This week, we hit the streets of Rome with our recording equipment to search for ancient artifacts or “spoglie” hidden in plain sight.

Tennis and badminton are the games I like to play during weekends. I also love to spend time with my pets. Otherwise, I�m just at home � sleeping.
I love going outdoors! I like to go shopping with my friends and family. I also like to eat at different restaurants and taste their house specialty.
I like sports! I play tennis, golf, and soccer. I also love swimming, fishing and hiking. When I have the time, I watch basketball, hockey and football with my friends, hang out at the pool hall and eat pizza.
I like day dreaming (it�s for free anyway!), cooking (for my loved ones), and playing with little kids (they are so adorable). I�m a dreamer who dreams of dinner by candle light, rose petals on the bed, bubble baths, four string quartets� In the meantime, I�ll tend to a small garden and finish up my scrapbook.
Whenever I can wriggle off work, I try to get as much sleep as I can. I also catch the latest movies and try out different restaurants. Sometimes I visit friends and family and spend the weekend with them.

Lacking sexiness, the Warriors defense is under the radar, rarely discussed, yet they have the best defensive rating in the playoffs at 101.9. No other team has a defensive rating below 103. Why is no one paying attention to what the Dubs are doing on the other end of the court? For starters, the Warriors defense isn’t a glamour subject when you have James Harden and Chris Paul trying to get to their first NBA Finals. But it is because of the Warriors defense, paired with skilled offensive players, that has the Warriors on pace to take a stranglehold of the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday night.
The Western Conference Finals series which the Rockets now trail- to the surprise of no one- reminds us of the inconsistency of the Rockets despite the brilliance of James Harden. What other team could have their best player score 41 points and lose by double digits? A team with a star player that is atrocious on defense. The Warriors attacked the weakest defensive link on the Rockets. Go at the Beard. Over and over and over again. Switching everything which the Rockets love to do covers up a bleeding wound with a bandaid. The Rockets are not physical and don’t grab and hold and do dirty stuff. On the other side of the ledger, the Warriors are happy to get chippy, ala Draymond Green getting a tech one minute into the game.
In the playoffs, the Warriors are forcing teams to shoot-surprise, surprise- 32.0% from three. The Rockets are a volume three point shooting team. They made the same amount of threes as the Warriors in game one, a bad sign. If they have any hope in this series, they have to crush the Warriors from behind the arc. Golden State’s success dictates efficient three point shooting goes way down. The Warriors are allowing 101.6 points a game.
Note to everybody: when you are the best offensive team and the best defensive team, the league is in big trouble.
Simply, the Warriors defense is creating chaos. It is suppressing everything their opponents want to do. Against the Warriors, everyone is an 8th seed and it always happens at some point in the series, the one thing you can count on: a look of stunned disbelief, shell shock, and then depression. It happens when you think you are one thing and the Warriors talent and defense tells you via their performance, fall back you ain’t all that, you are so not on our level.
The Rockets missed 65% of the threes they took. They had 13 turnovers, 4 each by James Harden and Eric Gordon. They averaged 18 assists. Steph Curry and Klay Thompson had more offensive rebounds than Clint Capela. The Rockets two stars scored 64 points but were a -14.
The Warriors cause teams to doubt themselves. They create negative energy and insecurity and slumped shoulders. Defeat starts in the mind. The Warriors, as an offensive unit that is lethal and explosive and hyper-confident, understand they can beat you shot making. They know they can stop you from scoring.
The recipe seems pretty simple on how to get to the fourth straight NBA Finals: make long shots, contest shots and avoid, at all costs, laziness with the ball. And one other thing. Don’t get fooled by the Harden Eurostep or the Chris Paul toughness or the Rockets shooters. Just defend them.
What the Warriors do is make life miserable. Wing defenders Andre Iguodala, Klay Thompson, Draymond Green and Shaun Livingston are too quick for the Rockets. They contest shots. Always. When the Rockets try to drive, there should be Green or Iguodala or Thompson. When the Rockets try to pass the ball, the Warriors should be in the passing lane and create a turnover. Should be isn’t the same as will be. It was a contested three that lost the Warriors the title. Contested shots are the bane of NBA coaches. You can’t draw up a play that will keep a James Harden contested shot from going in.
Golden State covers too much ground too quickly and the Rockets are hoping P.J. Tucker is a difference maker. And Trevor Ariza, the Kevin Durant stopper. And so this is the damage the Warriors are laying on the Rockets in a perfect world, causing them to go to Plan B and Plan C, all because the Warriors defense is really that good.
Theodore Roosevelt once said. “Speak softly but carry a big stick.” That big stick hit the Rockets over the head on Monday night. Again and again. Good luck Houston. The season has to be saved on Wednesday.

Planning and design for healthy, liveable communities in the Australian tropics can involve quite different considerations from those that apply down south. Silvia Tavares
There's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all plan for sustainable, healthy urban living. Urban diaries help identify what works – and doesn't work – for tropical cities like Cairns or Townsville.
What does a green star rating – One Central Park apartments in Sydney received five stars, for instance – actually mean? AAP
Buildings are central to creating more sustainable cities, and green ratings are often used to assess how well a building measures up against this goal. But the current system has serious flaws.

Adaptively re-using buildings can preserve heritage while enabling new uses that help make cities more liveable and sustainable.
We need to look behind the sharing economy’s apparently informal, casual intent to consider the impacts on people’s lives. Montri Nipitvittaya/Shutterstock
In cities dominated by globalised market forces, how can we achieve social equity and justice? For any sharing economy idea, we need to ask what will it do to fix the big problems confronting us all.
Would you be shocked by a supermarket without carrots, potatoes or broccoli, at any time of year? But harvesting in the off-season does serious damage to our soil.

A tiny house in the backyard appeals to some as a solution that offers both affordability and sustainability. Think Out Loud/flick
New research has found a marked increase in people, particularly among women over 50, who are building or want to build a tiny house. However, inflexible planning rules often stand in their way.
Some local councils are more tolerant than others in allowing residents to grow food where they want. dscribe
Urban residents are increasingly keen to farm verges, parks, rooftops and backyards, but planning rules sometimes stand in the way.
City dwellers are individually starting to do their bit to live sustainably. Now pioneering businesses are aiming to make ecological and social sustainability part of their bottom line.

Achieving the goal of sustainable cities depends on rolling back the market after decades of privatisation and deregulation.
The public and finance sectors – but not the government, it seems – are questioning the wisdom of investing in infrastructure for projects like the Adani coal mine. Lukas Coch/AAP
If infrastructure is to meet the needs and challenges of an uncertain future, we need to move beyond the AAA ratings mindset and aim for net-positive social and ecological outcomes as well.

Smart cities are usually optimised like a business for speed and efficiency. Placemaking can slow down cities to improve health and wellbeing and promote more democratic engagement of citizens.
Information is assumed to be key to changing people's attitudes and behaviour. Sadly this isn't the case.

Our cities need to become much more efficient not just to conserve precious resources but to improve the economy, wellbeing and resilience to environmental change and disasters.
