What Is the 'Healing Era' Trend and How Does It Relate to Our Faith?

Earlier this year, we met Santi, a senior golden retriever who has found a new purpose in life: raising chickens. We’re here with an update since Santi has expanded his “duties” around the little cabin in the woods. The first batch of chickens that Santi helped with are raising their own chicken families. Santi is still offering his exemplary nanny services to this next generation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Little Cabin That Could |Sarah and Jose (@the.littlecabinthatcould) As the family continues adding new critters to the homestead, Santi is in his element, regardless of the animals’ age or species. He seems to have bonded with all the chickens, from hatchlings to full-grown laying hens. Image from Instagram. In addition to chickens, Santi has made friends with ducks, cats, and even two other dogs. If we’re being honest, he only “tolerates” the puppies. They are rescue animals dumped on the property, so they were absorbed into the family. But Santi’s best friend is a cat named Mila. She is also a rescue. Although Mila isn’t fond of anyone else, she likes Santi. Image from Instagram. According to the Instagram post, Santi might be lobbying for some goats or a donkey in the future. Please wish him luck in his pursuit. He has adapted to “country life” and his renewed purpose as a barnyard animal whisperer. Image from Instagram. If you want to learn more about this family, Santi, and their little cabin in the woods, you can find their story on Instagram. At first, the family wasn’t sure how Santi would react to the move. However, he has made a seamless transition from city life to farm dog life. It was heartwarming to watch his automatic shift into guardian-nanny mode. It seems as if this golden retriever was born to raise chickens! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

An otherwise normal stroll along the beach before Independence Day may have led one New Jersey resident to uncover a brand-new world record for the oldest message in a bottle ever found. The discovery was made on July 3 by Amy Smyth Murphy, who noticed something sticking out of the sand while walking along the shore at Corson’s Inlet State Park."I noticed it because the bottle was like a really nice aqua," the greetings card designer told ABC7 New York.But there may be more to this bottle than a pretty color. The bottle itself says “Barr & Brother Philadelphia”, with bottles from the same company posted to a valuation site dating back to before the turn of the 20th century.Uncorking the bottle – a process which Smyth Murphy documented on TikTok, where she has also posted updates on her research into the bottle’s origins – uncovered papers that suggest a more precise date for the message inside the bottle, and one that could make it a record-breaker.  IFLScience is not responsible for content shared from external sites.The handwritten note inside, accompanied by what appears to be a business card for a furnishing goods company run by a W.G. & J. Klemm, reads: “Yacht Neptune off Atlantic City NJ Aug 6-76”. With these details in hand, delving into the archives of The Philadelphia Inquirer revealed that a company run by W.G. & J. Klemm, two brothers, had in fact existed during the late 1800s. Smyth Murphy’s investigations also found references made in the paper to a yacht named “Neptune” built in 1874 by a Captain Samuel Gale of the nearby Atlantic City.All of these clues have led Smyth Murphy to conclude that the “Aug 6-76” in the note suggests it was written on August 6, 1876.This would make it the oldest message in a bottle ever found, beating the current record-holder, discovered in Australia, by a solid 10 years.Before we get too excited, however, this is the kind of thing that usually needs to be verified by other people, normally Guinness World Records. According to NJ.com, Smyth Murphy has applied for the verification process to take place, but that can take months – so it’ll be a while before we know for sure.As for who wrote the message, that perhaps remains the most difficult of the mysteries to solve. According to Smyth Murphy’s research into Captain Gale, his boat Neptune was a popular pleasure yacht that regularly took passengers out onto the Atlantic City Inlet. Any one of those passengers, or the captain himself, could’ve lobbed the bottle overboard.Even if it’s quite the puzzle to solve, Smyth Murphy seems up for the challenge, telling nj.com: “I really like the mystery. I love the research.”

The Perseids meteor shower continues to be the most popular in the Northern Hemisphere as it peaks in the warmth of August. It is also the most active in this period and one of the most active across the year, consistently delivering spectacles. The peak is happening the night between August 11 and August 12, with a Moon that is almost halfway to full. Not ideal, but good enough for a nice show.At its peak at 14:00 UTC, the shower will produce 100 meteors per hour – but around it, you can see a meteor every minute or so. If the weather is not great, remember that the shower will continue until August 24. However, as the Moon waxes into fullness, the spectacles will get harder to see.This is not the only meteor shower happening at the moment, though: Weaker showers are also active right now, such as the Alpha Capricornids, the Southern Delta Aquariids, and the Kappa Cygnids. The Alpha Capricornids and the Southern Delta Aquariids actually peak at the same time at the end of July.If you want to be specific, there are ways to tell if you have seen a Perseid meteor. First of all, they tend to be faster than the others. You can also try to work out the radiant: Perseids tend to look like they radiate out from the constellation of Perseus, so if you want to find them, finding the constellation is a good step. The constellation is towards the North East. Remember to leave time to let your eyes adjust to the darkness (phone in your pocket please!).        Meteors have been called shooting stars, but have very little to do with stellar objects. They are the leftover grains of dust and ice that comets and asteroids crossing the Earth’s orbit have left behind. This cloud has a variable density, so some years the spectacle is better than others – 2016 had a fantastic peak of 150 meteors per hour.The celestial culprit of the Perseids is none other than the periodic comet Swift-Tuttle. It gets close to the Sun every 133 years, and as it gets close it loses debris as long tails. When the debris is captured by our planet and burns through the atmosphere, we call it a meteor. There is plenty of Comet Swift-Tuttle to go around – the comet is 26 kilometers (16.16 miles) wide. On its next passage in 2126, it will be brightly visible to the naked eye from Earth.The Perseids have been talked about for hundreds of years, becoming a religious symbol, poetic discussion, and a much-anticipated spectacle for the lovers of the night sky.
