Tacheles faces closure, the famous Berlin squat - BBC News: Famous Berlin squat faces closure. When the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, Tacheles, a ruined building in East Berlin, was taken over by artists. It became a centre of artistic subculture.

Naked shop assistants at "Lush" cosmetics store - Lush, a British chain of hand-made soap stores, has recently started a rather cheeky promotion campaign. Their shop assistants have been working naked, with only an apron to hide their modesty. This is not only a cunning advertising strategy, but also a protest at the use of too much packaging in retail products. According to Lush, packaging contributes to two per cent of overall greenhouse gases, and plastic uses eight per cent of the world's oil… read more…
