Pop diva Janet Jackson is joining her brother Michael and the Jackson 5 as members of the “Rock and Roll Hall of Fame,” earning her induction along with six other artists or bands on Dec. 13. They will be honored at the 34th induction ceremony, which is scheduled for March 29 in New York.
With the success of her albums such as Control, Janet Jackson’s Rhythm Nation 1814 and Janet, Jackson is one of the world’s most celebrated singers. The five-time Grammy Award winner had been nominated twice previously, and her inclusion comes as the Hall of Fame expands its definition of “rock” to include more music genres, such as Rhythm and Blues (R&B).
The Hall of Fame surveyed more than 1,000 musicians, historians, industry professionals and past winners to choose new members. The other inductees were Stevie Nicks, the Cure, Radiohead, Roxy Music, the Zombies and Def Leppard, which gained most votes from fans. The votes were also incorporated into the survey in deciding who gets inducted.

UK lawmakers voted on Nov. 29 in favor of assisted dying for terminally ill people in England and Wales, advancing the emotive and contentious legislation to the next stage of parliamentary scrutiny. MPs voted by 330 to 275 in support of legalized euthanasia in the first vote on the issue in the House of Commons for nearly a decade. The result came following an emotionally-charged debate that lasted almost five hours in a packed and hushed chamber, and as competing protestors made their voices heard outside parliament.

In the world of DIY and crafts, creating terrariums has emerged as a popular trend. Whether you have a spacious garden or a compact apartment, anyone can enjoy the beauty of nature at their fingertips with these miniature gardens.
