New York (CNN) — Crayola, a name synonymous with vibrantly colored crayons for more than a century, is going into the flower business.The crayon maker, a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards, on Tuesday announced the launch of Crayola Flowers, an online flower shop selling bright bouquets and boxed flowers.But there’s a dual purpose to the new venture, the company said: It will also double as a fundraising platform, with 10%-50% of every direct sale donated to a participating charity or entity chosen by the customer. Nonprofit organizations can use the floral storefront, too, as part of their own fundraising campaigns.Crayola partnered with Mrs. Bloom’s, an importer and distributor of fresh-cut flowers — daisies, mums, hydrangeas and many different colors of roses — to jointly develop the online flower shop, the company said. Bouquets are priced from $49 to $150 and are shipped directly from farms to consumers nationwide.A colorful corporate historySince the birth of the Crayola brand in 19...Americans detained for years in Iran arrive in US after release and tearfully embrace loved ones

WASHINGTON (AP) — Americans detained for years in Iran arrived home Tuesday after being freed as part of a politically risky deal that saw President Joe Biden agree to the release of nearly $6 billion in frozen Iranian assets.The prisoners landed at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, with clapping and cheers heard in the predawn hours. Siamak Namazi, the first off the jet, paused for a moment, closed his eyes and took a deep breath before leaving the plane. Loved ones, some holding small American flags, enveloped them in hugs as they tearfully embraced and exchanged greetings in English and Farsi, the main language of Iran.The successful negotiations for the Americans’ freedom brought Biden profuse thanks from their families but heat from Republican presidential rivals and other opponents for the monetary arrangement with one of America’s top adversaries.“Today, five innocent Americans who were imprisoned in Iran are finally coming home,” the Democratic president said in a statemen...Erdoğan: I trust Russia and the West equally

Russia and the West? No difference in my eyes, Turkey’s President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Monday. “To the extent the West is reliable, Russia is equally reliable. For the last 50 years, we have been waiting at the doorstep of the EU, and, at this moment in time, I trust Russia just as much as I trust the West,” Erdoğan — whose country is a member of the NATO transatlantic military alliance — said in an interview.Erdoğan’s comments on the American Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) followed a question about Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Black Sea grain deal, which Putin exited in July amid his long-running lethal onslaught against Ukraine. “Russia happens to be one of my closest neighbors. And we have a common history,” the Turkish president added.Good political relations — with the EU, the U.S. or Russia — are based on “win-win” calculations for Ankara and therefore, Erdoğan added, he will continue to foster them all.Last week, E...Azerbaijan launches attack in Nagorno-Karabakh, announces ‘evacuation’ of Armenian population

Azerbaijan has announced a major new military offensive in the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, declaring it will “evacuate” some of the Armenian population there in a crisis that risks spiralling into all-out war.The escalation comes after months of fruitless negotiations and amid growing speculation that Turkey-backed Azerbaijan has been gearing up to use force to bring a decades-long frozen conflict to an end. A war between Armenia and Azerbaijan in 2020 killed thousands on each side. Over the past months, Azerbaijan has been tightening a supply blockade of food and medicines into the ethnic Armenian enclave that lies entirely within its territory. Baku’s defense ministry said on Tuesday it was launching “local anti-terrorist activities” to “suppress large-scale provocations” in the territory. Reports and film footage from Nagorno-Karabakh showed heavy shelling and gunfire in the enclave. Air raid sirens wailed in Stepanakert, the de facto capital of the unrecognized st...Column: Which way will the ball bounce down the stretch for the Chicago Cubs?

I woke up Sunday morning to a text from a Chicago Cubs fan who had a sleepless night after watching their 13-inning loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks.“I guess the good lord doesn’t want the Cubs to win,” the text read.He was referring to Harry Caray’s call of a 3-2 win over the Montreal Expos on Aug. 2, 1984, before any of the current Cubs players were born. Expos star Pete Rose hit a liner off closer Lee Smith that deflected into the air and was caught on the fly by shortstop Dave Owen, who threw to first for a game-ending double play.“Cubs win, Cubs win, what a lucky break,” Caray yelled. “The good lord wants the Cubs to win.”Flash forward 39 years later to Saturday night, when the Cubs were one out from beating the Diamondbacks in 13 innings before Emmanuel Rivera hit a line drive that deflected off reliever Hayden Wesneski’s right elbow and into the air toward shortstop Dansby Swanson.Instead of running in and attempting a gam...Patriots-Dolphins film review: What Bill Belichick can and can’t fix after an 0-2 start

Bill Belichick’s decision to bench his most dynamic offensive playmaker for the last three quarters Sunday will eventually fade into the white noise of this Patriots season.What it represented in the moment, however, encapsulates the conundrum the Patriots now face at 0-2.The Patriots offense unequivocally needs Demario Douglas, a sixth-round rookie from Liberty University, to function at its highest level. But being a rookie, Douglas is prone to rookie mistakes, like his fumble in the first quarter against Miami.To Belichick, that fumble meant something more: an inexcusable repeat of the mistakes that cost the Patriots their season opener, a game they would have won were it not for two first-quarter turnovers.Belichick pulled Douglas because he saw the rookie as a problem he could fix, something he could control. And right or wrong, Belichick believed eliminating the added risk of another turnover was in the Patriots’ best interest; a way to raise the floor on their win...Americans released by Iran arrive home, tearfully embrace their loved ones and declare: ‘Freedom!’
