Readers get behind us for shaming litter louts
It's about time litter louts faced up to their behaviour and changed it. "There is absolutely no excuse for dropping litter and I believe naming and shaming those responsible is an extremely effective tool." The list of shame was obtained from Glasgow City Council which also plans to publish it on their website as part of their £4million Clean Glasgow campaign. Every person on the list has admitted their guilt by paying a £50 fine issued for dropping litter, discarding a cigarette end, allowing their dog to foul the streets or fly-tipping. More than 6000 fines have been issued - mostly by litter wardens - since February. There was also support for our campaign on the streets. Pensioner John Berry, 63, from Dennistoun, said: "I'm right behind the Evening Times people who drop litter should be ashamed." Laurence Johnstone, 52, of Muirhead, said: "Hopefully by having their names printed these people will now think twice before dumping litter." Jean Ferguson of the city centre said: "More people should be fined and publicly shamed.
Reviews in: 'Mermaid" fish-fried, but Denver's Boggess praised
They made it clear after Denver that despite universal panning of the show's book, costumes and bizarre set design, no major changes would be made for New York. The only appreciable difference Thursday was the addition of a third tyke to the rotating role of Flounder. The newcomer, Brian D'Addario, performed for critics. Tepid critical response to Disney's "Beauty and the Beast," "Aida" and even "Mary Poppins" had no negative impact on ticket sales. And if ever a Broadway musical were built to survive critics' sabers, it's "The Little Mermaid." The show sold virtually every available seat for its Denver run and even when the show was in its pre-opening Broadway preview period, it shattered box-office records at the Lunt-Fontanne Theatre. Its $1.3 million gross in ticket sales for the week ending Dec.

It’s Lookin’ Good Dedicated to the Egyptian People
In the past two decades, the number of venues, events, funds and possibilities available to the arts community has grown in leaps and bounds. Egypt has undergone a major cultural revival in the visual arts, but beyond quantity, what is it that has made the art of this age different from that of the previous decades? With few exceptions, artists in the past had to resort to working within a structure wholly monopolized by the state. Art education, exhibition spaces as well as opportunities for international participation were more or less the domain of the government and thus predominantly reflected the values and concerns of those in power. .
