Mariane Ibrahim-Lenhardt is a Somali-French art dealer based in Chicago, Illinois. She runs the eponymous Mariane Ibrahim Gallery.

Early life and career
Mariane Ibrahim Abdi was born in Nouméa, New Caledonia and grew up in Somaliland and France. She studied advertising in London and worked in marketing in the United Kingdom. In the early 2000s, a trip to Paris started her interest in contemporary African art after she saw a photograph by Seydou Keïta being sold.

Gallery
In 2012, Ibrahim founded the M. I. A. Gallery in Seattle as a way to showcase artists from underrepresented regions such as Africa and the Middle East, focusing primarily on African and African diaspora artists. M. I. A. was an acronym for both the phrase "Missing in Art" and her birth name. She opened the gallery with an exhibit of photos from the Malian artist Malick Sidibé. By 2015, she served on the selection committee for the second Seattle Art Fair. In 2017, Ibrahim won the first Presents booth prize at The Armory Show for her exhibition of photography and textile artist, Zohra Opoku.

The gallery's name was changed to Mariane Ibrahim Gallery and in September 2019. Ibrahim moved her gallery to Chicago, Illinois in the West Town neighborhood. She opened the new gallery with an exhibition of Ayana V. Jackson's photography titled, "Take Me to the Water," which explored African water spirits. In 2021, a second space opened in a renovated three-story space on Avenue Matignon in Paris’s 8th arrondissement. In 2022, the gallery announced plans to add a two-level,  exhibition space in Mexico City’s Cuauhtémoc neighborhood.

Among others, Mariane Ibrahim Gallery represents the following living artists:
 Amoako Boafo
 Florine Démosthène
 Clotilde Jiménez
 Thenjiwe Nkosi
 Zohra Opoku
 Ferrari Sheppard (since 2022)
 Lina Iris Viktor

Controversy
In 2018, Ibrahim supported artist Lina Iris Viktor in a lawsuit against rapper Kendrick Lamar and R&B star SZA over allegations that a music video for their song “All the Stars” — featured on the soundtrack to the movie Black Panther — drew from Viktor’s work without permission. The parties later agreed to settle on terms that could not be discussed as part of the agreement, though not before 10 months of high-profile media attention was paid to issues surrounding artists’ rights.

Personal life
Ibrahim is married to Pierre Lenhardt. She is Muslim.

Powers-Samas was a British company which sold unit record equipment.

In 1915 Powers Tabulating Machine Company established European operations through the Accounting and Tabulating Machine Company of Great Britain Limited, in 1929 renamed Powers-Samas Accounting Machines Limited (Samas, full name Societe Anonyme des Machines a Statistiques, had been the Powers' sales agency in France, formed in 1922). The informal reference "Acc and Tab" would persist.

During the Second World War it produced large numbers of Typex cipher machines, derived from the German Enigma, for use by the British armed forces and other government departments. In 1959 it merged with the competing British Tabulating Machine Company (BTM) to form International Computers and Tabulators (ICT).

Description

Powers-Samas machines detected the holes in punched cards mechanically, unlike IBM equipment where holes in punched cards are detected by electrical circuits. Pins that could drop through round holes in punched cards were connected to linkages and their displacement when a hole was present actuated other parts of the machine to produce the desired results.

Setting up a machine involved building a suitable network of linkages. According to one user, this: was achieved by locating above the reading block, in contact with the tops of the matrix pins, a removable Y-shaped  'connection box' (equivalent to the Hollerith plug board) which was hard-wired  to the job. The box had at the base as many rods as were needed to read the positions within the used data fields, so that, when forced down, appropriate features of the machine - printheads, counters or control links were physically set as a reaction to the moving tops of the connecting box rods. Thus while many connection wires were straight-through, some sensed holes needed to allow multiple actuation, while some multiple code-punching needed to be combined to achieve a single purpose.  Designing the system, including setting up  the tabulator, was the sales engineers job, while soldering the  'conn-box' forest of cranked rods to meet the design requirement was down to the skill of the Powers Engineer who was thus the doyen of the machine room.

Powers-Samas used a variety of card sizes and formats, including 21, 36, 40, 45, 65 and 130 column cards. The 40-column card, measuring 4.35 by 2 inches, was the most common.

Burn is a small village and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is situated  south of Selby and  south of York. The village is mainly situated around the main A19 road with the addition of a small housing estate built in the mid-1960s to the west of the main road.

Burn was in the Selby District of North Yorkshire until 2023. The village was historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire until 1974.

History
To the east of the A19 is Burn Airfield, built in 1942 as a bomber airfield in the Second World War.  The airfield was owned by Yorkshire Forward (the regional development agency) prior to the dissolution of that body in 2012, and is now owned by the Homes and Communities Agency. It is now used by Burn Gliding Club.  For some time in the early 21st century there were plans that the airfield might be developed as the site of the European Spallation Source (ESS), a particle accelerator facility to generate neutrons by spallation.  Outline planning permission for the ESS was conditionally granted by Selby District Council on 14 September 2005.  However, later statements by Lord Sainsbury the then outgoing UK Science Minister that "no major science facility should be built outside existing sites at Oxford and Daresbury" made it appear unlikely that the project would go ahead.

Burn has its own telephone exchange which serves about 400 premises. It was enabled for ADSL in October 2004 and ADSL Max in March 2006. It has been accepting orders for FTTC BT Infinity since February 2014.

In the 20th century, Burn had a missionary house that was used as a Sunday School. It is now a private dwelling.

George King, a great-grandfather of the Colombian footballer Radamel Falcao, was born in the village.

Burn also has a public house called The Wheatsheaf Inn.

The Murder of Chen Cai Guan

In January 2009, Chinese national Chen Cai Guan was tortured and beaten to death in a warehouse on an Elvington Industrial Estate, just outside York. The two men responsible for the murder Huang Bao Lung and Zhang Zhouli both admitted links to the 14K Triads, a Hong Kong based criminal gang. Huang and Zhang rented the warehouse as part of a nationwide Cannabis factory operation, using a food storage business as a front.

In March 2009, the body of Mr Chen was found by fishermen at the canal in Burn. When the North Yorkshire Police raided the facility shortly after the murder took place, they seized 1,500 Cannabis plants and arrested the suspects, also finding traces of the victims blood that they had failed to cover up.

In July, Both Huang, from Fujian in China, and Zhang, from Dong Bei, were handed life sentences in with minimum terms of 18 years and 16 years respectively after being convicted of Mr Chen's murder.

The Diamond Queen is a BBC documentary series, presented by Andrew Marr, which looks at the life of Queen Elizabeth II. The series focuses on her accession, her daily routine, how she is seen as a role model, and how she coped in her 60th year as monarch. The programme features archive footage of the Queen, as well as in-depth footage of her major engagements since the beginning of 2010 to late 2011.

Programmes

Critical reception
The Diamond Queen series reached an audience of 7.2 million UK viewers for the first episode and 6.5 and 6.8 million for the next episodes. It achieved an Audience Appreciation Index of 90 out of 100 for each episode; a higher than average rating. The series has since been broadcast around the world.

The documentary was criticised by the campaign group Republic.  Graham Smith, the organisation's chief executive, argued in a letter to the chairman of the BBC Trust, the Lord Patten of Barnes, that the programme breached BBC guidelines on impartiality. Smith wrote in his letter that the series was subject to "distortions, half-truths and fabrications" and commented, "What was presented as a piece of biographical journalism was in fact pro-monarchy polemic". A BBC spokeswoman responded that, "The BBC abides by its requirement to be duly impartial across its output."

"Time and Chance" is a contemporary R&B, funk, and hip hop song performed by American group Color Me Badd and the lead single and title track from their second album (1993). The song is about how life is about time and chance, with it determining whether good or bad people thrive, or falter in life, and how everyone deals with their own hurt and pain. It was meant to introduce the group to a new "street" audience as hip hop and gangsta rap were becoming more popular.

The song peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 on December 11, 1993, and spend 19 weeks on the chart. It reached No. 9 on the Billboard R&B singles chart. It was their final top-ten R&B hit. The video was played extensively on BET, which helped the performance of the single. The video peaked at No. 1 on BET for the week of November 28, 1993.

Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard commented, "One of the originators of the doo-hop movement returns with wildly infectious pop/hip-hop number that weaves deeply soulful vocals into a smoldering, sexy groove. Watch for producer DJ Pooh to become the red-hot studio entity of 1994; he has crafted a hip but accessible musical foundation that showcases CMB perfectly. First taste of act's new album of the same name should do wonders in establishing a comfy niche at top 40 for a long time to come. Single of the week." Alex Kadis from Smash Hits gave the song three out of five, writing, "It's quite good — a spare and simple harmonised funk-a-long ballad that Prince ought to listen to."

Music video
The accompanying music video for "Time and Chance" was directed by Ice Cube, who was recruited by the executives and A&R in Giant Records, in order to give the group more street credibility. The video opens with narration by actor Ossie Davis, as the guys are driving around Los Angeles filming footage for a video, their camcorder gets stolen, and two female LAPD officers rough them up and frame them for drug possession. Sam is driving them around in a black Jeep.
