The Surdna Foundation was established as a charitable foundation in 1917 by John Emory Andrus to pursue a range of philanthropic purposes.

History
A devoted family man with nine children, Andrus founded the Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial in 1928 as a tribute to his beloved wife. She had been orphaned as a child, and in her honor Andrus bought a farm in Westchester County, New York in order to establish an orphanage. The Memorial later changed its name to the Surdna Foundation, with "Surdna" being the backward spelling of the family name Andrus.

In 1953 Andrus' youngest child, Helen Benedict, was serving as the chairman of Surdna. That year the foundation built the John E. Andrus Memorial, a retirement home for 200 elderly residents on land adjacent to the Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial. She and the Foundation thereby completed his expressed wish that his legacy provide "opportunity for youth and rest for old age." In the early 1970s, the board of the Julia Dyckman Andrus Memorial shifted its programmatic emphasis to serve as a residential treatment, special education and diagnostic center for emotionally disabled children.

Funding
Family stewardship of Surdna over the years has been informed by Andrus's values: thrift, practicality, modesty, loyalty, excellence and an appreciation for direct service to those in need. These values have been applied both to oversight of the two Memorials and to more general grant programs. In 1989, the third and fourth generations of the Andrus family on the Surdna board established programs in Environment and Community Revitalization and decided to enlarge the professional staff to broaden the Foundation's effectiveness. In 1994, programs in Effective Citizenry and the Arts were added. The Nonprofit Sector Support Program was added in 1997 to address crosscutting issues affecting the sector.

In 2019 some descendants of John Emory Andrus questioned whether the foundation had deviated from Andrus's original goals and stated that the foundation was planning on focusing all its efforts on racial equity.

Successes
The Comprehensive Community Revitalization Program (CCRP) was a $10 million effort by 21 foundations and corporations (initiated by the Surdna Foundation in 1991). Its goal was to materially boost the quality of life in a large swath of the South Bronx, to support a group of CDCs by buying into their agenda for doing so, and to (later) create an institution that could live on vigorously and independently after the program formally concluded in 1998.

Moguri Mod is a fan-made mod for the Steam version of the video game Final Fantasy IX. It uses AI upscaling and hands-on work to remaster the backgrounds, cutscenes and textures of the game, based on the graphics of the original PlayStation version, as well as adding other graphical features and a remastered soundtrack composed by Pontus Hultgren. While the game's official remaster uses a simple upscale and noise removal to make the backgrounds HD, this caused significant loss of detail, whereas Moguri Mod retains the detail using a more advanced algorithm. Originally released in 2018, its most recent version is the 8.3 "Memoria update" released in 2021, which adds a borderless fullscreen mode to the game.

Background and development 
Square Enix's attempt to remaster the original Final Fantasy IX was hampered by a lack of backups for the original background artwork prior to being downscaled to fit on a PlayStation disc, besides a select few artists who kept their own work. This forced the developers to directly upscale the original graphics of the game, which were low resolution and dithered, causing a loss of detail that is evident in the final product. Moguri Mod was created to use a GAN (generative adversarial network) to allow for more detail than would normally be available using the source material, with layer edges also being redrawn manually.

Reception 
Wes Fenlon of PC Gamer called the original PC version of Final Fantasy IX "a decent port", but praised Moguri Mod as "going beyond just improved backgrounds to fix most of the PC port's other flaws, too". Remarking that "boy, does it look good", he criticized the mod for making some backgrounds "look a bit more like watercolor paintings than they originally did", but noted that, when compared to the original's "grainy, blurry versions", that the mod was "as good as it could possibly get". He also singled out the replacement of the game's default font with one more faithful to the original as a notable improvement, calling the original "bland" and "ill-fitting".

Brandon R. Chinn of Superjump called the mod "a striking example of what can be done to properly remaster our beloved video games". Graham Smith of Rock Paper Shotgun said that the mod looked "beautiful", calling it "FFIX as you remember it". Connor Sheridan of GamesRadar+, calling the original remaster's backgrounds "muddy blurs", said that Moguri Mod was "beautifully crisp yet fluid" in comparison. Jessica Ramey of TheGamer called the mod "yet another triumph for fans".

The James V. Brown Library is a public library in Williamsport, in Lycoming County, Pennsylvania and the headquarters of the Lycoming County Library System and the North Central Library District. The main building formally opened to the public in 1907.

History 

When James V. Brown died in 1904, he left a plot of land and $150,000 for the creation of a public library. This included $10,000 for the purchase of books and an endowment of $10,000 per year for other library-related purposes. The cornerstone was laid on 10 March 1906, and the library opened on 17 June 1907 with an initial holding of approximately 12,000 volumes (1,300 were in the reference room, 1,600 in the children's room and 600 in the Pennsylvania room). By noon of the first day, 150 books had been checked out.

The building was designed by Edgar V. Sealer of Philadelphia in imitation of French Renaissance architecture, and is built of white Pennsylvania marble. The entrance door is flanked by double columns; over it is a bust of the donor.

In 2008, work began on a new children's wing with  of floor space on three floors. This new wing, the Kathryn Siegel Welch Children's Wing, was completed in 2009 at a cost $6.5 million, of which $2 million came from a state grant.

The library operates three traveling library vehicles, the Bookmobile, Book's Bus and the Storymobile.

Recognition 

The library has received many "Best Practices in Early Learning" awards from the Pennsylvania Library Association for its early childhood programs.

Yaman Kalyan is a Hindustani classical raga, related to Yaman.  The movement of this raga is like Yaman, except that in the descent, it gently touches the flat madhyam using the GmG pattern occasionally.

Description 
Ustad Dhyanesh Khan used to say that the flat madhyam in Yaman Kalyan is like the beautiful face of a veiled woman that comes out of the veil occasionally but disappears behind it almost instantaneously.

As it is related to Yaman, it is a part of the Kalyan thaat.

Maryland's 4th congressional district special election of 2008 took place on June 17, 2008 to fill the seat in the United States House of Representatives left vacant by the resignation of Maryland congressman Albert Wynn.  Democrat Donna Edwards won the election by a large margin.

Background
Maryland's 4th congressional district seat was vacant after Congressman Albert Wynn resigned on May 31, 2008. Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley announced that a special election would be held on June 17, 2008 to fill the seat for the remainder of the 110th Congress. In order to save time and money, O'Malley signed legislation to allow the Democratic and Republican parties to choose candidates by committee instead of holding primaries. As expected, both parties chose the November general election nominees (who had already been nominated in primaries for that election) as their respective June special election candidates so that either winner would be positioned to run as the party incumbent in November. 

Election officials estimated the cost for holding the special election ranged from $1.05 to $1.25 million, which was borne by the taxpayers of the 4th District.

Candidates
Donna Edwards (D), attorney, Democratic general election nominee, 2006 Democratic candidate for Congress
Peter James (R), public Advocate, Republican general election nominee
Thibeaux Lincecum (L)

Women of Faith is a 2009 documentary by Rebecca M. Alvin, which examines women's decisions to lead religious lives in the Roman Catholic tradition in the post-feminist era. It asks the question, "why would a woman choose a nun’s life today?"

Individual interviews with seven women provide answers—and explore how rebellion can happen within and outside the Church, how women in the Church reconcile conflicting, religious, personal, and political beliefs, and how they view official Church positions on contraception, homosexuality, and women's ordination as priests. The diverse group includes Poor Clares, contemplative nuns who spend most of their days in prayer, Maryknolls who have served in Central America, a lesbian former nun, and a Roman Catholic Womanpriest.

The film is distributed by Women Make Movies. It has a running time of 60 minutes.
