version". "The Greek text followed by these Revisers [ofthe ERV] is of far higher authority than that known and followed by the King James' revisers. Their Greek text was based on manuscripts of the later parts of the Mediaeval Ages, but ours has been Perfected by the discovery of far more ancient manuscripts, and by an abundance of quotations from the early fathers of the Church, and use of ancient versions."

‘America wants beef’ Prices are soaring, and dinner tables are feeling the impact. Omaha Steaks, the pioneering meat delivery company, has a plan to become speedier, leaner and offer cheaper cuts. But it won’t be easy. ps:This reminds me of Walmart saying that they're lowering there prices! Well if you call lowering prices, when after having raised there prices almost $3 on some items, and than lowering $1 on though items, obviously not any truth to those of us that are still paying higher prices!! Another example is: I was paying around $7 for a particular item one week and about two weeks later the item was around $9. Last Friday I went to Walmart and that same item was now $10 for the bag, but the interesting thing is, not only was the price higher, but the bag went from 26 items in the bag to 17 items per bag!! Now that's only one item, there are probably other items with the same thing!!!

That's what photojournalist Spencer Platt was thinking 25 years ago as he photographed the events unfolding on the morning of 9/11. Platt and fellow Getty photographer Mario Tama told Axios' Sarah Grillo what it was like on the ground that day. Tama had just been hired by Getty Images two months before when he got the urgent call from his assignment editor. Rushing out the door of his Lower East Side apartment, he recalled the horror of what he was documenting: "There was definitely some cognitive dissonance — it was totally unfathomable. As I got closer on foot, I came across an office worker being treated on the ground, stunned and bloodied. Seeing blood coming out of his ear made the human toll of what was happening frighteningly real."

1 big thing: Inflation stays hot Data: Bureau of Labor Statistics. Chart: Courtenay Brown/Axios Consumer prices stayed high in August as the Iran war's energy shock fueled a fresh burst of inflation, Axios' Courtenay Brown reports. That's squeezing household budgets, with signs that underlying inflation is proving stubborn across the economy. By the numbers: The Consumer Price Index rose 0.4% in August from the previous month. Prices were up 3.4% from a year earlier, holding steady from July. ⛽️ Gas prices jumped 3.9% in August, accounting for more than a third of the overall monthly increase. Energy prices rose 2.1%. Core inflation also accelerated, with shelter costs gaining 0.3% after a 0.1% increase in July. Airfares rose 2.7%, while vehicle prices were also up. 🏥 Yes, but: Medical care prices fell 0.2%, and motor vehicle insurance dropped 0.8%. The inflation data carries unusual weight ahead of next week's Fed meeting, where policymakers will consider the first interest rate hike in nearly three years. With less than two months before the midterms, renewed inflation pressures could also complicate the Trump administration's efforts to convince voters that affordability is improving. Go deeper.
