There's about to be a new Barbie doll on the shelves, with flowers on her dress and a skull painted on her face.It's the Dia de los Muertos Barbie, or Day of the Dead Barbie. The collectible doll, which will be released on Thursday, celebrates the annual Mexican festival, in which people honor their departed loved ones.The doll "honors the traditions, symbols and rituals often seen throughout this time," said Mattel, the toy company that owns the Barbie brand.Barbie's long black dress is embroidered with hearts and butterflies, with colorful ruffled sleeves. Her face is painted with a skull -- a popular practice during the festival, when revelers dress up in colorful costumes and hold parades. On top of the doll's head rests a crown with monarch butterflies and marigolds.Monarch butterflies typically migrate in Mexico for the winter and arrive around the same time as the festival, and they have come to symbolize the souls of loved ones coming back to visit. Marigolds are often used to decorate homes during the holiday.This year, Dia de los Muertos will take place on November 1 and 2. On top of parties and parades, families often set up ofrendas, or altars, featuring photographs of late relatives as well as their favorite food and drinks. People also leave representations of human skeletons and skulls, and other offerings, along roads and in graveyards.The holiday was also placed on UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list in 2008, and has been seeing increased visibility in popular culture and media in the United States. The holiday inspired the 2017 Pixar film "Coco," which was hailed as "the movie Latinos have been waiting for" and went on to win two Academy Awards.Now, as the holiday approaches, there are signs of celebration in the US, with sugar skulls going on sale and makeup artists booked. 1858

TripAdvisor has defended itself against accusations of misleading travelers by failing to stop some of its highest ranked hotels winning their status with fake reviews.UK consumer group Which? Travel analyzed a total of almost 250,000 reviews for the 10 top-ranked hotels in 10 global tourist destinations, from Las Vegas to Cape Town. It found that one in seven of the hotels had "blatant hallmarks" of fake reviews, with others raising "serious concerns."But TripAdvisor called the analysis "flawed" and said its more sophisticated detection tools were able to weed out fraudulent feedback.Which? Travel said that when it reported 15 of the worst cases to TripAdvisor, the reviews giant -- now one of the world's biggest travel websites -- admitted that all but one of the hotels in question had been caught using fake reviews in the past year.Six had previously been penalized, and two had received a "red badge warning" -- where TripAdvisor warns users that the hotel is suspected of using fake reviews, and has "repeatedly failed to remedy its behavior and refuses to cooperate with TripAdvisor's investigators."Yet, Which? Travel said it found that the review patterns had continued unabated despite the measures, and the red badges had been removed.The group has accused TripAdvisor of a "lack of serious ongoing action to address repeated abuse of the system."It says that five-star reviews left by new users who have written no other reviews should be a red flag. Its analysis compared the proportion of first-time five-star reviews with that of first-time three-star reviews, which are less likely to be faked.In total, it studied 247,277 reviews."TripAdvisor's failure to stop fake reviews and take strong action against hotels that abuse the system risks misleading millions of travelers and potentially ruining their holidays," said Which? Travel's Naomi Leach.TripAdvisor has removed hundreds of reviews in light of the investigation, Which? Travel claimed."Striking" evidence of fake reviewsHotels in the Middle East had "striking" amounts of fake positive reviews, according to the research. TripAdvisor docked 730 five-star reviews of the "best" hotel in Jordan following the analysis -- but the hotel has not been given a red badge. It remains in the top 10 in the country.At the top-ranking hotel in Cairo, 79% of five-star reviews came from one-time contributors. Just 14% of three-star reviews came from similar accounts.The hotel has lost its status as a result of the reviews' deletion.Las Vegas was another hotspot for fake reviews. At two of the top-rated hotels, almost half the five-star reviews came from one-time contributors. For a competitor which did not arouse suspicion, the figure was just 3%.Some of the top-ranked hotels in London, Paris, Barcelona and Cape Town "gave reason for suspicion," the research showed, but failed to demonstrate the same patterns across the board.Repeat offendersTripAdvisor called the analysis "based on a flawed understanding of fake review patterns," adding that "it is simply far too simplistic to assume all first-time reviewers are suspicious."It said that Which? Travel did not have access to IP [internet protocol] information or location data, both of which TripAdvisor uses to detect fake reviews."We analyze hundreds of data points about each review -- most of which only we have access to -- and we combine that data with a wealth of knowledge and understanding of review patterns that our team of experts has gained from tracking hundreds of millions of reviews over a near 20-year period," said the company."This includes an ability to track and analyze first-time reviews in far more detail and with far more rigor than Which's team was able to do."Online reviews influence an annual estimated ￡23 billion ( billion) of booking transactions in the UK alone, according to the UK government."Sites like TripAdvisor must do more to ensure the information on their platforms is reliable," said Naomi Leach."If they continue to fall short, they should be compelled to make changes so holidaymakers are no longer at risk of being duped by a flood of fake reviews." 4152

There's a new scam going around and it's targeting users of a popular mobile payment app.Venmo's roughly 40 million users could soon be getting a message from the app, but it may just be an attempt to scam you, police warn.Here's how the scam works, according to the Dighton Police Department in Massachusetts.Venmo users receive a text message saying their Venmo account is about to be charged, and if they want to cancel the withdrawal they need to log on and decline it.The message allows people to log on to a website with any phone number and password combination. It then asks users to verify who they are by entering their bankcard number and other personal and financial information.What makes the scam extra deceptive is the fact that the webpage users are redirected to looks similar to Venmo, using the same colors and fonts as the app.Do not use the webpages provided by the text to enter into your account, the 936
