LAGOS, Nigeria — Africa’s largest city is closing dozens of mosques, churches and nightclubs in a bid to reduce noise for its 20 million residents long used to lusty hymn-singing, honking horns and boom boxes that rattle the foundations of homes.

Authorities act on complaints from neighbors, first gathering stakeholders to discuss noise limits. During the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ended this month... Читать дальше...

Trump introduced Pence as his No. 2 on Saturday, passing over candidates with whom he has a more personal connection in favor of an experienced politician with solid conservative credentials. GOP leaders — many lukewarm at best about the outsider at the top of their ticket — were nearly unanimous in praise.

While working as dean of SDSU's College of Family and Consumer Sciences, Nichols was project director for an initiative in which SDSU, tribal colleges and high schools collaborated to help American Indian students earn bachelor's degrees.

Because Wyoming doesn't have as many tribal colleges as South Dakota, Nichols said the program could use Central Wyoming College instead... Читать дальше...

Maybe just a bare stage, a handful of musical instruments and a cast of gifted and committed singers. Because what was just as exciting as the musical values on display at Friday's opening performance was the sense of entrepreneurial energy surrounding the project. Sets and costumes were minimal to the point of non-existence, though lighting designer Curtis Overacre worked hard to give the tiny stage some depth. Music director Edward Hong presided over an instrumental ensemble comprising one... Читать дальше...

DETROIT (AP) — Tesla Motors is working on modifications to its Autopilot system after it failed to stop for a tractor-trailer rig in a Florida crash that killed the driver of a Model S sedan. Experts contacted by The Associated Press say it's clear that Musk is focusing on the radar so his cars spot tractor-trailers in similar circumstances. Radar can see through bright sunlight, rain, snow and other things that can block the sight of cameras, so it makes sense that Tesla would try to emphasize radar more after the Florida crash...
