Shakespeare in Central Park started last night …. at the Delacorte Theatre … Romeo & Juliet … it was a beautiful evening to enjoy a comedy in the Park ….
The evening was cool and autumn-like with clear blue skies and a stiff breeze … the open-air stage was surrounded by lush green trees, which gave a magical feeling to the show … the stage was very minimal with a revolving wood-plank circle and a shallow moat of water in the centre … movable iron bridges and shelving provide the changeable scenes … the actors gave a fine performance with much water trashed about … it was thrilling to be at the show on opening night and enjoy a free performance.
Next week, the Metropolitan Opera will perform on Tuesday in the Great Lawn … Patsy’s fresh mozzarella & tomato pizza and vino to go … summer-time and the living is easy, fish are jumping …

On view in the Arthur Ross Terrace and Garden, this exhibition highlights the growing trend among designers to create affordable and socially responsible objects for the vast majority of the world’s population (90 percent) not traditionally serviced by professional designers. Organized by exhibition curator Cynthia E. Smith, along with an eight-member advisory council, the exhibition is divided into sections focusing on water, shelter, health and sanitation, education, energy and transportation and highlights objects developed to empower global populations surviving under the poverty level or recovering from a natural disaster.
Design for the Other 90% is an exhibition at the Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum.
They don’t need a handout. What they need is an opportunity.
. . .
A poor person actually only cares about one thing: making more money. If they have more money, they can get ahead, take their family out of poverty.
— Martin Fischer, Kickstart International
The introductory video also provided an opportunity to explore an additional range of themes that may not be as apparent, running through the exhibition and this area of design: open source options, leapfrog technology, economic impacts, community building, testing and end-user research, low-cost innovations, social enterprise, humanitarian entrepreneurship, improved democracies and multiple calls to action.
