Most Americans have a personal computer in their households. Ada Lovelace is the one that made that happen. Lovelace was born on December 10, 1815, in London, United Kingdom. She was raised without a father figure but had many adult figures such as her mother and her many tutors who helped develop her love of science and math. She wrote “Notes” on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, which has many of the traits as today’s modern computer. Her “Notes” described how Babbage’s Analytical Engine worked
However, Ada Lovelace is the exception to this cliché. Ada Byron was born in London, England on December 10, 1815. Her surname Byron come from her father who was the famous poet Lord Byron. Ironically, she never met her father for her mother, Anne Isabelle Milbanke divorced from him when she was born. Therefore, Milbanke did not want Ada to have the same qualities like Lord Byron. In the 1800’s, the women in London were primarily schooled about literature and the arts. However, Ada, being born
Ada Lovelace grew from a financially well-off upbringing; her father was the famous poet, Lord Byron and her mother was a baroness. Even though her father separated from Lovelace’s mother, that did not stop her mother from attempting to provide Ada Lovelace with the most advanced education. The baroness encouraged science and mathematics, while she discouraged literature. Lovelace became extremely gifted in mathematics and would eventually lead a legacy in computer science and women in technology
Ada Lovelace was the only legitimate child of the romantic poet, George Gordon, Lord Byron. But Ada Lovelace was not interested in becoming a poet or even have anything to do with, romantic poetry. In the text it states, “Ada preferred more logical subjects like math and science, rather than literature or poetry.” Young Ada Lovelace showed a genius for math at an young age. Ada actually had a younger sister named Allegra who was 5. Sadly Allegra died at the age of 5 because Ada’s father, Lord
If you have a computing device or a smart phone, then you should thank and give credit to Augusta Ada King-Noel, Countess of Lovelace better known as Ada Lovelace. Ada is known for her outstanding and exceptional work on Charles Babbage’s Analytical Engine, she developed the first algorithm to be processed by a machine, and she is the very first computer programmer. She is also the architect of the very first computer program. Ada’s father George Gordon Byron also known as Lord Byron was an English
London,U.K. Her name was Augusta Ada Byron later known as Countess of Lovelace. She was born in a time when the revolution was beginning in Portugal and Turkey invaded Syria. Napoleon also escaped from exile on the Mediterranean of Elba around 1816. The 36 year old deceased mathematician spent her early childhood surrounded by tutors of her mother's choice. Her mother, left widowed after an unhappy marriage and death of her late husband, raised her alone. Ada never had a chance to develop a relationship
Briefly describe the 1984 case of Denice Haraway. Describe the Ada police mistreatment of Tommy Ward and Karl Fontenot with regard to the case. Make connections to the Ada police mistreatment of Ron Williamson and Dennis Fritz. Denice Haraway was at a local convenience store, where she was assumed to be kidnapped with no traceable evidence. Haraway’s body was never found nor was it proven she was kidnapped supporting her disappearance. Moreover, the only account to follow through was the statement
Ada Lovelace was an English mathematician born December 10, 1815, in London, England, and died November 27, 1852. Her father was a free-spirited poet while her mother was very rigid (Meriwether, 2014). Ada’s parents separated shortly after her birth, and Ada was left to the care of her mother (Meriwether, 2014). Her mother feared Ada would be weak and free-spirited like her father, so Ada’s mother hired tutors who were only allowed to teach her mathematics and science (Meriwether, 2014). Ada
grey striped baseball uniform with a purple helmet? This project relates to a lot of ideas in the course. The first one being the ADA. ADA is an acronym for Americans with Disabilities Act. Under the ADA a school is listed as a business believe it or not. As a business it is recommended that they follow the voluntary action plan for accessible websites. Speaking of ADA that wouldn’t have come about without the Disability Rights Movement. The Disability Rights Movement was a movement that was used
I took the short quiz as part of this assignment to see if I was familiar with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I scored 8/12. I answered incorrectly questions 3, 6, 10 and 12. Just by taking this short quiz has opened my eyes to things that I take for granted. I had a difficult time answering number 3, I don’t see deaf people as having a physical or mental impairment. My kids have a friend that is deaf and they communicate with him by writing back and forth, they don’t look at him
Succession for the disabilities act is meant to prepare for change in its management. Change is inevitable and this comes from the change of attitude from the discrimination and poor upholding of the constitutional rights of disabled individuals. The ADA unfortunately is unknown by a large population of individuals. Many are unaware of its protections and benefits. This policy proposal provides enough evidence of the need of succession of the current policy. It provides a multitude of reports that outline
At the time of writing, Ada was a young married woman and pregnant with her second child. Although it is a brief note, Ada appears at ease and satisfied with her life signalled by her talk of the good weather, her fruitful garden and good health at that time. This letter gave no hint of the events that would soon occur in a few short weeks that radically changed Ada’s life and that of her children’s lives for many years to come. This personal narrative begins by recalling Ada’s frequent absences
The first argument that can be made is that the ADA has not accomplished its goal to give employment to individuals with disabilities. Since the the employment rates of individuals with a disability has declined since the act was signed (Kruse and Schur 31). According to Social psychologist Peter Black research, the goal of the ADA is to allow individuals that are competent with a disability to be hired, promoted, retained and treated equally, without being ridicule based on their performance within
When Stewart and his helpers begin carrying her belongings from the beach, Ada writes on the pad she carries around her neck in all caps, “I NEED THE PIANO," and Stewart, mistaking muteness for deafness, shouts back, “Too heavy.” The piano produces an effect to their relationship. Stewart’s refusal to carry her piano, even with
The poem "The Leash" by Ada Limón is written in free verse that uses several literary devices to convey its themes and ideas. Limon focuses on imagery, metaphor, and repetition to deliver the central idea of the poem that one ought to preserve hope for a peaceful and harmless world, despite the challenges and limitations that may arise. One of the main literary devices that Limon used in “The Leash” is a metaphor. At the beginning of the poem, Limon used several metaphors to refer to a violent and
From the Dark Tower is a poem written by Countee Cullen. It can be interpreted to showcase the restrictions and struggles that African American people have to face when it comes to growing and being valued as an important members of society and life because of their skin color. This becomes much more clear as the poem goes on and by examining the figurative language, diction, structure, and other prominent literary elements. To begin, the very first line starts off the poem by beginning an extended
The search for the soul by Inman and Ada are very different, but they both have to work hard, and do, to get what they want and need. Inman eventually makes it back to Cold Mountain and is reunited with Ada, but never gets all the way home. He does, however, find what he wanted when he left the war. His reunion with Ada gives him solace, and “[the cabin they stayed in on their first night] was a place that held within its walls no pain nor even a vague memory collection of pain.” Inman is finally
Jobs, Alan Turing, as well as the ever so important Ada Lovelace, which her parts of the story begin and ends the book itself. This book bluntly promotes the idea that innovators are created by the collaboration or multiple of people with different abilities, combining the knowledge from the different genres of human knowledge in order to create their invention and be labeled as an innovator. This differs from the idea that
Tangled up in Blue and The Road Goes on Forever The song, Tangled Up in Blue by Bob Dylan and The Road Goes on Forever by Robert Earl Keen, both show how the two men experienced the acrimony of love. Love appears to become the core fundamental goal in both of the songs. Frequently, people underestimate the power of love and the things people are willing to do for love. Love without risk, even worse, there is no love without cost or sorrow, misery, and pain. Love brings agony, yet, people pursue
Before reading the content of the lecture, I thought about the ADA and how great it was—to have a major body of law to recognize that in 1990 approximately 51.2 million American were pervasively discriminated against in terms of exclusion from transportation, community participation, employment opportunities, telecommunications, and common services (Disabled in Action, 2002). The ADA’s five titles would endorse equal opportunities and equal access for people with disabilities to be able to socialize
