Mohammed was sent with the Truth according to the Quran, and Jesus identified him "Spirit of TRUTH" And according to 1 John 4:1 spirit and Prophet are synonymous!
Jesus Christ is an advocate, and he will ask the Father to send Another advocate meaning someone like him (Man and a Prophet) because the Greek word used for "Another" is "Allos" which means another of the same kind, so it's someone who is a man and a prophet like Jesus
How is the advocate the holy spirit if the advocate cannot come until Jesus leaves and the holy spirit was always there? And the deciples even received the Holy spirit while Jesus was still there.

Do we have new broker for Somali politics? Now, it’s understood a meeting between Muse Bihi-Somaliland president and Faramajo- the president of Federal government in the south will take place in Addis Ababa tomorrow. See the thread? #Somalia
Ethiopia with leadership of late prime minister Males Zanwe, successfully managed to neutralize the menace from Somali anarchy by combination of military campaigns and patron client relationships. #Somalia
In the military and intelligence engagement, it managed to keep at bay all radical threats including foot invasion, suicide, and assassin squads to infiltrate to Ethiopia. Perhaps to get the sense of statement compare with other neighbor Kenya. #Somalia

This thread is abt unknown n gallant warrior Rani Abbakka Chowta born in1525, first Tuluva Queen of Chowta Dynasty in Ullal,Karnataka who fought Portuguese in 16th century n defeated them to be later betrayed by her own husband captured n killed while trying to escape in 1570.
Their capital was Puttig while Ullal served as subsidiary capital. In 1500, Portuguese colonial power was peaking. Destroyed Zamorins of Calicut. Defeated Sultan of Bijapur, snatched Daman from Sultan of Gujarat, Established colony in Mylapore, Captured Bombay n made Goa as HQs.
While they were at it, pretty much unchallenged, they even ruined the ancient Kapaleeswarar Temple to build a Church over it.
Their next target, the super profitable port of Mangalore.
Their only bad luck, just 14 kilometers south of Mangalore was the small settlement of Ullal

#b Excellence is overrated, competence is underrated.
Competence is knowing what to do in a situation and how to do it. It is not the same as excellence.
Excellence is dependent on other people, like judges, examiners, teachers, assessors, inspectors, auditors. But we can't control these people and whether they think we're excellent or not.

#b 'Teknik menjawab' is not a series of rituals that you carry out to secure an A in the exam. You don't get guaranteed an A just through superficial actions like highlighting keywords or drawing meniscus or inserting isi tersirat.
The problem is students and teachers treat teknik menjawab as some sort of pseudo magical ritualistic gestures that will bring a certain outcome. Draw a pentagram, slaughter a chicken, and your wish will be granted.
Some remote Pacific Islanders in 1940s came in contact with Allied and Japanese soldiers who were more technologically advanced and thought the soldiers were gods who had many "cargo" (canned food, electronics, modern stuff)

1/ #THREAD Ah, teeny tiny demographical instance of something, hastily wound up to a coy, careful kind of un-endorsement of something else, even uses paper in a medical / scientific journal to try substantiate this un-endorsement placement #Beware #BullAtWork How 'well-connected'
2/ and how reminiscent of a certain type of anti-vaccination trolling / disinformation.😬 #Questions such as: A/what percentage of the population actually use the product B/ what percentage of that specific demographic have been injured seriously, in a clinical sense or in the --
3/ particular mode described in the, eh, 'article' ? C/ So even if as seems likely this only verifiably happened to a tiny % of users,& even if the argument that it is all just public knowledge/public info. is applied so it appears to be, lets say for the heck of it, 'authentic',
