BEIJING — Google’s best-known products have been blocked by authorities in mainland China for years. If it wants that to change someday, then half a billion dollars’ worth of goodwill couldn’t hurt. Google will invest $550 million in the Chinese online retailer JD.com, the two companies said Monday. In return, JD.com will join the Google Shopping advertising service, and will work with the Mountain View company on other e-commerce projects in Europe, Southeast Asia and the United States.

VOLGOGRAD, Russia — Twice wrestled to the ground during the match, England captain Harry Kane finally evaded the Tunisian defense just as time was running out. Kane found an open area of space at the far post and used his head to meet Harry Maguire’s flick-on, scoring the winning goal Monday in a 2-1 victory at the World Cup.

NEW SALEM, Mass. (AP) — In 1938, four Massachusetts towns bustled with farmers and factory workers along the Swift River. However, in April of that year, Dana, Enfield, Greenwich and Prescott all would be disincorporated and drowned in the creation of the Quabbin Reservoir. Today, the area is just as lively — although not with the few thousand people that once lived there, but with wildlife.

Either way, it would be hard to ask for... Читать дальше...
