-LRB- CNN -RRB- Blue Bell Ice Cream has temporarily shut down one of its manufacturing plants over the discovery of Listeria contamination in a serving of ice cream originating from that plant . Public Health officials warned consumers Friday not to eat any blue bell-branded products made at the company 's Broken Arrow , Oklahoma , plant . That includes 3-ounce servings of Blue Bell ice cream from this plant that went to institutions in containers marked with the letters o , p , Q , r , s or t behind the coding date . The warning by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does not affect other blue bell ice cream , including other 3-ounce servings , not made at the plant . But Blue Bell has recalled other products . The company is shutting down the Broken Arrow Facility `` out of an abundance of caution '' to search for a possible cause of contamination . It is the third time Blue Bell has taken action in light of a Listeria outbreak at a Kansas Hospital that served the company 's ice cream . Listeria monocytogenes was recently found in a cup of ice cream recovered from the hospital . The Cup contaminated with the bacteria was produced at the broken Arrow plant in April 2014 , Blue Bell said . And , according to the CDC , Listeria Bacteria was found in additional samples of the same product that were recovered from the plant . The bacteria in the hospital sample and the factory sample appeared to match each other genetically , the CDC said . But they did not appear identical to Listeria samples taken from patients infected in the Kansas outbreak . In a separate outbreak in Texas , the CDC did find that Listeria samples taken from patients who came down with listeriosis between 2010 and 2014 in a hospital that served 3-ounce Blue Bell Cups matched the Listeria in recovered samples . None of this means the ice cream is the source of either spate of the infections . `` investigation to determine whether these illnesses are related to exposure to blue bell products is ongoing , '' the CDC said . In early March , in light of the Kansas Listeria outbreak , Blue Bell recalled a group of products made at a plant in Texas . It later added 3-ounce Cup servings to the recall . Five people were infected and three died in the past year in Kansas from Listeria that might be linked to Blue Bell creameries products , according to the CDC . All five of them were hospitalized at the same hospital before developing listeriosis , the CDC said . At least four of them had consumed milkshakes made with Blue Bell ice cream before developing the infection . `` We are devastated and know that Blue Bell has to be and can be better than this , '' Paul Kruse , Blue Bell CEO and president , said in a statement . `` quality and safety have always been our top priorities . We are deeply saddened and concerned for all those who have been affected . '' The CDC advises that individuals and institutions should check their freezers for the recalled products and throw them away . In a statement on its website , Blue Bell said `` this recall in no way includes blue bell ice cream half gallons , pints , quarts , 3 gallons or other 3 oz . Cups . '' This has been the first product recall in the 108-year history of Blue Bell creameries , the company said . Listeriosis is a serious infection caused by eating food contaminated with Listeria , and primarily affects the elderly , pregnant women , newborns and people with weakened immune systems , according to the CDC . Symptoms of a Listeria infection are fever and muscle aches , sometimes associated with diarrhea or other gastrointestinal symptoms . In the United States , an estimated 1,600 people become seriously ill each year , and approximately 16 % of these illnesses result in death . Cervical infections caused by listeriosis in pregnant women may result in stillbirth or spontaneous abortion during the second or third trimesters . CNN 's Debra Goldschmidt , Amanda Watts and Jacque Wilson contributed to this report .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- this is the end . Beautiful friend , the end . For the 1960s , the end arrived with -- depending on your ideals and your tribe -- either the rolling stones ' altamont fiasco in December 1969 , the Kent State Shootings in May 1970 or Richard Nixon 's 1972 re-election . For `` mad men , '' the `` end of an era , '' as its slogan has it , begins Sunday . Over the past eight years , the show about a 1960s advertising agency and its collision with changing times has become part of the national fabric , if never a huge ratings hit . Stores have created fashion lines inspired by the show ; there have been `` mad men '' cocktails and `` mad men '' museum exhibits and even `` mad men '' presidential references . Don Draper , the creative director played by Jon Hamm , has become a symbol of the times -- his and , sometimes , ours . Its subjects have taken the show to heart . In March , a `` mad men '' bench was unveiled in front of New York 's time & Life Building , where the fictional firm of Sterling Cooper & Partners has its headquarters . The end of a TV series brings with it some risk . `` The Sopranos , '' `` mad men '' Creator Matthew Weiner 's former employer , divided fans with its famous cut-to-black finale . On the other hand , `` mad men 's '' former AMC stablemate , `` breaking bad , '' was saluted for an almost perfect landing . Speaking of landings : The last season -- technically , the first half of season 7 -- ended with the moon landing in July 1969 . Though Weiner and his cast have been typically tight-lipped -- Weiner even hid the finale from his cast at first -- it 's reasonable to assume the new season will pick up soon afterward . What 's going to happen ? Here are some educated guesses . With the '60s screaming towards their conclusion , `` mad men '' probably wo n't jump ahead much . The latter half of 1969 included the Manson murders , the Woodstock Festival , a New York mayoral campaign and the Vietnam War Moratorium demonstrations -- plenty of fodder for the characters to interact with , if only tangentially . Who knows ? The show might even mention the miracle mets . It would be a nice way to acknowledge the agency 's late lane pryce . Of course , Weiner might have a different idea ; he 's from Baltimore . `` Mad men '' is generally a show about disintegration , reflective of the '60s themselves . The old orders are falling apart : white-shoe wasp firms like Sterling Cooper giving way to the ethnic pace-setters such as Doyle Dane Bernbach ; Grimy New York replaced by Sunny Los Angeles ; the `` Good War '' generation butting heads with the `` make love , Not War '' Cohort ; Vacuum Tubes and ledger books being displaced by a sleek , solid-state IBM world . It 's all an ad agency can do to keep up . Last season saw plenty of intraoffice turmoil , thanks to the ill-fitting merger between Sterling Cooper and former rival Cutler gleason and chaough . Though the agency survived , it 's now without Bert Cooper -LRB- Robert Morse -RRB- and under the ownership of -LRB- real-life -RRB- Madison Avenue Titan McCann Erickson . That 's not a recipe for long-term survival , and expect a number of longtime characters -- Ken Cosgrove -LRB- Aaron Staton -RRB- , Harry Crane -LRB- Rich Sommer -RRB- and perhaps even Joan Harris -LRB- Christina Hendricks -RRB- -- to look for an exit . Roger Sterling -- The wisecracking executive played by John slattery -- might find an exit as well , but not one he 's anticipating . He 's suffered two heart attacks . He drinks to excess . He 's never grown up . Bet on a sudden and shocking departure . On the other hand , Peggy Olson 's star has continued to rise -LRB- much like one of the character 's models , advertising Wunderkind Mary Wells Lawrence -RRB- . She left Sterling Cooper once ; indeed , she would n't have returned if her new agency had n't merged with her old one . If Olson , played by Elisabeth Moss , bolts the firm , it will probably be to head her own agency -- and possibly get married . That is , if she 's still interested in such an old-fashioned tradition . In recent seasons , Don 's ex-wife , Betty -LRB- January Jones -RRB- , has lost herself amid all the turmoil . She sees herself through the eyes of her spouses , and though husband Henry Francis -LRB- Christopher Stanley -RRB- has been far more supportive than Don , he 's a busy man . And Sally , Don 's daughter -LRB- Kiernan Shipka -RRB- , is proving to be a handful . On the one hand , she 's obviously bright ; on the other , she 's a teenager and starting to rebel . In recent seasons she 's run away and started sneaking cigarettes , and she 's always fighting with her mother . You could see her hitchhiking to woodstock , or at least dropping out of school .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- this is the end . Beautiful friend , the end . For the 1960s , the end arrived with -- depending on your ideals and your tribe -- either the rolling stones ' altamont fiasco in December 1969 , the Kent State Shootings in May 1970 or Richard Nixon 's 1972 re-election . For `` mad men , '' the `` end of an era , '' as its slogan has it , begins Sunday . Over the past eight years , the show about a 1960s advertising agency and its collision with changing times has become part of the national fabric , if never a huge ratings hit . Stores have created fashion lines inspired by the show ; there have been `` mad men '' cocktails and `` mad men '' museum exhibits and even `` mad men '' presidential references . Don Draper , the creative director played by Jon Hamm , has become a symbol of the times -- his and , sometimes , ours . Its subjects have taken the show to heart . In March , a `` mad men '' bench was unveiled in front of New York 's time & Life Building , where the fictional firm of Sterling Cooper & Partners has its headquarters . The end of a TV series brings with it some risk . `` The Sopranos , '' `` mad men '' Creator Matthew Weiner 's former employer , divided fans with its famous cut-to-black finale . On the other hand , `` mad men 's '' former AMC stablemate , `` breaking bad , '' was saluted for an almost perfect landing . Speaking of landings : The last season -- technically , the first half of season 7 -- ended with the moon landing in July 1969 . Though Weiner and his cast have been typically tight-lipped -- Weiner even hid the finale from his cast at first -- it 's reasonable to assume the new season will pick up soon afterward . What 's going to happen ? Here are some educated guesses . With the '60s screaming towards their conclusion , `` mad men '' probably wo n't jump ahead much . The latter half of 1969 included the Manson murders , the Woodstock Festival , a New York mayoral campaign and the Vietnam War Moratorium demonstrations -- plenty of fodder for the characters to interact with , if only tangentially . Who knows ? The show might even mention the miracle mets . It would be a nice way to acknowledge the agency 's late lane pryce . Of course , Weiner might have a different idea ; he 's from Baltimore . `` Mad men '' is generally a show about disintegration , reflective of the '60s themselves . The old orders are falling apart : white-shoe wasp firms like Sterling Cooper giving way to the ethnic pace-setters such as Doyle Dane Bernbach ; Grimy New York replaced by Sunny Los Angeles ; the `` Good War '' generation butting heads with the `` make love , Not War '' Cohort ; Vacuum Tubes and ledger books being displaced by a sleek , solid-state IBM world . It 's all an ad agency can do to keep up . Last season saw plenty of intraoffice turmoil , thanks to the ill-fitting merger between Sterling Cooper and former rival Cutler gleason and chaough . Though the agency survived , it 's now without Bert Cooper -LRB- Robert Morse -RRB- and under the ownership of -LRB- real-life -RRB- Madison Avenue Titan McCann Erickson . That 's not a recipe for long-term survival , and expect a number of longtime characters -- Ken Cosgrove -LRB- Aaron Staton -RRB- , Harry Crane -LRB- Rich Sommer -RRB- and perhaps even Joan Harris -LRB- Christina Hendricks -RRB- -- to look for an exit . Roger Sterling -- The wisecracking executive played by John slattery -- might find an exit as well , but not one he 's anticipating . He 's suffered two heart attacks . He drinks to excess . He 's never grown up . Bet on a sudden and shocking departure . On the other hand , Peggy Olson 's star has continued to rise -LRB- much like one of the character 's models , advertising Wunderkind Mary Wells Lawrence -RRB- . She left Sterling Cooper once ; indeed , she would n't have returned if her new agency had n't merged with her old one . If Olson , played by Elisabeth Moss , bolts the firm , it will probably be to head her own agency -- and possibly get married . That is , if she 's still interested in such an old-fashioned tradition . In recent seasons , Don 's ex-wife , Betty -LRB- January Jones -RRB- , has lost herself amid all the turmoil . She sees herself through the eyes of her spouses , and though husband Henry Francis -LRB- Christopher Stanley -RRB- has been far more supportive than Don , he 's a busy man . And Sally , Don 's daughter -LRB- Kiernan Shipka -RRB- , is proving to be a handful . On the one hand , she 's obviously bright ; on the other , she 's a teenager and starting to rebel . In recent seasons she 's run away and started sneaking cigarettes , and she 's always fighting with her mother . You could see her hitchhiking to woodstock , or at least dropping out of school .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- do you remember the talk about plans for iraqi-led force to try to take back Mosul this spring ? Well , you might want to forget it . Nearly three months after a U.S. official said up to 25,000 Iraqis troops were expected to return to the key northern Iraqi city in April or May , a senior official in President Barack Obama 's administration said Thursday that Washington is `` not putting a timeframe on '' a possible invasion . It `` might be some time from now . Might be soon , '' another senior administration official said . Mosul has long been the big prize in the Iraqi government 's fight -- aided by a u.s.-led military coalition , which has carried out airstrikes for months -- to defeat Isis . It has also long been a source of embarrassment , considering how it fell after Iraqi troops dropped their weapons , abandoned their posts and ran for their lives when militants arrived last June . The senior administration officials who talked to reporters Thursday stressed the Iraqis and their allies are making progress in their fight against the group that calls itself the Islamic state . In fact , officials insist that Isis has been degraded substantially thanks to a combination of air power and ground combat . The biggest and most recent example of this came with the recapture a few weeks ago of Tikrit , the hometown of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein that is located some 100 miles -LRB- 160 kilometers -RRB- north of Baghdad . Iraqi forces aided by iranian-backed Shiite militiamen took that northern city , the same place where Isis allegedly massacred Iraqi troops last year . Still , Mosul is n't Tikrit . For one thing , it has a lot more people -- about a million , one Obama administration official noted . And it 's more important not only to Iraq , but isis , meaning the terrorist group has all the more reason to go all-out to defend it . In some ways , the campaign for Mosul has begun , according to officials . There are no plans for U.S. combat troops involvement in an eventual operation , they say , but airstrikes have already targeted isis positions in the area . Just because the area has been softened up some from the air , though , does n't mean a full ground assault is imminent . Calling for `` patience , '' an administration official said that winning Mosul is a complex endeavor . It will `` take a lot of capacity , '' the official said , `` and some time to build . ''

U.S. official said in february that Iraqi troops could go into Mosul in april or may. Officials say now that there's no timetable, an invasion could come sooner or later. They note that recapturing Mosul from ISIS could be a complicated endeavor.

President Barack Obama's administration says it's "not putting a jittery on a possible invasion. It has long been a source of embarrassment, considering how it fell after Iraqi troops dropped their weapons, abandoned their posts.

-LRB- CNN -RRB- do you remember the talk about plans for iraqi-led force to try to take back Mosul this spring ? Well , you might want to forget it . Nearly three months after a U.S. official said up to 25,000 Iraqis troops were expected to return to the key northern Iraqi city in April or May , a senior official in President Barack Obama 's administration said Thursday that Washington is `` not putting a timeframe on '' a possible invasion . It `` might be some time from now . Might be soon , '' another senior administration official said . Mosul has long been the big prize in the Iraqi government 's fight -- aided by a u.s.-led military coalition , which has carried out airstrikes for months -- to defeat Isis . It has also long been a source of embarrassment , considering how it fell after Iraqi troops dropped their weapons , abandoned their posts and ran for their lives when militants arrived last June . The senior administration officials who talked to reporters Thursday stressed the Iraqis and their allies are making progress in their fight against the group that calls itself the Islamic state . In fact , officials insist that Isis has been degraded substantially thanks to a combination of air power and ground combat . The biggest and most recent example of this came with the recapture a few weeks ago of Tikrit , the hometown of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein that is located some 100 miles -LRB- 160 kilometers -RRB- north of Baghdad . Iraqi forces aided by iranian-backed Shiite militiamen took that northern city , the same place where Isis allegedly massacred Iraqi troops last year . Still , Mosul is n't Tikrit . For one thing , it has a lot more people -- about a million , one Obama administration official noted . And it 's more important not only to Iraq , but isis , meaning the terrorist group has all the more reason to go all-out to defend it . In some ways , the campaign for Mosul has begun , according to officials . There are no plans for U.S. combat troops involvement in an eventual operation , they say , but airstrikes have already targeted isis positions in the area . Just because the area has been softened up some from the air , though , does n't mean a full ground assault is imminent . Calling for `` patience , '' an administration official said that winning Mosul is a complex endeavor . It will `` take a lot of capacity , '' the official said , `` and some time to build . ''

-LRB- CNN -RRB- '' a long , long , time ago ... '' those five words , when uttered or sung , makes baby boomers immediately think of Don McLean 's pop masterpiece `` American Pie . '' It 's hard to believe that his phenomenal 8 1/2 minute allegory , which millions of Americans know by heart , is 44 years old . All sorts of historical cross-currents play off each other in this timeless song , brilliantly gilded with the unforgettable chorus , which starts as `` bye , bye , Miss American Pie . '' There is no real way to categorize McLean 's `` American Pie '' for its hybrid of modern poetry and Folk Ballad , beer-hall chant and high-art rock . On Tuesday , Christie 's sold the 16-page handwritten manuscript of the Song 's lyrics for $ 1.2 million to an unnamed buyer . McLean was a paperboy when , on February 3 , 1959 , he saw that Buddy Holly , Ritchie Valens and J.P. `` the big bopper '' Richardson had been tragically killed in an airplane crash in clear lake , Iowa . `` The next day I went to school in shock and guess what ? '' McLean recalled . `` nobody cared . Rock ' N ' roll in those days was sort of like Hula hoops and buddy had n't had a big hit on the charts since '57 . '' By cathartically writing `` American Pie , '' McLean has guaranteed that the memory of those great musicians lives forever . Having recorded his first album , `` tapestry , '' in 1969 , in Berkeley , California , during the student riots , McLean , a native New Yorker , became a kind of weather vane for what he called the `` generation lost in space . '' When his cultural anthem `` American Pie '' was released in November 1971 , it replaced Bob Dylan 's `` The Times they are a Changin '' as the peoples Almanac of the new decade . It 's important to think of `` American Pie '' as one would of Henry longfellow 's `` evangeline '' or Johnny Mercer 's `` Moon River '' -- an Essential Americana poem emanating wistful recollection , Blues Valentine , and youthful protest rolled into one . There is magic brewing in the music and words of `` American Pie , '' for McLean 's lyrics and melody frame a cosmic dream , like those Jack Kerouac tried to conjure in his poetry-infused novel `` on the road . '' Don McLean : Buddy Holly , rest in peace . Influenced by Pete Seeger and the Weavers , McLean proudly wore the mantle of troubadour in the early 1970s , when `` American Pie '' topped the billboard charts , and has never shed the Cape . Wandering far and wide , singing `` American Pie '' at windblown dance halls in Wyoming and cloistered colleges in New England , at huge amphitheaters in California and little coffee houses in the Hudson River valley , McLean has performed his global anthem thousands of times . Yet the encore number never loses its transfixing allure . When McLean prods audiences by rhapsodizing `` and they were singing '' everybody spontaneously joins in with the `` bye , bye '' chorus . Watching McLean deliver his most notable song in concert is to take part in a collective happening . What makes `` American Pie '' so unusual is that it is n't a relic from the counterculture but a talisman , which , like a sacred river , keeps bringing joy to listeners everywhere . When `` American Pie '' suddenly is played on a jukebox or radio it 's almost impossible not to sing along . Like `` Danny boy '' or `` streets of Laredo '' or `` Shenandoah , '' it 's eternal . With illusions to football fields and rock ' N ' roll , River Levees and nursery rhymes , the song cascades along like a boat going down Niagara Falls or a roller coaster that jumps tracks but floats instead of crashes . After all these years , `` American Pie '' still makes me feel empowered and yet filled with a sense of loss . The song is alive and joyful , yet fretful about a world gone wrong . It is a song that will never die . A reverie for the ages . There is a jump to the chorus , which forces the mind to relive the '50s , '60s and '70s , to troll through the back pages of our lives while , like a traditional Irish Folksong , it reminds us of fate . While McLean , the Muse , has rightfully not tried to interpret `` American Pie , '' it 's fair to surmise that `` the king '' is Elvis Presley , `` helter skelter '' refers to the Charles Manson murders , the `` jester on the sidelines in a cast '' is Bob Dylan , and `` Jack Flash '' the rolling stones . But who knows ? The lyric remains a puzzle open to thousands of spirited interpretations . As a literary artifact of the early 1970s , there is n't anything to compare to `` American Pie . '' Normally , I do n't like rankings of literature or songs or even presidents , for that matter . But the fact that the recording industry of America and the National Endowment of the arts chose `` American Pie '' as the Fifth Greatest Song of the 20th century speaks to the composition 's importance as an enduring piece of pop art . The other four were `` over the rainbow '' -LRB- by Harold Arlen and e.y `` Yip '' Harburg -RRB- , `` white Christmas `` -LRB- by Irving Berlin -RRB- , `` this land is your land '' -LRB- by Woody Guthrie -RRB- and `` respect '' -LRB- by Otis redding -RRB- .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- '' a long , long , time ago ... '' those five words , when uttered or sung , makes baby boomers immediately think of Don McLean 's pop masterpiece `` American Pie . '' It 's hard to believe that his phenomenal 8 1/2 minute allegory , which millions of Americans know by heart , is 44 years old . All sorts of historical cross-currents play off each other in this timeless song , brilliantly gilded with the unforgettable chorus , which starts as `` bye , bye , Miss American Pie . '' There is no real way to categorize McLean 's `` American Pie '' for its hybrid of modern poetry and Folk Ballad , beer-hall chant and high-art rock . On Tuesday , Christie 's sold the 16-page handwritten manuscript of the Song 's lyrics for $ 1.2 million to an unnamed buyer . McLean was a paperboy when , on February 3 , 1959 , he saw that Buddy Holly , Ritchie Valens and J.P. `` the big bopper '' Richardson had been tragically killed in an airplane crash in clear lake , Iowa . `` The next day I went to school in shock and guess what ? '' McLean recalled . `` nobody cared . Rock ' N ' roll in those days was sort of like Hula hoops and buddy had n't had a big hit on the charts since '57 . '' By cathartically writing `` American Pie , '' McLean has guaranteed that the memory of those great musicians lives forever . Having recorded his first album , `` tapestry , '' in 1969 , in Berkeley , California , during the student riots , McLean , a native New Yorker , became a kind of weather vane for what he called the `` generation lost in space . '' When his cultural anthem `` American Pie '' was released in November 1971 , it replaced Bob Dylan 's `` The Times they are a Changin '' as the peoples Almanac of the new decade . It 's important to think of `` American Pie '' as one would of Henry longfellow 's `` evangeline '' or Johnny Mercer 's `` Moon River '' -- an Essential Americana poem emanating wistful recollection , Blues Valentine , and youthful protest rolled into one . There is magic brewing in the music and words of `` American Pie , '' for McLean 's lyrics and melody frame a cosmic dream , like those Jack Kerouac tried to conjure in his poetry-infused novel `` on the road . '' Don McLean : Buddy Holly , rest in peace . Influenced by Pete Seeger and the Weavers , McLean proudly wore the mantle of troubadour in the early 1970s , when `` American Pie '' topped the billboard charts , and has never shed the Cape . Wandering far and wide , singing `` American Pie '' at windblown dance halls in Wyoming and cloistered colleges in New England , at huge amphitheaters in California and little coffee houses in the Hudson River valley , McLean has performed his global anthem thousands of times . Yet the encore number never loses its transfixing allure . When McLean prods audiences by rhapsodizing `` and they were singing '' everybody spontaneously joins in with the `` bye , bye '' chorus . Watching McLean deliver his most notable song in concert is to take part in a collective happening . What makes `` American Pie '' so unusual is that it is n't a relic from the counterculture but a talisman , which , like a sacred river , keeps bringing joy to listeners everywhere . When `` American Pie '' suddenly is played on a jukebox or radio it 's almost impossible not to sing along . Like `` Danny boy '' or `` streets of Laredo '' or `` Shenandoah , '' it 's eternal . With illusions to football fields and rock ' N ' roll , River Levees and nursery rhymes , the song cascades along like a boat going down Niagara Falls or a roller coaster that jumps tracks but floats instead of crashes . After all these years , `` American Pie '' still makes me feel empowered and yet filled with a sense of loss . The song is alive and joyful , yet fretful about a world gone wrong . It is a song that will never die . A reverie for the ages . There is a jump to the chorus , which forces the mind to relive the '50s , '60s and '70s , to troll through the back pages of our lives while , like a traditional Irish Folksong , it reminds us of fate . While McLean , the Muse , has rightfully not tried to interpret `` American Pie , '' it 's fair to surmise that `` the king '' is Elvis Presley , `` helter skelter '' refers to the Charles Manson murders , the `` jester on the sidelines in a cast '' is Bob Dylan , and `` Jack Flash '' the rolling stones . But who knows ? The lyric remains a puzzle open to thousands of spirited interpretations . As a literary artifact of the early 1970s , there is n't anything to compare to `` American Pie . '' Normally , I do n't like rankings of literature or songs or even presidents , for that matter . But the fact that the recording industry of America and the National Endowment of the arts chose `` American Pie '' as the Fifth Greatest Song of the 20th century speaks to the composition 's importance as an enduring piece of pop art . The other four were `` over the rainbow '' -LRB- by Harold Arlen and e.y `` Yip '' Harburg -RRB- , `` white Christmas `` -LRB- by Irving Berlin -RRB- , `` this land is your land '' -LRB- by Woody Guthrie -RRB- and `` respect '' -LRB- by Otis redding -RRB- .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- an Amnesty International report is calling for authorities to address the number of attacks on women 's rights activists in Afghanistan . The report , entitled `` their lives on the line , '' examines the persecution of activists and other champions of women 's rights not only by the Taliban and tribal warlords , but also by government officials . Its publication is timely . The brutal murder of Farkhunda , a young woman in Afghanistan , whose body was burnt and callously chucked into a river in Kabul , shocked the world . Accused of burning pages from the Muslim holy book , the Quran , many protested the 27-year-old 's innocence . But what also made international headlines was the fact that for the first time in history , women in Afghanistan became pallbearers , hoisting the victim 's coffin on their shoulders draped with headscarves , under the gazes of men ; unreservedly sobbing and shouting messages of Women 's solidarity as they marched along the streets . In a country ranked in 2011 by a Thomson Reuters Foundation poll as the most dangerous place in the world for women , this feminist act seemed perilous . Latest figures suggest they were risking their lives to be heard . In 2013 , the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan -LRB- UNAMA -RRB- released statistics that showed the number of women killed in the country had increased by 20 % from the previous year , although the number of civilian victims had decreased , said Amnesty in the report . The special representative of the U.N. Secretary-general in Afghanistan at the time , Jan Kubis , told the U.N. Security Council that `` the majority -LRB- of women killed -RRB- is linked to domestic violence , tradition , culture of the country . `` women activists have been deliberately targeted . '' And according to the human rights group , little support has come from those in power . `` The Afghan government has done very little to protect them , '' Amnesty 's Afghanistan researcher , Horia Mosadiq , tells CNN . `` perpetrators almost always walk free , and threats reported by women rights defenders are often simply ignored . `` Many women defenders we spoke to said that even when they received some protection from authorities , it was often significantly less than what male counterparts or colleagues were afforded . '' During the attack on Farkhunda , `` many eyewitnesses have testified that police officers stood idly by while this woman was being lynched and killed , '' says Mosadiq . twenty-six people were arrested and thirteen police officials suspended in connection with the attack , but she argues that this is insufficient . `` suspending police officers is not enough , those who failed in their duty must also be held to account -- anything less will just encourage further mob violence . '' But what is striking is the resilience of the activists , who continue their work despite their lives being on the line . `` It was a remarkable moment , '' says Mosadiq , recalling the female protesters at Farkhunda 's funeral . `` unlike anything I have seen in my decades of campaigning for women 's rights in our country . '' selay Ghaffer , 32 , is a women 's rights activist and spokesperson for the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan -- a small but outspoken political party based in Kabul and twenty provinces that fights for issues such as democracy , social justice and women 's rights . The party was the first to be banned in the country for accusing Afghan leaders and commanders of war crimes and demanding that they be brought to justice . Taking part in Farkhunda 's funeral and protests against her death , she tells CNN that despite the onslaught of violence against Afghan women over the years , this was the worst case . But the opportunity was taken to deliver a clear message . `` So the women of Afghanistan showed that we will not keep silent anymore ... and we are not ready to accept more brutality and violence against women , '' said Ghaffer . `` So this is why we decided to carry the dead body of Farkhunda on our own shoulders and show to the world that not only men can do it and somehow broke the traditionalism that -LRB- a -RRB- man has to do this job . '' Surprisingly , she says that male onlookers supported their mission , although they are in the minority overall in the country . `` Men -LRB- at the funeral -RRB- , they said you have to do this , because this is how you can change the hatred in Afghanistan . `` without men , it is not possible for women to get their rights , '' she says . `` So these men and women were working together . But at the same time , women need to step forward for their rights . '' Mosadiq says the fight for women 's rights was established a while ago . `` Women 's activism in Afghanistan is nothing new -- the women 's rights movement has grown substantially since 2001 , and has fought for and achieved some very significant gains . `` these gains are under threat now , however , and some are even rolled back . It 's essential that the government and its international partners do not allow this to happen . '' Ghaffer herself has been subject to threats because of her work , received through emails and phone calls , at her home and office . But she says she knew what she was getting herself into . `` I knew it was n't an easy task . There might be many challenges and you have to lose your life when you are going and struggling for your rights . `` As a woman , I want to struggle more -LRB- for my rights -RRB- , I want to have more people around me , to struggle with me . '' Mosadiq says it is too soon to talk about a revolution , although the response to Farkhunda 's killing , from both men and women , has been a `` silver lining . '' Ghaffer , however , believes this is the beginning of an uprising -- but she says it needs to keep moving . Interestingly , it was a man in her life that motivated her to fight . `` I must say strongly that it was my father -LRB- who inspired me -RRB- , who is not any more with me , because he ... died three months ago , '' she says . `` He always told me that women always suffered in this country , '' she says , her voice overcome with emotion . `` And you have to struggle for your rights . Because in this traditional , Patriarchal Society , nobody will give these rights -LRB- to -RRB- you . '' She realizes how lucky she is , she adds , in a society where she has witnessed men -- fathers and husbands -- oppressing women as opposed to being their role models . Ghaffer maintains that silence is an injustice to women , not least to the victim of the recent , horrific mob violence . `` So if I should not do it , if another sister is not doing it , then who will do it ? Who will get the rights for us ? We have to struggle for it . `` If we keep our silence , more farkhundas will be killed in this country . ''

-LRB- CNN -RRB- an Amnesty International report is calling for authorities to address the number of attacks on women 's rights activists in Afghanistan . The report , entitled `` their lives on the line , '' examines the persecution of activists and other champions of women 's rights not only by the Taliban and tribal warlords , but also by government officials . Its publication is timely . The brutal murder of Farkhunda , a young woman in Afghanistan , whose body was burnt and callously chucked into a river in Kabul , shocked the world . Accused of burning pages from the Muslim holy book , the Quran , many protested the 27-year-old 's innocence . But what also made international headlines was the fact that for the first time in history , women in Afghanistan became pallbearers , hoisting the victim 's coffin on their shoulders draped with headscarves , under the gazes of men ; unreservedly sobbing and shouting messages of Women 's solidarity as they marched along the streets . In a country ranked in 2011 by a Thomson Reuters Foundation poll as the most dangerous place in the world for women , this feminist act seemed perilous . Latest figures suggest they were risking their lives to be heard . In 2013 , the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan -LRB- UNAMA -RRB- released statistics that showed the number of women killed in the country had increased by 20 % from the previous year , although the number of civilian victims had decreased , said Amnesty in the report . The special representative of the U.N. Secretary-general in Afghanistan at the time , Jan Kubis , told the U.N. Security Council that `` the majority -LRB- of women killed -RRB- is linked to domestic violence , tradition , culture of the country . `` women activists have been deliberately targeted . '' And according to the human rights group , little support has come from those in power . `` The Afghan government has done very little to protect them , '' Amnesty 's Afghanistan researcher , Horia Mosadiq , tells CNN . `` perpetrators almost always walk free , and threats reported by women rights defenders are often simply ignored . `` Many women defenders we spoke to said that even when they received some protection from authorities , it was often significantly less than what male counterparts or colleagues were afforded . '' During the attack on Farkhunda , `` many eyewitnesses have testified that police officers stood idly by while this woman was being lynched and killed , '' says Mosadiq . twenty-six people were arrested and thirteen police officials suspended in connection with the attack , but she argues that this is insufficient . `` suspending police officers is not enough , those who failed in their duty must also be held to account -- anything less will just encourage further mob violence . '' But what is striking is the resilience of the activists , who continue their work despite their lives being on the line . `` It was a remarkable moment , '' says Mosadiq , recalling the female protesters at Farkhunda 's funeral . `` unlike anything I have seen in my decades of campaigning for women 's rights in our country . '' selay Ghaffer , 32 , is a women 's rights activist and spokesperson for the Solidarity Party of Afghanistan -- a small but outspoken political party based in Kabul and twenty provinces that fights for issues such as democracy , social justice and women 's rights . The party was the first to be banned in the country for accusing Afghan leaders and commanders of war crimes and demanding that they be brought to justice . Taking part in Farkhunda 's funeral and protests against her death , she tells CNN that despite the onslaught of violence against Afghan women over the years , this was the worst case . But the opportunity was taken to deliver a clear message . `` So the women of Afghanistan showed that we will not keep silent anymore ... and we are not ready to accept more brutality and violence against women , '' said Ghaffer . `` So this is why we decided to carry the dead body of Farkhunda on our own shoulders and show to the world that not only men can do it and somehow broke the traditionalism that -LRB- a -RRB- man has to do this job . '' Surprisingly , she says that male onlookers supported their mission , although they are in the minority overall in the country . `` Men -LRB- at the funeral -RRB- , they said you have to do this , because this is how you can change the hatred in Afghanistan . `` without men , it is not possible for women to get their rights , '' she says . `` So these men and women were working together . But at the same time , women need to step forward for their rights . '' Mosadiq says the fight for women 's rights was established a while ago . `` Women 's activism in Afghanistan is nothing new -- the women 's rights movement has grown substantially since 2001 , and has fought for and achieved some very significant gains . `` these gains are under threat now , however , and some are even rolled back . It 's essential that the government and its international partners do not allow this to happen . '' Ghaffer herself has been subject to threats because of her work , received through emails and phone calls , at her home and office . But she says she knew what she was getting herself into . `` I knew it was n't an easy task . There might be many challenges and you have to lose your life when you are going and struggling for your rights . `` As a woman , I want to struggle more -LRB- for my rights -RRB- , I want to have more people around me , to struggle with me . '' Mosadiq says it is too soon to talk about a revolution , although the response to Farkhunda 's killing , from both men and women , has been a `` silver lining . '' Ghaffer , however , believes this is the beginning of an uprising -- but she says it needs to keep moving . Interestingly , it was a man in her life that motivated her to fight . `` I must say strongly that it was my father -LRB- who inspired me -RRB- , who is not any more with me , because he ... died three months ago , '' she says . `` He always told me that women always suffered in this country , '' she says , her voice overcome with emotion . `` And you have to struggle for your rights . Because in this traditional , Patriarchal Society , nobody will give these rights -LRB- to -RRB- you . '' She realizes how lucky she is , she adds , in a society where she has witnessed men -- fathers and husbands -- oppressing women as opposed to being their role models . Ghaffer maintains that silence is an injustice to women , not least to the victim of the recent , horrific mob violence . `` So if I should not do it , if another sister is not doing it , then who will do it ? Who will get the rights for us ? We have to struggle for it . `` If we keep our silence , more farkhundas will be killed in this country . ''

Havana , Cuba -LRB- CNN -RRB- all eyes are going to be on the new kid finally allowed to play and the big kid who for so long wanted nothing to do with him -- Cuba and the United States in the same diplomatic playground . Cuba pulled off a diplomatic coup by marshaling the support of other regional countries to insist on their attendance at the Summit of the Americas . And for the first time since 1962 , the U.S. has not blocked Cuba 's attempt to join . Now it 's time to see how they play and who they play with -- especially Venezuela , which often falls out with Washington for crushing dissent at home and supplying Havana with billions of dollars in oil . Cuba is trying to re-establish itself at the two-day summit in Panama , arriving with more than 100 government officials , diplomats , small business people and artists . But Cuba 's attempts to rebrand itself as an open , diverse society stumbled Wednesday when government supporters and anti-castro supporters brawled in the streets of Panama . Video of the incident showed Cuban government officials exchanging punches and insults with dissidents until Panamanian police in riot gear broke up the melee . With the historic thawing in relations between the U.S. and Cuba , Washington now has urgent business to discuss with Havana . `` We have really big issues with the Cubans that do need to be solved , '' said Ambassador Vicki Huddleston , who served as the chief of the U.S . Interests Section in Havana . She added `` the Cubans are typical of their negotiating style . You think it 's going to be easy because we have said ' we are going to have good relations with you ' and they say , ' that 's not exciting for us and it is for you . ' So they are hard negotiators as they always have been . '' The forum could provide the opportunity to push forward an agreement to re-establish formal relations and re-open embassies after nearly four months of negotiations . While President Barack Obama is not scheduled to meet Cuban leader Raul Castro , U.S. officials said there will be opportunities for `` interaction '' between the two leaders . The first time the two heads of state met was in 2013 at Nelson Mandela 's funeral . Their brief handshake captured the world 's attention and lit up social media . Few people then knew that the two countries were secretly involved in negotiations to thaw five decades of deadlocked cold war-era relations . Obama had said he had hoped a U.S. embassy would reopen in Havana before the summit , but Cuban officials have said they can not imagine a full restoration of diplomatic ties until Cuba is removed from the U.S. State Department list of countries that support terrorism . `` It would be difficult to explain that diplomatic relations have been resumed while Cuba has been unjustly listed as a state sponsor of international terrorism , '' said Josefina Vidal , the General Director of U.S. affairs at the Cuban Foreign Ministry and lead negotiator in the talks . Cuba was added to the list in 1982 , which includes Syria , Iran and Sudan . The designation carries financial sanctions which Cuban officials say further damages their already ailing economy . The State Department has sent a recommendation to the White House that Cuba be removed , paving the way for the White House to announce its intent to de-list Cuba as early as this week , two administration officials told CNN . Removal from the list `` does not relate to whether or not we agree with everything a country does or whether we agree with its political system , or its foreign policy , '' deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday . `` It 's a very practical review as to whether or not a government is sponsoring terrorism . '' Rhodes also dialed backed rhetoric on Venezuela , saying the country did not pose a national security threat to the United States , despite a recent declaration to that effect . The designation was meant to allow officials to target seven allegedly corrupt Venezuelan officials , but it ignited a firestorm , particularly in Cuba , which has close ties to Venezuela . Deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was a friend and admirer of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro . Chavez 's successor Nicolas Maduro continues to send Cuba tens of thousands of barrels of oil each day , despite his country 's own economic turmoil . In exchange , Cuba sends doctors , military advisers and sports trainers to Venezuela . In Cuba 's state-run media , criticism of U.S. policy towards Venezuela has overshadowed the improvement in U.S.-CUBA relations . In March , Fidel Castro published a letter criticizing the U.S. ' `` brutal plans towards '' Venezuela and the Cuban government promised `` unconditional aid '' to help defend against American threats . Its remains to be seen how much Cuba will risk its warming relations with the United States to back up ally Venezuela . But apparently there is little doubt among the Cuban people on what their government should do . A poll of 1,200 Cubans released on Wednesday found that 97 % of the people surveyed by miami-based polling firm Bendixen & Amandi on behalf of the Washington Post and UNIVISION noticias/fusion supported improved U.S.-CUBAN relations .

Cuba pulled off a diplomatic coup by gaining attendance at Summit of the Americas. First time since 0000, the U.S. has not blocked Cuba's attempt to join. Cuba is trying to re-establish itself at the two-day summit in Panama.

Video of the incident showed Cuban government officials exchanging punches and insults with dissidents until Panamanian police in riot gear broke up the melee . With the historic thawing in relations between the U.S. and Cuba , Washington now has urgent business to discuss with Havana . `` We have really big issues with the Cubans that do need to be solved , '' said Ambassador Vicki Huddleston , who served as the chief of the U.S . Interests Section in Havana . She added `` the Cubans are typical of their negotiating style . You think it 's going to be easy because we have said ' we are going to have good relations with you ' and they say , ' that 's not exciting for us and it is for you . ' So they are hard negotiators as they always have been . '' The forum could provide the opportunity to push forward an agreement to re-establish formal relations and re-open embassies after nearly four months of negotiations . While President Barack Obama is not scheduled to meet Cuban leader Raul Castro , U.S. officials said there will be opportunities for `` interaction '' between the two leaders . The first time the two heads of state met was in 2013 at Nelson Mandela 's funeral . Their brief handshake captured the world 's attention and lit up social media . Few people then knew that the two countries were secretly involved in negotiations to thaw five decades of deadlocked cold war-era relations . Obama had said he had hoped a U.S. embassy would reopen in Havana before the summit , but Cuban officials have said they can not imagine a full restoration of diplomatic ties until Cuba is removed from the U.S. State Department list of countries that support terrorism . `` It would be difficult to explain that diplomatic relations have been resumed while Cuba has been unjustly listed as a state sponsor of international terrorism , '' said Josefina Vidal , the General Director of U.S. affairs at the Cuban Foreign Ministry and lead negotiator in the talks . Cuba was added to the list in 1982 , which includes Syria , Iran and Sudan . The designation carries financial sanctions which Cuban officials say further damages their already ailing economy . The State Department has sent a recommendation to the White House that Cuba be removed , paving the way for the White House to announce its intent to de-list Cuba as early as this week , two administration officials told CNN . Removal from the list `` does not relate to whether or not we agree with everything a country does or whether we agree with its political system , or its foreign policy , '' deputy national security adviser Ben Rhodes said on a conference call with reporters Tuesday . `` It 's a very practical review as to whether or not a government is sponsoring terrorism . '' Rhodes also dialed backed rhetoric on Venezuela , saying the country did not pose a national security threat to the United States , despite a recent declaration to that effect . The designation was meant to allow officials to target seven allegedly corrupt Venezuelan officials , but it ignited a firestorm , particularly in Cuba , which has close ties to Venezuela . Deceased Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez was a friend and admirer of former Cuban leader Fidel Castro . Chavez 's successor Nicolas Maduro continues to send Cuba tens of thousands of barrels of oil each day , despite his country 's own economic turmoil . In exchange , Cuba sends doctors , military advisers and sports trainers to Venezuela . In Cuba 's state-run media , criticism of U.S. policy towards Venezuela has overshadowed the improvement in U.S.-CUBA relations . In March , Fidel Castro published a letter criticizing the U.S. ' `` brutal plans towards '' Venezuela and the Cuban government promised `` unconditional aid '' to help defend against American threats . Its remains to be seen how much Cuba will risk its warming relations with the United States to back up ally Venezuela . But apparently there is little doubt among the Cuban people on what their government should do .

Tokyo -LRB- CNN -RRB- the operator of the crippled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant has given up trying to recover a robotic probe after it stopped moving inside one of the reactors . Tokyo Electric Power Company -LRB- TEPCO -RRB- deployed the remote-controlled robot on Friday inside one of the damaged reactors that had suffered a meltdown following a devastating earthquake and tsunami in 2011 . It was the first time the probe had been used . The robot , set out to collect data on radiation levels and investigate the spread of debris , stalled after moving about 10 meters , according to a statement released by TEPCO . A newly released report and footage from the robot shows that a fallen object had blocked its path and left it stranded . Tepco decided to cut off the cable connected to the device Sunday as it had already covered two-thirds of the originally planned route . It managed to collect data on radiation levels in 14 of the 18 targeted locations . Four years after the devastating nuclear crisis , the radiation levels inside the three damaged reactors are still extremely high and remain unsafe for people to enter . Decommissioning work is estimated to cost $ 50 billion and will take years to complete . TEPCO called the robotic probe an `` unprecedented '' experiment . CNN 's Yoko Wakatsuki reported from Tokyo , Japan and Naomi Ng wrote from Hong Kong .

The operator of the Fukushima nuclear plant said it has abandoned a robotic probe inside one of the damaged reactors. A report stated that a fallen object has left the robot stranded. The robot collected data on radiation levels and investigated the spread of debris.

-LRB- CNN -RRB- a former U.S. army enlistee who posted on facebook about `` the adrenaline rush '' of dying in Jihad was arrested Friday and charged with trying to detonate a car bomb at Fort Riley military base in Kansas , authorities said . A second man , who allegedly knew about the bomb plot but did n't call authorities , was charged with failing to report a felony . John T. Booker Jr. of Topeka , an American citizen also known as Mohammed Abdullah Hassan , was taken into custody near Manhattan , Kansas , in a van that contained what he thought was a bomb , the criminal complaint said . The `` bomb '' had actually been put together by two confidential informants with nonexplosive materials , the complaint said . Fort Riley 's security was never breached and no people were in danger , the U.S. Justice Department said in a press release . Booker enlisted in the army last year and was due to ship out to basic training April 7 , 2014 , said army spokesman Wayne Hall . The criminal complaint said the FBI questioned him March 24 , 2014 about comments posted on facebook , such as , `` getting ready to be killed in jihad is a huge adrenaline rush . I am so nervous . Not because I 'm scare to die but I am eager to meet my Lord . '' Booker waived his Miranda rights and told the agents he enlisted to commit an insider attack against American soldiers like Maj. Nidal Hassan had done at Fort Hood , Texas , the complaint said . Hassan opened fire in a building in November 2009 , killing 13 people and wounding more than 30 . His enlistment was terminated March 24 , 2014 , at the request of Army Criminal Investigation Command , Hall said . Booker began communicating with a confidential informant later in 2014 , the complaint said , and often talked about his plans to engage in violent jihad in support of Isis . He and the informant watched isis videos together , the complaint said , and Booker talked about how he wanted to go to Iraq and turn his weapon on American soldiers when ordered to shoot the enemy . On March 9 , Booker said he believed Isis wanted him to commit a truck bombing in the United States and thought a good target would be nearby Fort Riley , a large army base that 's home to the 1st Infantry Division , known as `` the Big Red One . '' Booker said `` that detonating a suicide bomb is his no . 1 aspiration because he could n't be captured , all evidence would be destroyed and he would be guaranteed to hit his target , '' the criminal complaint said . He made a video with a Fort Riley airfield in the background and said Isis was coming to kill American soldiers , both abroad and in the United States , the complaint said . Booker acquired components for a bomb and rented a storage locker to store the components , the complaint said . The plan was for confidential informants to build a bomb and for booker to drive to Fort Riley and detonate it , the complaint said . But the bomb was built with `` inert '' parts and would never explode , the complaint said . On Friday , the informants and booker drove to what booker thought was a little-used utility gate near Fort Riley , the complaint said . While booker was making final connections on the `` bomb , '' the FBI arrested him , the complaint said . He was charged with one count of attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction , one count of attempting to damage property by means of an explosive and one count of attempting to provide material support to the Islamic state of Iraq , a designated foreign terrorist organization . If convicted , he could face life in prison . Alexander E. Blair , 28 , of Topeka was taken into custody Friday and charged with failing to report a felony . The FBI said agents interviewed Blair after Booker 's arrest . Blair said he shared some of Booker 's views , knew of his plans to detonate a vehicle bomb at Fort Riley and loaned him money to rent storage space , according to the FBI 's criminal complaint . He said he thought Booker would carry out his plan but did not contact authorities , the complaint said . If convicted , Blair faces a maximum of three years in prison .

Alexander Blair, 00, of Topeka accused of knowing about bomb plot but not contacting authorities. Fort Riley's security was never breached and the device was "inert" and not a threat, authorities say. John T. Booker Jr., 00, of Topeka had acquired bomb parts and made a propaganda video, the Justice Department says.

-LRB- CNN -RRB- on the surface , the mix-up seems incomprehensible : How can a volunteer sheriff 's deputy accidentally fire a handgun instead of a Taser , killing a man ? That 's apparently what happened in Tulsa , Oklahoma , when a 73-year-old reserve deputy , Robert Bates , killed Eric Harris . Bates said he meant to use his stun gun but ended up firing his handgun instead . `` Oh ! I shot him . I 'm sorry , '' Bates said in a video of the shooting . But it 's happened before . In a well-publicized 2009 case , a bay area rapid transit police officer fired his gun instead of his Taser , killing 22-year-old Oscar grant in Oakland , California . The former officer , Johannes Mehserle , testified that he had meant to use his Taser but drew his gun instead . Mehserle was sentenced to two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter but was released early due to good conduct . So how easy -- or hard -- is it to draw and fire a handgun mistakenly instead of a Taser ? Here are some factors to consider : law enforcement experts say the gun should be holstered on the officer 's dominant side of the body , and the Taser should be placed on the nondominant side . So if an officer is left-handed , the gun should be on the left side . Bates ' Attorney said his client is left-handed . But the reserve deputy said his gun was holstered on his right side -- his nondominanant side . `` I shoot long guns left handed and handguns right handed , '' Bates said in a written statement to investigators . After Bates announced at the scene he was going to use his taser , he `` used his nondominant hand , and it was the gun , '' said Clark Brewster , Bates ' attorney . `` He said that he saw the laser sight on the shoulder , assumed it was the Taser , '' brewster said . `` Both the gun and the Taser have a laser sight , and he just made a mistake . '' Brewster also said his client 's left hand was holding a pepper gun . In his statement to investigators , Bates said he had grabbed a `` pepper ball launcher '' to try to slow or stop Harris , who was running away . Bates did not say explicitly where the Taser was on his body . But he admitted to grabbing the wrong device and said he was `` startled '' by the recoil of the gun . `` after realizing what had happened I was in a state of shock and disbelief , '' he told investigators . Bates is now charged with second-degree manslaughter . If convicted , he faces up to four years in prison . Deputy who shot Eric Harris turns himself in . Bates was carrying his personal gun , a Smith & Wesson .357 five-shot Revolver , and a model X26 Taser , he said in his statement to investigators . Attorneys representing the Harris family said there are stark differences between the two devices . One held up a small black .357 revolver , followed by a mostly bright yellow Taser that was noticeably larger than the gun . `` There 's no way an officer can get this confused with this , '' said one of the attorneys from the law firm of smolen , SMOLEN & Roytman . Taser 's X26 model comes in different designs . Some are mostly yellow , while others are mostly black with a yellow panel in the middle . But ALL APPEAR TO BE LARGER THAN SMITH & Wesson .357 five-shot revolvers . Sgt . Jim Clark of the Tulsa Police Department -- which is separate from the county sheriff 's Office for which Bates volunteered -- said bates was the `` victim '' of something called `` slip and capture . '' That 's when a person intends to do one thing but instead does another in a high-stress situation . But a criminal justice expert told CNN the claim amounts to `` junk science . '' `` There 's no peer-reviewed articles that would support this . ... It 's not generally accepted by the scientific community , '' said Phil Stinson , an assistant professor of criminal justice at Bowling Green State University . `` So it 's something that in most courts would not be admissible as evidence . '' An attorney for the Harris family said the `` slip and capture '' theory has n't held up in court . `` The only time slip and capture has ever been used as a defense was in the shooting in Oakland -LRB- of Oscar Grant -RRB- , '' the attorney said . And that defense failed . Tasers are built to feel and look different than guns , according to Taser International . Steve Tuttle , Vice President for strategic communications at Taser , noted some of those differences to CNN : A gun is heavier . A Taser has a different grip and feel . When you take the safety off on a Taser , an led control panel lights up . There 's more : Tasers can be different colors -LRB- yellow or black -RRB- , and the holster is different from a gun 's .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- on the surface , the mix-up seems incomprehensible : How can a volunteer sheriff 's deputy accidentally fire a handgun instead of a Taser , killing a man ? That 's apparently what happened in Tulsa , Oklahoma , when a 73-year-old reserve deputy , Robert Bates , killed Eric Harris . Bates said he meant to use his stun gun but ended up firing his handgun instead . `` Oh ! I shot him . I 'm sorry , '' Bates said in a video of the shooting . But it 's happened before . In a well-publicized 2009 case , a bay area rapid transit police officer fired his gun instead of his Taser , killing 22-year-old Oscar grant in Oakland , California . The former officer , Johannes Mehserle , testified that he had meant to use his Taser but drew his gun instead . Mehserle was sentenced to two years in prison for involuntary manslaughter but was released early due to good conduct . So how easy -- or hard -- is it to draw and fire a handgun mistakenly instead of a Taser ? Here are some factors to consider : law enforcement experts say the gun should be holstered on the officer 's dominant side of the body , and the Taser should be placed on the nondominant side . So if an officer is left-handed , the gun should be on the left side . Bates ' Attorney said his client is left-handed . But the reserve deputy said his gun was holstered on his right side -- his nondominanant side . `` I shoot long guns left handed and handguns right handed , '' Bates said in a written statement to investigators . After Bates announced at the scene he was going to use his taser , he `` used his nondominant hand , and it was the gun , '' said Clark Brewster , Bates ' attorney . `` He said that he saw the laser sight on the shoulder , assumed it was the Taser , '' brewster said . `` Both the gun and the Taser have a laser sight , and he just made a mistake . '' Brewster also said his client 's left hand was holding a pepper gun . In his statement to investigators , Bates said he had grabbed a `` pepper ball launcher '' to try to slow or stop Harris , who was running away . Bates did not say explicitly where the Taser was on his body . But he admitted to grabbing the wrong device and said he was `` startled '' by the recoil of the gun . `` after realizing what had happened I was in a state of shock and disbelief , '' he told investigators . Bates is now charged with second-degree manslaughter . If convicted , he faces up to four years in prison . Deputy who shot Eric Harris turns himself in . Bates was carrying his personal gun , a Smith & Wesson .357 five-shot Revolver , and a model X26 Taser , he said in his statement to investigators . Attorneys representing the Harris family said there are stark differences between the two devices . One held up a small black .357 revolver , followed by a mostly bright yellow Taser that was noticeably larger than the gun . `` There 's no way an officer can get this confused with this , '' said one of the attorneys from the law firm of smolen , SMOLEN & Roytman . Taser 's X26 model comes in different designs . Some are mostly yellow , while others are mostly black with a yellow panel in the middle . But ALL APPEAR TO BE LARGER THAN SMITH & Wesson .357 five-shot revolvers . Sgt . Jim Clark of the Tulsa Police Department -- which is separate from the county sheriff 's Office for which Bates volunteered -- said bates was the `` victim '' of something called `` slip and capture . '' That 's when a person intends to do one thing but instead does another in a high-stress situation . But a criminal justice expert told CNN the claim amounts to `` junk science . '' `` There 's no peer-reviewed articles that would support this . ... It 's not generally accepted by the scientific community , '' said Phil Stinson , an assistant professor of criminal justice at Bowling Green State University . `` So it 's something that in most courts would not be admissible as evidence . '' An attorney for the Harris family said the `` slip and capture '' theory has n't held up in court . `` The only time slip and capture has ever been used as a defense was in the shooting in Oakland -LRB- of Oscar Grant -RRB- , '' the attorney said . And that defense failed . Tasers are built to feel and look different than guns , according to Taser International . Steve Tuttle , Vice President for strategic communications at Taser , noted some of those differences to CNN : A gun is heavier . A Taser has a different grip and feel . When you take the safety off on a Taser , an led control panel lights up . There 's more : Tasers can be different colors -LRB- yellow or black -RRB- , and the holster is different from a gun 's .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- ESPN 's Britt McHenry this week found herself in the news , rather than reporting on it , after a video surfaced showing her berating and belittling an employee of a tow company in Arlington , Virginia .

'' And , finally , `` lose some weight , baby girl . '' It 's pretty cringe-worthy stuff that seems difficult , if not impossible , to defend . McHenry quickly issued an apology , blaming the incident on a moment of intense frustration but admitting her mistake and accepting responsibility . It was , however , too late : the # firebrittmchenry Hashtag was already trending on twitter , where she was called everything from classist , class-less , and `` ugly on the inside '' to a `` Sad , self-hating coward . '' ESPN , meanwhile , announced that McHenry would be suspended for a week . Certainly McHenry should have known better than to have used such words , even if that 's what she was thinking , least of all because in our youtube age , such missteps always come to light . But while McHenry 's reaction could very well have been a result of an overblown sense of entitlement , evidence of a mean girl who never left high school , what 's also troubling is how quickly and gleefully the rest of US issued blame on McHenry without fully knowing -- or , it seems , caring about -- the other side of the story . The video that was released -- by the tow company -- was heavily edited and included only McHenry 's responses , not the comments of the employee who may have provoked her and contributed to an argument that clearly escalates as the video goes on . McHenry knew she was being taped ; at one point , she looks directly at the camera . The employee even threatens to make the video public . Did McHenry keep going because she has that much of a self-destructive streak ? Or because she truly could not help herself ? Or was she confident that any video evidence would show that there were two people playing this particular game ? How Britt McHenry could have responded . These days , there 's nothing we love more than an example of a celebrity fall from grace , whether it 's Lindsay Lohan or Brian Williams or Britt McHenry , who was judged not on the facts but on what we take particular joy in believing : that the over-privileged and semi-famous do not necessarily deserve a fair trial . The high price of public shaming online . Sure , McHenry probably feels entitled , but that 's our doing , too . We 're a society obsessed with putting celebrities on a pedestal -- celebrating them , compensating them .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- ESPN 's Britt McHenry this week found herself in the news , rather than reporting on it , after a video surfaced showing her berating and belittling an employee of a tow company in Arlington , Virginia . Among the highlights , as caught on tape and eventually uploaded to liveleak : `` I 'm on television and you 're in a f**king trailer , honey , '' and `` I would n't work at a scumbag place like this . makes my skin crawl even being here . '' And , finally , `` lose some weight , baby girl . '' It 's pretty cringe-worthy stuff that seems difficult , if not impossible , to defend . McHenry quickly issued an apology , blaming the incident on a moment of intense frustration but admitting her mistake and accepting responsibility . It was , however , too late : the # firebrittmchenry Hashtag was already trending on twitter , where she was called everything from classist , class-less , and `` ugly on the inside '' to a `` Sad , self-hating coward . '' ESPN , meanwhile , announced that McHenry would be suspended for a week . Certainly McHenry should have known better than to have used such words , even if that 's what she was thinking , least of all because in our youtube age , such missteps always come to light .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- tobacco companies including Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds filed suit this week against the Food and Drug Administration alleging that the FDA is violating the companies ' free speech rights . In March , the FDA issued guidance that if significant changes are made to a product 's label , like color or a logo , the product requires new approval from the administration . This holds true even if the product was previously approved . The suit , filed in U.S. District Court in Washington , argues that those guidelines go too far and are too vague . They violate the first amendment because they pre-emptively restrict free speech and exceed the scope of the Tobacco Control Act , the companies claim . The FDA 's actions , the suit says , do not advance a substantial government interest . The plaintiffs also include U.S. smokeless Tobacco Co. , American Snuff Co. , Santa Fe Natural Tobacco Co. and Lorillard Tobacco Co . FDA spokesman Michael Felberbaum said the administration does not comment on litigation . CNN 's Debra Goldschmidt contributed to this report .

Washington -LRB- CNN -RRB- nearly 6 in 10 Americans say that businesses that provide wedding-related services should be required to provide those services to same-sex couples in the same way they would all other customers , even if they have religious objections . A new CNN/ORC poll finds 57 % feel businesses such as caterers or florists should be required to serve gay or lesbian couples just as they would heterosexual couples , while 41 % say they should be allowed to refuse service for religious reasons . That 's a shift from a Pew Research Center poll conducted last fall , which found just 49 % thought businesses ought to be required to serve same-sex couples while 47 % that they should be allowed to refuse service on religious grounds . Since the Pew poll last fall , Indiana 's Religious Freedom Restoration Act , signed into law in late March by Republican governor Mike Pence , sparked a nationwide controversy over whether the law allowed wedding-related businesses to refuse service to gay and lesbian couples . Apple , Walmart and the NCAA all spoke out against the law , while some states and cities with Democratic leaders barred spending public money in Indiana . Pence and other Indiana legislators insisted discrimination was not the law 's intent and a bill to change the original law was signed in early April . In the CNN/ORC poll , most Democrats -LRB- 70 % -RRB- and independents -LRB- 60 % -RRB- say wedding-related businesses should be required to provide services to same-sex couples as they would different-sex couples , while Republicans break broadly the other way , 67 % say religious reasons are a valid justification for refusing service . Full poll results . Looking at Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican party , 60 % in that group say wedding-related businesses should be allowed to refuse services to same-sex couples , but there are sharp divides within that group by age and ideology . Moderate and Liberal Republicans and republican-leaners broadly say wedding-related businesses should be required to serve all couples the same way -LRB- 58 % -RRB- while three-quarters of conservative Republicans favor allowing a caterer or florist to refuse service for religious reasons -LRB- 74 % -RRB- . Among Republicans and republican-leaning independents under age 50 , 56 % say wedding-related businesses should be required to serve same-sex and different-sex couples the same way while among those age 50 or older , 72 % think they should not be required to do so . The Big Gay wedding cake quiz . Age differences hold across party lines , but the generation gap among Republicans and republican-leaners is larger than that among Democrats and democratic-leaning independents . Overall , white evangelicals are broadly in favor of allowing businesses to refuse service for religious reasons - 62 % say they should be able to . But among whites who are not evangelicals , 61 % say such businesses should be required to provide services to all couples the same way . The shift from the Pew Center results comes across demographic lines . Men , women , whites , younger adults and senior citizens all are more apt than in the Pew poll to Say wedding-related business should be required to serve same-sex couples as they do others . The CNN/ORC international poll was conducted by telephone , April 16-19 , among a random national sample of 1,018 adult Americans . Results for the full poll have a margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3 percentage points . Michigan auto repair shop says Yes to gun owners , no to homosexuals .

Most Americans say businesses should not discriminate against same-sex weddings. Public opinion has shifted on the issue since last fall. Indiana passed and later changed its religious freedom law after public outcry.

Washington -LRB- CNN -RRB- nearly 6 in 10 Americans say that businesses that provide wedding-related services should be required to provide those services to same-sex couples in the same way they would all other customers , even if they have religious objections . A new CNN/ORC poll finds 57 % feel businesses such as caterers or florists should be required to serve gay or lesbian couples just as they would heterosexual couples , while 41 % say they should be allowed to refuse service for religious reasons . That 's a shift from a Pew Research Center poll conducted last fall , which found just 49 % thought businesses ought to be required to serve same-sex couples while 47 % that they should be allowed to refuse service on religious grounds . Since the Pew poll last fall , Indiana 's Religious Freedom Restoration Act , signed into law in late March by Republican governor Mike Pence , sparked a nationwide controversy over whether the law allowed wedding-related businesses to refuse service to gay and lesbian couples . Apple , Walmart and the NCAA all spoke out against the law , while some states and cities with Democratic leaders barred spending public money in Indiana . Pence and other Indiana legislators insisted discrimination was not the law 's intent and a bill to change the original law was signed in early April . In the CNN/ORC poll , most Democrats -LRB- 70 % -RRB- and independents -LRB- 60 % -RRB- say wedding-related businesses should be required to provide services to same-sex couples as they would different-sex couples , while Republicans break broadly the other way , 67 % say religious reasons are a valid justification for refusing service . Full poll results . Looking at Republicans and independents who lean toward the Republican party , 60 % in that group say wedding-related businesses should be allowed to refuse services to same-sex couples , but there are sharp divides within that group by age and ideology . Moderate and Liberal Republicans and republican-leaners broadly say wedding-related businesses should be required to serve all couples the same way -LRB- 58 % -RRB- while three-quarters of conservative Republicans favor allowing a caterer or florist to refuse service for religious reasons -LRB- 74 % -RRB- . Among Republicans and republican-leaning independents under age 50 , 56 % say wedding-related businesses should be required to serve same-sex and different-sex couples the same way while among those age 50 or older , 72 % think they should not be required to do so .

Kathmandu , Nepal -LRB- CNN -RRB- on day six of Nepal 's tragedy , life triumphed as rescuers pulled an 15-year-old from the rubble of a multistory residential building in one of Kathmandu 's hard-hit neighborhoods . A large crowd erupted in cheers as Pemba Tamang was carried out on a stretcher . He was wearing a New York shirt and a blue neck brace , was blanketed by dust and had the look of a deer in the headlights . His rescuer , Inspector Lakshman Basnet of the Nepalese Armed Police Force , said Tamang was responsive and showed no apparent signs of serious injury . He was given an IV drip and rushed from the Gongapur area to a temporary emergency hospital run by an Israeli aid team . The Nepalese rescuers had been working for five hours to locate Tamang after they heard his voice coming from under the debris . Also Thursday , a U.S. special operations forces team rescued 30 people , including three Americans , by helicopter from an area of Nepal called bamboo village , according to the U.S. Ambassador to Nepal . The group was trapped in the village and living in a makeshift shelter , ambassador Peter Bodde said . The families had contacted the U.S. government to let officials know where their relatives were stuck , he said . They had no other way to get out of the area , bodde said . An American disaster response team was also involved in the rescue of the 15 year old boy . The team was at a nearby damaged bus station when it got word that someone might be alive . Andrew Olvera , the head of the U.S. team , said his men rushed over with search dogs and equipment ranging from breaching tools to sophisticated cameras that can probe under the rubble . He said the operation carried enormous risk , as chunks of the collapsed building hung precariously on rebar . Entire floors of what used to be people 's homes were visible -- ceiling fans and beds still draped with cotton sheets . It was a mountain of loss and sorrow . `` It 's dangerous , but it 's what we do , '' said Olvera , who has a daughter and twin 11-year-old boys . `` It 's risk versus gain . To save a human life , we will risk almost everything . `` The way the building is , it 's definitely a miracle , '' he said . Tamang cried for water in a muffled voice . He had been buried for five days under a building that pancaked . He dodged death because of a motorcycle that shielded him from the pressure of the concrete and steel , according to Basnet . And , Basnet said , he `` survived by good faith . '' Dennis Bautista , who went down to where Tamang was buried to administer medical aid , called the rescue amazing . `` It feels good to be able to help out . I ca n't imagine what he went through , '' Bautista said . `` He is a brave young man . '' Basnet said once he got closer to Tamang , he tried to reassure him that he would be OK . `` I gave him water and talked to him regularly , '' Basnet said . After Tamang was rushed to the hospital , the US Agency for International Development Team continued the search . The possibility remained that someone else might have survived , like Tamang . Other search and rescue teams continued to scour through Kathmandu 's rubble Thursday . They are looking for survivors from the MAGNITUDE-7 .8 earthquake that struck Saturday , killing at least 6,134 people and wounding almost 14,000 , according to Nepali authorities . Another 72 people were reported dead in India and 25 in China . In Nepal , 19 of the deaths occurred on Mount Everest , where the quake triggered deadly avalanches . Despite the disaster , Nepali authorities plans to reopen routes up the mountain as soon as next week . Teams are clearing paths and and rebuilding ladders , Tourism Ministry spokesman Krishna Sapkota told CNN on Thursday . Officials are encouraging people who have already received permission to climb this season to go ahead with their plans . As the chances dimmed for finding people alive in the wreckage left by the quake across Nepal , Tamang 's rescue boosted hopes for all those who still have loved ones and friends missing . Other people have been saved from under collapsed buildings in previous days , including a 27-year-old man on Tuesday and a 4-month-old boy on Sunday . The Nepali military also released a photo of a dust-caked 11-year-old girl who they said was rescued Wednesday after 90 hours under the rubble . The rescuers , meanwhile , have no intention of giving up looking for more . The 2010 earthquake in Haiti , Olvera said , revised the benchmark for what was thought possible for survival . A man there was miraculously pulled from the rubble after 27 long days . 360-degree view of earthquake zone . CNN 's sugam Pokharel contributed to this report .

Death toll rises to more than 0,000. Pemba Tamang, 00, shows no apparent signs of serious injury after rescue. Americans special forces helicopter 00, including 0 Americans, to safety.

He said the operation carried enormous risk , as chunks of the collapsed building hung precariously on rebar . Entire floors of what used to be people 's homes were visible -- ceiling fans and beds still draped with cotton sheets . It was a mountain of loss and sorrow . `` It 's dangerous , but it 's what we do , '' said Olvera , who has a daughter and twin 11-year-old boys . `` It 's risk versus gain . To save a human life , we will risk almost everything . `` The way the building is , it 's definitely a miracle , '' he said . Tamang cried for water in a muffled voice . He had been buried for five days under a building that pancaked . He dodged death because of a motorcycle that shielded him from the pressure of the concrete and steel , according to Basnet . And , Basnet said , he `` survived by good faith . '' Dennis Bautista , who went down to where Tamang was buried to administer medical aid , called the rescue amazing . `` It feels good to be able to help out . I ca n't imagine what he went through , '' Bautista said . `` He is a brave young man . '' Basnet said once he got closer to Tamang , he tried to reassure him that he would be OK . `` I gave him water and talked to him regularly , '' Basnet said . After Tamang was rushed to the hospital , the US Agency for International Development Team continued the search . The possibility remained that someone else might have survived , like Tamang . Other search and rescue teams continued to scour through Kathmandu 's rubble Thursday . They are looking for survivors from the MAGNITUDE-7 .8 earthquake that struck Saturday , killing at least 6,134 people and wounding almost 14,000 , according to Nepali authorities . Another 72 people were reported dead in India and 25 in China . In Nepal , 19 of the deaths occurred on Mount Everest , where the quake triggered deadly avalanches . Despite the disaster , Nepali authorities plans to reopen routes up the mountain as soon as next week . Teams are clearing paths and and rebuilding ladders , Tourism Ministry spokesman Krishna Sapkota told CNN on Thursday . Officials are encouraging people who have already received permission to climb this season to go ahead with their plans . As the chances dimmed for finding people alive in the wreckage left by the quake across Nepal , Tamang 's rescue boosted hopes for all those who still have loved ones and friends missing . Other people have been saved from under collapsed buildings in previous days , including a 27-year-old man on Tuesday and a 4-month-old boy on Sunday . The Nepali military also released a photo of a dust-caked 11-year-old girl who they said was rescued Wednesday after 90 hours under the rubble . The rescuers , meanwhile , have no intention of giving up looking for more . The 2010 earthquake in Haiti , Olvera said , revised the benchmark for what was thought possible for survival .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- eternally blooming in Kolkata , India , along the Hooghly River is Malik Ghat , a wholesale flower market that attracts more than 2,000 sellers each day . Photographer Ken Hermann visited the market for his project `` flower man , '' which is a series of portraits that casts light upon the people behind the petals . When Hermann was in Kolkata working on another assignment , he went to the market as a tourist . After that first encounter with Malik Ghat , his captivation with the market did not diminish and he became intent on returning . `` -LRB- the flower sellers -RRB- woke my curiosity . But at that time , I did n't really have the time to do the project , '' Hermann said . `` And this idea just kind of stuck in my head for almost two years . '' Hermann was able to spend about 10 days at the market , and did not allow any challenges to hinder the completion of `` flower man . '' He said that in addition to language barriers and the heat of Kolkata making communication complicated and shooting at certain times difficult , another adversity he faced was taking portraits of the female flower sellers . `` I had a really clear idea before I went -LRB- to the market -RRB- about what I wanted to do , '' Hermann said . `` I wanted to shoot the sellers -- the male and the female sellers . '' But none of the female flower sellers wished to be a part of Hermann 's project , so he focused only on those who were interested in and comfortable with having their portrait taken . For the portraits , Hermann sought a neutral background . He first tried shooting under a bridge near the market , but quickly realized the lighting did not match the mood he wanted to create . He then decided to create the portraits by the Hooghly River . This allowed him to combine the hazy smog in the air , sunlight from above and studio lights of his own , which culminated to produce a surreal effect and overexposed look that made his subjects stand out . `` All the pictures are shot within noon and 3 p.m. when you have the sun straight from above , which gives -LRB- the portraits -RRB- this very hard light , '' Hermann said . `` And then I just used some studio light as a fill to make it a little bit more soft . '' Although the composition of the majority of Hermann 's portraits encompasses the flower sellers in front of a neutral background , other portraits forgo this characteristic and consequently bring a sense of movement and fluidity to `` flower man . '' Viewers may see people or a dog appearing in a frame , or even birds flying in the sky and a boat floating in the water . One of the reasons Hermann did not create the flower sellers ' portraits directly inside the market is because of the hectic atmosphere . Hermann Compares Malik Ghat to the environments of financial trading and fish markets . `` It 's impossible to shoot at the market , especially if you want a clean and quiet background , because there 's so much going on , '' Hermann said . Social Media . Follow @ CNNPHOTOS on twitter to join the conversation about photography . Similar to the commitment needed to effectively and successfully operate within the financial and food industries , Hermann emphasized that the competitive atmosphere of the market and work ethic of the flower sellers was a major factor in whether a seller would agree to have their portrait made . `` All the other sellers -- they are so busy , so just convincing them to go near the river to get their portrait done and spend maybe 15 minutes of their time was a challenge , '' Hermann said . `` because every minute they 're not standing in the flower -LRB- market -RRB- , they lose money . '' Hermann said that another important reason some flower sellers decided not to be photographed was because flowers are highly valued in India and serve as a prominent feature during many events and moments in people 's lives , including everything from religious rituals and festivals to weddings and parties . `` Some of the flowers , -LRB- the sellers -RRB- did n't allow us to take pictures of because they 're flowers used for offering in the temple , '' Hermann said . `` It was more a problem about the flowers than actually the guy behind , because they did n't want us to take the pictures because -LRB- the flowers would -RRB- lose their purity . '' Challenging perceptions and breaking down barriers are underlying elements within `` flower man . '' Hermann said viewers must not make assumptions about the socioeconomic status of the sellers , nor should they view the sellers through a fixed , rigid lens regarding the behaviors and roles associated with gender . Noticeable throughout the portraits is that none of the sellers is smiling , which is usually a behavior people tend to exhibit when in the presence of a camera . The lack of a smile enhances the organic nature of `` flower man , '' making the portraits a powerful representation of unforced and unfabricated human emotion . `` If you want to take pictures in India , people tend to just stand up and look proud and strong , '' Hermann said . `` It 's very different from the Western world because if you take pictures here , people tend to smile . '' Like people , flowers come in all shapes , sizes and colors . When viewing Hermann 's photos , this fact leaves viewers to consider if it is not the flowers that are decorations , but rather the sellers who bring vibrancy to the flowers . In the portrait of Sanju Joshi , for example , he is engulfed in endless layers of orange . `` They use these flowers in temples and all over India , so that 's one of the more common flowers at the market , '' Hermann said . `` I really like that picture because they carry the flowers like it is a dress . You should see when they walk through the flower market , it 's almost like -LRB- the flowers are -RRB- all alive . '' Similarly , the abundant leaves come to life in Odhir Gayen 's portrait . `` these are a special kind of leaves , and many of -LRB- the sellers -RRB- carry them on their head and -LRB- on their -RRB- arms , '' Hermann said . `` and when they walk around , it 's almost like a human bush or something like that . '' Hermann plans to return to Malik Ghat and looks forward not only to the opportunity to photograph different kinds of flowers -- as the range varies based on the seasons -- but also to the chance to present the flower sellers featured in `` flower man '' with their portraits . `` I enjoyed this project , '' Hermann said . `` There 's a lot of photographers going to India and then showing a poor , bad situation . ... I have a totally different approach . I want to show some more proudness and find the beauty of people . '' Ken Hermann is a photographer based in Copenhagen .

-LRB- CNN -RRB- eternally blooming in Kolkata , India , along the Hooghly River is Malik Ghat , a wholesale flower market that attracts more than 2,000 sellers each day . Photographer Ken Hermann visited the market for his project `` flower man , '' which is a series of portraits that casts light upon the people behind the petals . When Hermann was in Kolkata working on another assignment , he went to the market as a tourist . After that first encounter with Malik Ghat , his captivation with the market did not diminish and he became intent on returning . `` -LRB- the flower sellers -RRB- woke my curiosity . But at that time , I did n't really have the time to do the project , '' Hermann said . `` And this idea just kind of stuck in my head for almost two years . '' Hermann was able to spend about 10 days at the market , and did not allow any challenges to hinder the completion of `` flower man . '' He said that in addition to language barriers and the heat of Kolkata making communication complicated and shooting at certain times difficult , another adversity he faced was taking portraits of the female flower sellers . `` I had a really clear idea before I went -LRB- to the market -RRB- about what I wanted to do , '' Hermann said . `` I wanted to shoot the sellers -- the male and the female sellers . '' But none of the female flower sellers wished to be a part of Hermann 's project , so he focused only on those who were interested in and comfortable with having their portrait taken . For the portraits , Hermann sought a neutral background . He first tried shooting under a bridge near the market , but quickly realized the lighting did not match the mood he wanted to create . He then decided to create the portraits by the Hooghly River . This allowed him to combine the hazy smog in the air , sunlight from above and studio lights of his own , which culminated to produce a surreal effect and overexposed look that made his subjects stand out . `` All the pictures are shot within noon and 3 p.m. when you have the sun straight from above , which gives -LRB- the portraits -RRB- this very hard light , '' Hermann said . `` And then I just used some studio light as a fill to make it a little bit more soft . '' Although the composition of the majority of Hermann 's portraits encompasses the flower sellers in front of a neutral background , other portraits forgo this characteristic and consequently bring a sense of movement and fluidity to `` flower man . '' Viewers may see people or a dog appearing in a frame , or even birds flying in the sky and a boat floating in the water . One of the reasons Hermann did not create the flower sellers ' portraits directly inside the market is because of the hectic atmosphere . Hermann Compares Malik Ghat to the environments of financial trading and fish markets . `` It 's impossible to shoot at the market , especially if you want a clean and quiet background , because there 's so much going on , '' Hermann said . Social Media . Follow @ CNNPHOTOS on twitter to join the conversation about photography . Similar to the commitment needed to effectively and successfully operate within the financial and food industries , Hermann emphasized that the competitive atmosphere of the market and work ethic of the flower sellers was a major factor in whether a seller would agree to have their portrait made . `` All the other sellers -- they are so busy , so just convincing them to go near the river to get their portrait done and spend maybe 15 minutes of their time was a challenge , '' Hermann said . `` because every minute they 're not standing in the flower -LRB- market -RRB- , they lose money . '' Hermann said that another important reason some flower sellers decided not to be photographed was because flowers are highly valued in India and serve as a prominent feature during many events and moments in people 's lives , including everything from religious rituals and festivals to weddings and parties . `` Some of the flowers , -LRB- the sellers -RRB- did n't allow us to take pictures of because they 're flowers used for offering in the temple , '' Hermann said . `` It was more a problem about the flowers than actually the guy behind , because they did n't want us to take the pictures because -LRB- the flowers would -RRB- lose their purity . '' Challenging perceptions and breaking down barriers are underlying elements within `` flower man . '' Hermann said viewers must not make assumptions about the socioeconomic status of the sellers , nor should they view the sellers through a fixed , rigid lens regarding the behaviors and roles associated with gender . Noticeable throughout the portraits is that none of the sellers is smiling , which is usually a behavior people tend to exhibit when in the presence of a camera . The lack of a smile enhances the organic nature of `` flower man , '' making the portraits a powerful representation of unforced and unfabricated human emotion . `` If you want to take pictures in India , people tend to just stand up and look proud and strong , '' Hermann said . `` It 's very different from the Western world because if you take pictures here , people tend to smile . '' Like people , flowers come in all shapes , sizes and colors . When viewing Hermann 's photos , this fact leaves viewers to consider if it is not the flowers that are decorations , but rather the sellers who bring vibrancy to the flowers . In the portrait of Sanju Joshi , for example , he is engulfed in endless layers of orange . `` They use these flowers in temples and all over India , so that 's one of the more common flowers at the market , '' Hermann said . `` I really like that picture because they carry the flowers like it is a dress . You should see when they walk through the flower market , it 's almost like -LRB- the flowers are -RRB- all alive . '' Similarly , the abundant leaves come to life in Odhir Gayen 's portrait . `` these are a special kind of leaves , and many of -LRB- the sellers -RRB- carry them on their head and -LRB- on their -RRB- arms , '' Hermann said . `` and when they walk around , it 's almost like a human bush or something like that . '' Hermann plans to return to Malik Ghat and looks forward not only to the opportunity to photograph different kinds of flowers -- as the range varies based on the seasons -- but also to the chance to present the flower sellers featured in `` flower man '' with their portraits . `` I enjoyed this project , '' Hermann said . `` There 's a lot of photographers going to India and then showing a poor , bad situation . ... I have a totally different approach . I want to show some more proudness and find the beauty of people . '' Ken Hermann is a photographer based in Copenhagen .

Tokyo -LRB- CNN -RRB- a crowd gathers near the entrance of Tokyo 's upscale Mitsukoshi department store , which traces its roots to a Kimono shop in the late 17th century . Fitting with the store 's history , the new greeter wears a traditional Japanese Kimono while delivering information to the growing crowd , whose expressions vary from amusement to bewilderment . It 's hard to imagine the store 's founders in the late 1600 's could have imagined this kind of employee . That 's because the greeter is not a human -- it 's a robot . Aiko Chihira is an android manufactured by Toshiba , designed to look and move like a real person . It was put on temporary display at the department store . Toshiba says Chihira has 43 motors allowing it to move , speak in sign language and even sing . The regular greeter , Ayako Seiryu , says she 's not worried about a robot replacing her -- even one made to resemble a real 32-year-old woman . `` communication is important , '' she says . `` My strength is I can actually talk to people . '' Chihira ca n't have a conversation yet , acknowledges Hitoshi Tokuda , Toshiba Spokesperson . But he says the technology is evolving quickly and someday , robots like Chihira could replace humans for certain jobs . A growing number of Japanese businesses are testing out robots as a possible solution to the country 's shrinking workforce . They 're appearing in stores , banks and soon even hotels . Bank of tokyo-mitsubishi UFJ is trying out `` NAO , '' a customer service robot that answers basic questions and is designed to speak 19 languages . The robotic polygot could prove useful serving foreign customers during the 2020 Tokyo Olympics . By then , the bank hopes to have even more robots on staff . `` Pepper '' is a humanoid robot that `` chats '' with customers . A humanoid has human-like characteristics such as arms , legs and a head -- but is designed to look like a robot . Pepper first began appearing in Tokyo stores last year . Manufacturer Softbank hopes it 'll eventually be a `` family robot , '' like a sleeker version of Rosie on `` the jetsons . '' Meet Pepper -- The world 's first emo robot . A hotel scheduled to open at Huis Ten Bosch Theme Park in Nagasaki this summer plans to have 10 robot staff members and aims to increase that to more than 90 % of hotel services operated by robots . Today 's novelty could be tomorrow 's necessity . Japan has an aging population that has prompted serious talks about how to incorporate robots into the nation 's shrinking workforce . One group that seems willing to embrace robots are Japan 's senior citizens . A survey by Nursing Home Operator orix living found more seniors would feel comfortable being cared for by a robot than a foreign nurse . In a nation with a dwindling population , waning workforce , and deep resistance to immigration , it seems robots will only play a larger role in Japan 's future .

Tokyo -LRB- CNN -RRB- a crowd gathers near the entrance of Tokyo 's upscale Mitsukoshi department store , which traces its roots to a Kimono shop in the late 17th century . Fitting with the store 's history , the new greeter wears a traditional Japanese Kimono while delivering information to the growing crowd , whose expressions vary from amusement to bewilderment . It 's hard to imagine the store 's founders in the late 1600 's could have imagined this kind of employee . That 's because the greeter is not a human -- it 's a robot . Aiko Chihira is an android manufactured by Toshiba , designed to look and move like a real person . It was put on temporary display at the department store . Toshiba says Chihira has 43 motors allowing it to move , speak in sign language and even sing . The regular greeter , Ayako Seiryu , says she 's not worried about a robot replacing her -- even one made to resemble a real 32-year-old woman . `` communication is important , '' she says . `` My strength is I can actually talk to people . '' Chihira ca n't have a conversation yet , acknowledges Hitoshi Tokuda , Toshiba Spokesperson . But he says the technology is evolving quickly and someday , robots like Chihira could replace humans for certain jobs . A growing number of Japanese businesses are testing out robots as a possible solution to the country 's shrinking workforce . They 're appearing in stores , banks and soon even hotels .
