It's been reported that all cast members of the soap opera Days of our Lives have been released from their contracts with the series' future in doubt. The show is expected to go on an indefinite hiatus at the end of this month, though it hasn't been officially cancelled. The 'Share a Coke' campaign has been going for some years - its been rolled out in over 80 countries. It rebrands the traditional Coke logo, replacing "Coca-Cola" from one side of a bottle with the phrase "Share a Coke with" followed by a person's name. Now the New Zealand Dental Association has lashed out at the company giant for targeting maori on soft drink labels calling it "unethical and completely irresponsible." There's no such thing as a free lunch...unless you're a Wellington City Councillor. The new mayor Andy Foster has reinstated catered lunches - six years after he led moves as a councillor to scrap them. The move was prompted by requests from other councillors Foster says, but he's promising to keep costs low. Just when you thought Hillary Clinton was well and truly out of the politics game - she claims she's under enormous pressure to run against Donald Trump for the presidency next year. The former Democratic presidential nominee has refused to rule out running, telling the BBC "never say never". She is absolutely not in her plans but she does think about it a lot and many, many, many people have told her to consider it.
