# Orthodoxy

Orthodoxy (from Greek ὀρθοδοξία "right opinion") is adherence to correct or accepted creeds.

## Quotes

* There never was anything so perilous or so exciting as orthodoxy. It was sanity: and to be sane is more dramatic than to be mad.
** G. K. Chesterton, Orthodoxy (1908), ch. 6
* What cannot be emphasized enough is that there is nothing to be said for presenting 'the Islamic view' ... as though there exists one view which is shared by all Muslims. All religions contain a variety of interpretations of that religion, and trying to work out what the right view is should not detain us. Working out the orthodox position in each religion is in itself a minefield, and even if we skirt that minefield without coming to harm, it is not at all clear that an unorthodox belief is not nonetheless a belief which can be classified as falling under the religion.
** Oliver Leaman, Referring to God, edited by Paul Helm (New York: St Martin's Press: 2000), pp. 5-6
* Dorian Gray ... never fell into the error of arresting his intellectual development by any formal acceptance of creed or system, or of mistaking, for a house in which to live, an inn that is but suitable for the sojourn of a night,
** Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray, ch. 11, p. 106
* I know it is the notion of the bigot, that all the truly godly people belong to the denomination which he adorns. Orthodoxy is my doxy; heterodoxy is anybody else’s doxy who does not agree with me. All the good people go to little Bethel, and nowhere else: they all worship at Zoar, and they sing out of such-and-such a selection, and as for those who cannot say Shibholeth, and lay a pretty good stress on the “h,” but who pronounce it “Sibboleth;“let the fords of the Jordan be taken, and let them be put to death. True, it is not fashionable to roast them alive, but we will condemn their souls to everlasting perdition, which is the next best thing, and may not appear to be quite so uncharitable.
** Charles Spurgeon "Lessons from Nature Sermon 1005 (August 13, 1871)
* Orthodoxy is my doxy; heterodoxy is another man's doxy.
** William Warburton, quoted in Joseph Priestley's Memoirs, vol. 1 (1807)

## Quotes

* We have to prove ourselves, women, we can do it maybe even better.
** "2020 WOMEN'S DAY: Three Female Pilots on KQ Flight to New York Share Their Experiences" (March 7, 2020)
* I get to experience the extremely busy airspaces and adverse weather, which is a challenge I like to take on. The airspace in Africa is not as busy and we don’t have extreme weather like hurricanes, snowstorms, etc
* There was also uncertainty of how my male counterparts would accept me with all the stigma surrounding the male-dominated career, as I would have been a first.

* I think the one thing that stood out for me when it comes to hurdles is having been the first woman and the only woman in the airline
** https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z40WXMUE5M4. Executive interview with Capt Irene Koki Mutungi, Africa Airlines Association (AFRAA), 26 October 2021,Retrieved 04 November 2024.
** “ I did not notice that I was the lone ranger as I had become one of the boys, and I guess it was also focused on work and just getting work done. It ceases to be about your gender and more about your expertise and technical abilities”.
** "I love flying to the U.S., Europe and the Far East. I get to experience the extremely busy airspaces and adverse weather, which is a challenge I like to take on."
** "I consider myself a role model for young women and men as well. As a mother of boys, I’m all for empowering women, but let’s not forget the next generation of boys."
** " think more subsidies and scholarships should be made available to women when it comes to training. Airlines should offer positions to qualified female pilots more readily as part of their inclusivity programs."

## Quotes

* Wilderness to the people of America is a spiritual necessity, an antidote to the high pressure of modern life, a means of regaining serenity and equilibrium.
** "We Need Wilderness," National Parks Magazine, January–March 1946
* ... Here were young aspen and birch with an occasional balsam and a ground cover of striped maple, honeysuckle, and bracken fern. I listened to the violin notes of a hermit thrush, the flutelike call of a white-throated sparrow, the teacher-teacher of an ovenbird. Following one of the logging roads almost hidden with grass and cover, I flushed a partridge with a flock of well-grown chicks. A deer had walked across the trail, and I found the pellet of a great horned owl. Here was food, abundant food — berries, buds, worms, insects and mice — and this was a place for living things.
** The Hidden Forest. Voyageur Press. 1990. p. 75. (1st edition 1969)
* A new adventure is coming up and I'm sure it will be a good one.

# Kitchen

A kitchen is a room, place, or equipment for food preparation.

## Quotes

* With its union of practicality and magic, a kitchen is a portal offering extended range and providing unlikely paths out of the ordinary. Offering opportunities to cook, imagine and create ways back into other times, other lives and other territories. Central Asia, Turkey, Ukraine, the South Caucasus, Russia, the Baltics and Poland. Places that have eased into my marrow over the years shaping my life, writing and thinking. They are here, these lands I return to, in this kitchen.
** Caroline Eden, Description of Cold Kitchen: A Year of Culinary Travels. Bloomsbury Publishing (bloomsbury.com).
* The state of your kitchen before you start will make a big difference in how you cook. Starting with a clean work surface, a sink clear of washing up, and an empty dishwasher will help everything run more smoothly. A tidy kitchen leads to much better efficiency and, therefore, better food.
** Gordon Ramsey, "My Advice for Faster, Better Cooking". Quick and Delicious: Recipes to Cook in 30 Minutes or Less. Grand Central Publishing. 2020. 1st 2 sentences; 3rd sentence (1st edition, 2019)
* For the prosperous, the kitchen traditionally dominated the English home during the Middle Ages. Food cooked at an open hearth with a plaster-coated wood surround. Passageways often linked the cooking area to the buttery, pantry, and great hall, as was the case with the Bishop's Palace at Wells, Somerset. By the 1300s, stone kitchens had replaced the fire-prone wood structures. At manor houses such as Great Chalfield, Wiltshire, the layout accommodated a division of labors: kitchen, pantry, and buttery at the screen end of the great hall and cellar beneath the dais, the elevated seating place of dignitaries and royalty. Thus, presentation of dishes began at the entranceway and concluded with kneeling servant bearing uplifted trays to high-level attendants, who spread the meal before the host and hostess and their honored guests.
** Mary Ellen Snodgrass, Encyclopedia of Kitchen History. p. 310.

# Mary Warnock, Baroness Warnock

Helen Mary Warnock, Baroness Warnock, CH, DBE, FBA, FMedSci (née Wilson; 14 April 1924 – 20 March 2019) was British philosopher of morality, education and mind, and writer on existentialism.

## Quotes

* I knew of myself, from the age of about fifteen, that I was a natural Tory. All my instincts and all my loves were Trollopian. I loved the thought of a landed aristocracy, though I would never be a member of one (I did not, even in my fantasies, believe that I should marry a duke). I loved hunting; I loved time-honoured hierarchies; I loved cathedrals. I wanted to become an old-fashioned scholar. Above all, perhaps, I loved the idea of accumulating, inheriting and passing on wealth to my family. Nothing could be further from the politics of the Left. Yet increasingly during the war I felt that to indulge my instincts was wrong. I must pull myself together, recognise the unfairness of my privileged and comfortable way of life, begin properly to aim for a classless society, think about politics, become someone who would go to what I vaguely thought of as Meetings. By 1945, I had talked myself pretty thoroughly round to the Left.

# Gematria

In numerology, gematria (Hebrew: גמטריא or גימטריה) is the practice of assigning a numerical value to a name, word or phrase by reading it as a number. The letters have standard numerical values, but a word may yield several values if a cipher is used.

## Quotes

* When HaShem commanded him [Moshe] to go down to Egypt and liberate the Jewish people from bondage, he asked HaShem, "When I come to the children of Israel and I say to them, 'The God of your forefathers sent me to you,' they will ask me, 'What is His name,' What [לי מה־שמו מה‎] should I say to them?" … The final letters are the name HaShem-יהו״ה‎, while the beginning letters equal "The Secret of the Name" (Sod Shem–סו״ד ש״ם‎) [30-ל‎ + 40-מ‎ + 300-ש‎ + 40-מ‎ = 60-ס‎ + 6-ו‎ + 4-ד‎ + 300-ש‎ + 30-ם‎ = 410]. Therefore, the beginning and final letters make up the phrase "The Secret of the Name HaShem–סו״ד ש״ם יהו״ה‎."
** Rabbi Yosef Gikatilla: Ginat Egoz. As translated in HaShem Is One: A Translation and Adaptation into English of the Wondrous Book Ginat Egoz, vol. 1, "The Name Ehe"yeh-אהי״ה‎ which is drawn from the reality of the Name HaShem-יהו״ה‎", pp. 158–160.

* Abulafia himself wrote an autobiographical account of this conversion attempt [of Pope Nicholas III] in his Sefer HaEdot (Book of Testimonies). In this account, he calls himself Raziel, an anonym that he frequently used, this being the name of the angel who taught the mysteries to Adam. Raziel (רָזִיאֵל‎) has a numerical value of 248, this being the same as that of Abulafia's first name, Abraham (אַבְרָהָם‎). As Abulafia himself indicates, this relationship is more than a simple gematria, but it is a mishkal (balance), since both the numerical value and the number of letters in both names are equal.
** Aryeh Kaplan: Meditation and Kabbalah, ch. 3, "Rabbi Abraham Abulafia", pp. 64–65. Weiser Books (1982). ISBN 0-87728-616-7.
* Lenny Meyer: The ancient Jews used Hebrew as their numerical system. May I? Each letter's a number. Like, the Hebrew A, Aleph [א‎], is 1. B, Bet [ב‎], is 2. You understand? But look at this. The numbers are interrelated. Like, take the Hebrew word for "father", av [אב‎]. Aleph, Bet. 1, 2. Equals 3. All right? Hebrew word for "mother", em [אם‎]. Aleph, Mem [מ‎]. 1, 40. Equals 41. The sum of 3 and 41? 44. All right? Now, Hebrew word for "child", all right? Mother, father, child. Yeled [ילד‎]. That's 10, 30 and 4. It's 44. Torah is just a long string of numbers. Some say that it's a code, sent to us from God. Max Cohen: That's kind of interesting.
** Pi (1998)

# Sulu

Sulu ([sʊˈlu]), officially the Province of Sulu (Tausūg: Wilāya sin Lupa' Sūg; Tagalog: Lalawigan ng Sulu), is a province of the Philippines in the Sulu Archipelago.
It was part of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), until the Supreme Court of the Philippines on September 9, 2024 declared its inclusion to be unconstitutional because of the province's simple majority vote against it during the 2019 Bangsamoro autonomy plebiscite.
Its capital is Jolo on the island of the same name. Maimbung, the royal capital of the Sultanate of Sulu, is also located in the province. Sulu is along the southern border of the Sulu Sea and the northern boundary of the Celebes Sea.

## Quotes

# Emigration

Emigration is the act of leaving one's country or region to settle in another. It is the same as immigration but from the perspective of the new country. Human movement before the establishment of political boundaries or within one state is termed migration. There are many reasons why people might choose to emigrate. Some are for reasons of religious, political or economic freedom or escape. Others have personal reasons such as marriage. Some people living in rich nations with cold climates choose to move to warmer climates when they retire.

## Quotes

* Death! People seem to have completely forgotten it in the midst of their preoccupations with the affairs of life, feverishly running after their livelihood, or blindly embracing atheism, materialism, agnosticism, and many other frivolous absurdities. They have closed every window that might let in some light from another world or simply remind them that there is another world. In the year of the corona, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ reminds us, his followers, that death is not an ordinary matter, nor a natural conclusion for human life followed by nothing. Death is not a futility unworthy of attention and concern, but the archenemy of humankind. Fortunately, Our Lord’s Resurrection comes at the right moment to remind us that by his Resurrection, Christ has totally and completely crushed the power of death.
