HTML(HyperText Markup Lanuage) is the standard markup language to create web page while Mobi is a file format created by Mobipocket but now also adopted by Amazon Kindle Readers. You may need to convert HTML to Mobi when you want to read files saved from wabpage on your kindle devices just like reading other ebooks instead of reading them in the browser. Or you have written your own ebooks with HTML format and want to share them with your family and friends who own the popular kindle devices.
Today is Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar, how we remember that Jesus died for our sins and then rose again to eternal life.
But today, of all days, Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA), the newly elected senator from Georgia and an ordained minister for many years, tweeted out something that shocked a lot of people.
The meaning of Easter is more transcendent than the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Whether you are Christian or not, through a commitment to helping others we are able to save ourselves.”
Now of course nothing is more transcendent on Easter or in Christianity than the resurrection. Christians believe it is only because Jesus died and rose to save us from our sins that we are in fact saved. Pretty much the whole point of Easter. //
Some tried to argue that Warnock was talking about doing good works. But the problem with the comment wasn’t about the importance of good works, but failure to seemingly understand the fundamental necessity of the dying and rising of Jesus for the salvation, that one does not “save” oneself.
“This is what the heresy of liberation theology does—reduces the significance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, to self-salvific moralism and thereby making ourselves God,” radio host Darrell B. Harrison, who works at John MacArthur’s Grace Community Church in Los Angeles, said. We can see that’s exactly where some of the defenders of Warnock were going in their arguments.
Apparently, at some point Warnock realized that the tweet was earning a backlash and deleted it
Google did not infringe Oracle’s copyright when it used that company’s programming code in the Android cellphone operating system, the Supreme Court ruled this morning overturning a lower court ruling that favored Oracle.
Oracle had been seeking an estimated $9 billion in damages in the decade-old litigation between the tech companies that could have changed the rules of the road for the software industry.
Justice Stephen Breyer wrote the 6-2 decision for the high court in Google LLC v. Oracle America Inc., court file 18-956. The case came to the court on appeal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
Justice Clarence Thomas filed a dissenting opinion that Justice Samuel Alito joined. Justice Amy Coney Barrett did not participate in the case. She was not yet a member of the court when the case was heard telephonically Oct. 7, 2020.

Campaign finance reports obtained by 60 Minutes show that weeks before Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced a partnership with Publix grocery stores to distribute the vaccine in its pharmacies, Publix donated $100,000 to his PAC. https://cbsn.ws/3rYmnHj //

I don’t understand what the scandal is supposed to be. Publix wasn’t the only store distributing vaccines. No one is alleging that they pocketed the money or even that they did a bad job. The program was very successful.
It’s 100% trying to manufacture a scandal by implication. //

It should also be pointed out that @60minutes got caught deceptively editing the exchange between DeSantis and their reporter.
They cut out a big part of his answer where he explained the process and made the reporter look like an idiot. //

@60Minutes I said this before and I’ll say it again. @Publix was recommended by @FLSERT and @HealthyFla as the other pharmacies were not ready to start. Period! Full Stop! No one from the Governors office suggested Publix. It’s just absolute malarkey. https://twitter.com/jaredemoskowit //

This is Jared Moskowitz, director of the Florida Division of Emergency Management. He’s a Democrat, served as one in the state legislature until 2019, and campaigned for Gore and Obama. He’s not falling for this absolute garbage, and neither should you.
