The BBC is one of the UK papers with the most misinformation and disinformation. Yet, British censors, such as the Global Disinformation Index, have no problem with them, even as they blacklist US and EU independent and conservative publications. Take the story about David Haines as an example. David Haines was a Scottish aid worker who […] The post BBC: Tribute to Aid Worker Beheaded by “So-Called ISIS Terrorists” appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

Everyone deserves access to a safe place to rest their heads at night. Unfortunately, this is often easier said than done. In addition to skyrocketing rental costs, folks may find themselves struggling to find a place to live based on things like their mental health conditions. That’s the situation one woman in the UK found herself in years ago… until she finally stumbled upon the exact rental property she needed. Anna, a property investor, found that one of her rentals was particularly popular. According to a post she made online, over 100 people showed interest in home. In the end, however, she says she went with the one who “nobody would rent to,” noting that this woman was “also on benefits.” But soon after she moved in, Anna noticed something unusual… TikTok The woman had a whole lineup of photos to hang on her wall… but they were on the floor instead. When Anna asked about it, the woman was honest: She was worried they were going to ask her to leave. In other words, landing this home felt too good to be true. So hanging those photos, only to have them taken down soon after, would have been all-the-more heartbreaking. When a Woman With “Mental Health Conditions” is Given a Chance With Her Dream Rental Property, Her Life Changes TikTok Even with reassurance, the woman couldn’t get herself to hang the photos just yet. In fact, two years passed with no changes. Finally, when it came time for Anna to renew her lease for a third year, she did things a bit differently. Instead of a one year lease, she offered a three year lease, backing up her reassurance legally. TikTok This is exactly what the woman needed. During her next visit, Anna saw the photos on the walls. Best of all, this happened years ago. Anna can happily share that this woman has been an incredible tenant for over a decade. “Most people with mental health conditions have trauma,” someone in the comment section shares. “Trauma victims face anticipatory anxiety which means we can never enjoy the moment. Your trust just healed a little part of that lady, thank you!” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Looking for some mudroom ideas? A mudroom is a hard-working corner where you can confine clutter, so adding one or upgrading yours is essential to an organized homestead. Take a hint from these clever mudrooms! 13 Clever Mudroom Ideas For The Nifty Homesteader Keeping your family organized can be a mundane task, however, with the help of these efficient mudroom ideas you can transform this common dumping area into an organized haven. Win back your mudroom space and get inspired to make your own functional room by adding bins, hooks, benches, extra storage space, and more.   1. Materials Used Count | A mudroom is one of the heaviest working rooms in the house, so it requires sturdy materials that won't break your bank. Some salvaged wood or a hardwood is a good choice considering that it is a dependable and sturdy material perfect for high traffic areas. Depending on the stain color and the finish of the wood, wear and tear will reveal itself over time (especially if you're using older or recycled wood). Wood is also vulnerable to damp and water penetration, which often happens in mudrooms especially when spring showers visit the homestead. We can't avoid wet umbrellas, boots, and shoes, so wipe away any water to avoid it from penetrating into the wood. Adding a rag rug, which you can easily DIY using fabric scraps, will also help prolong the wear of the wood flooring material.   2. Get Organized! | Create a cubby or space for everything from boots to backpacks by maximizing every inch in the mudroom. This mudroom provides convenience and accessibility with lots of hooks, bins, and shelves, so there's a specific place for everything.   3. Make Use Of Your Mudroom Space | If your mudroom is not that spacious but has enough space to move and store things, use it wisely and effectively. Every square inch counts, so even under a bench or a roof beam is a great opportunity for storage. Keeping a space idle is a big no-no! Spaces under benches, tables, or sinks are not easily accessible. Some containers or baskets will make it easier, plus, you can customize it to your liking.   4. Decorative Touch image via ourfairfieldhomeandgarden A mudroom doesn't need to be dull and unstyled. It could use some decorating ideas. Take a look at this watering can and garden hose wreath. You can even fill the watering can with some beautiful blooms from your garden. Isn't it mesmerizing?   5. Low Hanging | The best way to teach children responsibility is to include them in home organization. Accommodate your children’s storage needs by installing pegs low enough for them to reach.   How to Build a Log Cabin By Hand | Homesteading https://t.co/w4sRmA3Ymt via @HomesteadingUSA — Thomas Spencer (@thomas101960) March 11, 2017   6. Multi-Purpose Mudroom | As a homesteader, I love the idea of having a multi-purpose mudroom. I take every homestead task seriously, from gardening, canning, tending to our livestock, and more, and with all these tasks at hand, I have a tendency to get mixed up. A mudroom with chalkboard paint allows you to create a list of chores and simple reminders.   7. Mudroom And Tool Shed image via rurallyyours With organization and well-managed storage space, a mudroom can also double as a tool shed. This is great for those who don't have enough space in their homestead to house all their tools in a separate shed. Check out this DIY garden tools rack project to help you keep your garden tools organized.   8. Mudroom Cabinets image via thesunnysideupblog In any room, even a mudroom, cabinets keep everything out of sight. Mudroom cabinets make perfect storage for your coats, hats, shoes, cleaning supplies, sports equipment, and so on.   9. Mudroom DIY Bench image via honeybearlane A bench is not just ideal for seating, but it could also double as storage. Have a mudroom bench that lets you perch on it while taking off your shoes or boots and has room to store things underneath.   10. Cubbies | An ideal mudroom has a space for every member of the family to keep things handy and well-kept. Adding cubbies is a virtual must to any mudroom.   11. Farmhouse Door | If you want a bit of a rustic yet polished appeal for your mudroom, take a look at this farmhouse door in this well-appointed mudroom. There’s no denying its exquisite modern style, but it's achievable using a recycled barn door or even pallets!   12. Laundry And Mudroom In One | If you have the space, consider expanding your laundry area into a mudroom, or vice versa. Doing so is an effective and functional solution.   13. Bold And Trendy Mudroom | A mudroom doesn't need to to be boring. Using some beautiful country touches and bright bold paint color, ensure a touch of rustic appeal with a modern look. Take a good look at your beautiful old wood pieces, you might be able to use them to build out your mudroom!   Want some mudroom organization tips? Check out this video from AtHomeWithNikki: A mudroom is often the first place you see when you take refuge after a busy and tiring day.

Autumn is here! As the beautiful leaves fall off the trees, we also see the drop in temperature. And as the season changes from feeling the brightness and warmth of the sun to feeling the cool and crips autumn air, it’s important to remember that this change can affect our furry friends’ comfort, safety, and protection. Irina Nedikova / Shutterstock.com Just like us, hoomans, our dogs can benefit from a change in their wardrobe that is tailored to the changing season and weather. So, in this article, we’ll talk about dogs and autumn essential clothing items that are stylish, comfortable, and will keep our furry friends protected. The Importance Of Seasonal Clothing For Your Dog There are dogs with thick and dense coat made for the cooler temperature that autumn, and soon, winter, brings. Dogs like Alaskan Malamutes, Siberian Huskies, Samoyeds, Saint Bernards have coats that can keep them warm. However, not all dogs are the same – some may be built for the cool weather, but some are not. And that’s why there are a lot of reasons why Autumn clothing is important for dogs. First, there are some dog that cannot keep themselves warm with just only their coat. For example, dogs with thin or short coats (like Chihuahuas and Greyhounds) and dogs that sit low on the ground (like Corgis) have a disadvantage during the colder weather. Second, we have to take into consideration senior dogs. As dogs grow old, their heat regulation declines with age. And senior dogs have a weakened immune system and may suffer from joint issues or arthritis brought about by the cooler temperature.

So, autumn clothing doesn’t only keep dogs warm, but it can also protect them from the rain, wind, mud, wet leaves, and other elements when out and about. Fourth, as days become shorter and darker, walking your dog can be dangerous without using clothing with reflective materials or lights. These clothing items enhances safety by helping your dog become more visible to cars and other pedestrians during early morning or evening walks. And finally, it gives us the opportunity to pamper our pooches and keep them in style for the season! Dogs and autumn go together like pumpkin and spice, so this is the perfect time to dress up our dogs while keeping them comfy and safe. Factors To Consider When Buying Autumn Clothing For Dogs Whether its for a cozy morning on the couch or a brisk early morning walk, finding the perfect clothing items can make all the difference in your dog’s indoor and outdoor experience this autumn. So, to make sure you find the best autumn clothing for your dog, let’s discuss the following factors to consider: Size and fit: It goes without saying that when buying clothing items, the size and fit matters. Getting the right size is crucial for your dog’s comfort. So, make sure to take accurate measurement of your dog’s body and check the item’s sizing chart to help you choose the right size. Oh, and if available, check if the item is adjustable! Comfortability: In connection with the size and fit, the clothing item must be comfortable and must not restrict your dog’s movements, especially when walking. Material: The material is also an important factor to consider when buying autumn clothing. It must have enough insulation to keep your dog warm, must be wind and waterproof, and must be reflective. Clothing made with features like these ensure the effectiveness of the item for the weather. Durability: Of course, clothing items must be durable and last through multiple autumn (and even winter) seasons and different adventures. Look for clothing items that can withstand wear and tear so you can ensure that you also get your money’s worth! Ease of cleaning: In addition to durability, it also pays to consider the ease of cleaning and maintenance of the item. This is especially important if you’re buying a dog coat or jacket for outdoor adventures where your dog can get dirty. Style and design: Of course, you also have to consider style and design! Like us, hoomans, dogs and autumn fashion is a MUST! While we’re all for comfort and functionality, a little style won’t hurt. Dogs And Autumn: 6 Essential Clothing Items For Your Dog This Autumn 1.
