    His early life
    Greenwood's map of Lancashire 1818, showing Higher White Lee
    (Click to enlarge) Sir Jonas Moore was born at 'Whittle' or [Higher] Whitelee, situated in Higham Booth on 8 February 1617. He became a leading practical mathematician, surveyor, cartographer, Ordnance Officer, courtier and patron of astronomy. He rose from humble origins to be awarded a knighthood, gained membership of the Royal Society and won favour at the court of Charles II. Moore left Lancashire and, by the time he was 21, was employed as clerk to Thomas Burwell, the spiritual chancellor and vicar-general of the diocese of Durham. A new avenue of opportunity opened before him during the civil war when he was encouraged to take up mathematical study.

He was a practical mathematician, teacher, author, surveyor, cartographer, Ordnance Officer, courtier and patron of astronomy - had a remarkable career, and was one of the first to make a substantial fortune from mathematical practice. He recieved a knighthood, membership of the Royal Society, and favour at the court of Charles II; he made a contribution to the draining of the Great Level (under Cornelius Vermuyden) and the building of the Mole at Tangier, and, as Surveyor-General of the Ordnance, he became a patron of the new Royal Observatory at Greenwich. Jonas Moore and Christopher Towneley rescued the papers of astronomers William Gascoigne, Jeremiah Horrox and William Crabtree after Crabtree's death. Jonas Moore left Pendle some time after 1647. He took his share of the astronomical papers with him and they were published in London. In the 1650s Jonas Moore helped to drain the fens of Norfolk. The result of his work in the Fens was the great Bedford Level of which he wrote an account, printed in 1685 after his death.

    Full-content Atom feed for Michael Moore's website
    A while ago I wrote a scrapper fro Michael Moore's blog, which Jeremy Zawodny generously hosted on his server. But Michael seldom updates his blog - actually, it still has only two posts since it was launched. I decided to verify it and as it turns out, the blog isn't even linked on the main page anymore. The real blogging hapenning there is on the " Mike's Message " section. So I updated my Python script to scrap that page instead. I contacted Jeremy last week and he hasn't replied yet so I'm providing the feed myself, thanks to FeedBurner (which polls my site only once in a while and caches the content - that's free bandwidth for RSS feeds, folks!).

    While taking a walk outdoors with his grandmother before bedtime, Jonas hears many animals give different answers to his question.
    Under a magical full moon, Jonas and his Nana set off to walk through the quiet woods before bed. When Jonas asks his Nana, "What is the full moon full of?" he gets some very surprising answers! Everyone from bear, to cow, to robin, to firefly has an idea.
    Before he is tucked into bed, Jonas and Nana will come up with their own ideas. And before you go to sleep, you can too!
    The Horn Book, Inc. Jonas's question receives a chorus of answers, first from a squirrel (nuts), then a cow (milk and cream), a robin (worms), and so on. A celestial midnight palette casts a luminous glow as it paints the moon in many imaginative guises, but Jonas's airy conclusion ("I think [the moon] is full of whatever anyone wants it to be full of") leaves the question open for readers.

    By watching Lisa Simpson on television, Jonas Moore decided he thought it looked cool to play the saxophone.
    He started by playing the alto sax, but has now graduated to the baritone saxophone. "The bari sax is a lot bigger and a lot deeper in sound," said Jonas. "It weighs a lot, but I have a neck strap I wear when I have to march with the school band and carry the instrument. I have played the saxophone for three years total, but I only switched to the bari sax last year. My band teacher asked if I would switch so I did, and now I really like it." The baritone sax he plays is owned by his school, Castle Dome Middle School. He hopes to save up money to buy his own baritone saxophone some day.

    Abstract Configuration
    The Artist - Raymond Vincent Jonas
    Raymond Jonas was born in 1942 and grew up in California, where he had many opportunities to see good art-traveling exhibitions from Europe as well as the work of local artists. Jonas says he has learned much about art from looking at the work of other artists. His formal studies were completed at the Art Center in California and at Brigham Young University in Utah. He began work as a painter in the 1960s, heavily influenced by abstract expressionism, especially the paintings of Willem DeKooning and Franz Kline. This interest led to a serious study of the paintings, ceramics, and sculpture of the 20th Century master, Pablo Picasso. Although Ray's work, for the most part, does not resemble that of Picasso, that single artist, more than any other, has had the most profound influence on Jonas and on his art. While studying crafts at BYU, Ray discovered wood as a medium and began "a love affair with form" and made over 100 free-form containers. In the 1970s, he started making wood sculptures because wood was inexpensive, easy to work with, and he could make large forms. The greatest influence on his work at this time was Henry Moore. Jonas met Milo Baughman, a noted furniture designer, in Utah in the mid 1970s. Working for him was Ray's first experience with the carving and construction of wood furniture. He executed the designs of Milo Baughman and later constructed furniture based on his own designs. This furniture design became the balance of his work in the '80s. For Ray, the furniture was simply sculpture people could sit on. Then Ray explored the use of metal, especially steel, in fabricating sculpture. At the same time, he continued his work in wood sculpture and furniture.
