United seeks middle ground on new-age therapies and old-school work

When Adrian Heath played in the top flight of English soccer in the 1980s, the star midfielder didn ’t hop in an ice bath after a game to immediately start regenerating his legs after running miles upon miles. Heath, now Minnesota United ’s coach, said that therapy wasn’t around back in his playing days — much less the influx of new-age remedies available to the Loons players. There was one thing involving cold liquid he did do during his 18-year career: “After the game, a few pints with your mates,” he shared in his British accent. About 20 years later across the Atlantic Ocean in Major League Soccer , rookie midfielder Sam Cronin would dip in warm and cold baths in Toronto in 2009. But that, plus some stretching and spinning on the exercise bike, were the extent of techniques he recalled to help propel players into the next game. Now, up-and- coming forward Christian Ramirez ’s postgame ice bath is only the first step in a multifaceted approach to try to gain a competitive adva...

13 holiday scams to watch out for

If you never want to leave your house again just enter the words “travel scam” into Google. There are hundreds and hundreds of scams listed on reputable travel sites , social media platforms and on the bajillions of self-styled “Independent Traveller” blogs on the internet. It would be easy to be terrified by such material. But almost as easy to discount it. While some scams we have come across should be taken with a pinch of salt, others are worth being wary of. Here’s a round-up of ones to watch: 1. The web has put all sorts of amazing accommodation options overseas just a click of a mouse away. But this has not gone unnoticed by scammers. Criminals set up legitimate-looking websites offering holiday homes for rent. The sites are swish, the properties have clear descriptions, the pictures are bright, the agency has a physical address AND a landline and a person at the end of all emails. But the scam website does not have any connection to any of the properties listed. They take yo...

Metal Locker and Filing Cabinet Inspiration

It's not that anyone forgot that lockers and filing cabinets exist , it's just that they aren't used nearly as commonly as they ought to be in my opinion. They're affordable (to buy new or find used at thrift stores) and you can store lots of different things in them. They're DIY'able (hello, paint one a bold color!). They not only fit in with a lot of different design styles, but they offer up a heaping dose of industrial vibes to any room they live in. And let's not forget the most important element; most are made of metal, which means they are perfect for magnetic decor ideas . I was reminded again of lockers' beauty and functionality in a recent house tour : A Quirky, Industrial Modern Apartment in Michigan. Rachael Barlock's rental house uses lockers in a few different rooms. In the living room, an unassuming white locker (that she found thrifting) blends into the background, but is tall and provides a great opportunity to add decor (like a...
