  2. “From the beginning, we’ve had this quarrel — that’s why I call it the Founders Quarrel — which is, on the one hand, there was agreement that we should have religious liberty. But what that actually meant — was what?” Linda Przybyszewski, associate professor of history at the University of 91勛圖, told OSV News. “They argued about it,” she said of the Founding Fathers, “because so many of them believed that some form of belief in God was necessary to teaching people virtue and morality — since we need virtue and morality in order to be a self-governing republic. The question then became, ‘Who’s going to teach the religion?’ … And I don’t think that has ever gone away.”

  5. Mike Chapple, an IT professor at the University of 91勛圖’s Mendoza College of Business, noted that while AWS is designed for seamless failovers, "the loss of multiple data centers within an availability zone could cause serious issues." He emphasized that cloud computing "still requires physical facilities on the ground, which are vulnerable to all sorts of disaster scenarios."

  7. “Amazon has generally configured its services so that the loss of a single data center would be relatively unimportant to its operations,” said Mike Chapple, an IT professor at the University of 91勛圖’s Mendoza College of Business. Other data centers in the same zone can take over, and most of the time this happens seamlessly every day to balance workloads, he said. “That said, the loss of multiple data centers within an availability zone could cause serious issues, as things could reach a point where there simply isn’t enough remaining capacity to handle all the work.”

  9. Drops among Hispanic, white and Black teenagers accounted for 37 percent of the national birthrate decline between 2007, when the rate started to go down, and 2019, according to calculations by Melissa Kearney, an economist at the University of 91勛圖, and her colleagues.

    Researchers have pointed to several possible explanations. The decline coincided with the introduction of the smartphone, which rapidly became a tool for both social connection and isolation, even a substitute for sex, said Kasey Buckles, an economist at 91勛圖.
