...Ada Lovelace was born in 1815, and died in 1852 from cancer. Ada Lovelace was the daughter of a famous poet Lord Byron and Anabella Millbank, who also enjoyed math. Ada’s parents were divorced right after she was born and was never able to meet her estrange father. However, her father corresponded with her mother on her upbringing. Anabella Millbank, Ada’s mother, did not want her daughter to be a poet like her father and did everything possible, pushed Ada night and day, to learn mathematics. Even though Ada’s fond interests were elsewhere, her mother diminished those interests until Ada grew a fondness of math, by no choice of her own. At an early age Ada met with Charles Babbage in London, and with that Ada first learned of the Difference Engine. This is when Ada Lovelace’s eyes grew with enormous content, interest, and enthusiasm of the invention, which was later known as the Analytical Engine. In her twenties, Ada married her husband (several years her age) Earl William King and soon after, she bore three children. After having her children she became engrossed and focused on the formulation of the Analytical Engine, which took several years of extensive work, which she loved. Ada composed a “plan for how the engine might calculate Bernoulli numbers. This plan is now regarded as the first “computer program” (Larry Riddle, p. 1). Ada became ill and was diagnosed with cancer of the uterus and died at an early age, like her father, right after her accomplishments. Ada’s achievement...

...Ada Lovelace was born in London on December 10th, 1815. Her parents were Lord George Gordon Byron and Lady Anne Isabella Milbanke Byron. They didn’t have a happy relationship, and Lady Byron separated from her husband weeks after Ada was born. A few months later, Lord Byron left England, and Ada never saw him again because unfortunately he died in Greece when Ada was 8 years old. Later on in her life, Ada’s mother hired tutors to teach her science and math. She believed that if Ada engaged in these, it would prevent her from developing her father's moody and unpredictable temper. In 1835, Ada married William King. They had three children together. Ada's health suffered after a case of cholera in 1837. Doctors gave her painkillers and her personality...

It was years later before Ada would have any contact with her sister, Medora Leigh, the daughter of Byron’s half-sister Augusta Leigh. Ada and Medora were told by Ada’s mother that Byron was Medora’s father. Ada’s mother taught her music and mathemathics at an early age and home schooled her as well. Ada also received tutoring in mathemathics and science from William Frend, William king, and Mary Somervilleand Augusta De Morgan. In 1932, Mary Somerville, noted researcher and scientific auther of the 19th century introduced Ada to Charles Babbage and later to her husband. Ada began studying and documenting on Babbage calculating machine, the Analytical Engine. She published the first in-depth paper on programming a computer. In 1935, at the age of 19 Ada married William King, later becoming the first Earl of Lovelace, in which she gained the title the Countess of Lovelace. The couple had three children, sons Byron Noel, Ralph Gordon, and daughter Anne Isabella. Ada became an expert on Babbage’s...

Often times we hear people say “They are not really in love they are just lustful”. Lust means you think you are in “love” with somebody but you actually don’t love him or her whole heartily. Inman and Ada are main characters in the book and they truly fall in love with each other. The book jumps back and fourth between Ada and Inman telling the story.

The lab also introduces the methods to determine the characteristics of the pump. The experiment is conducted using a parallel-series centrifugal pump test rig. Objectives The objective of this experiment is to determine the pump characteristics H versus Q, P, versus Q, and versus Q at a given speed. The experiment also aims to verify speed laws Q N and H N2 for the same pump. Procedure * Set the motor speed to the testing value (2000 rpm in this case) and the valve fully open, using the speed controller button on the control panel * Determine the mass required to balance the torque arm * Determine the head using pressure gauges * Determine the flow rate using the flow meter * Repeat the experiment with different valve setting for the same motor speed Results Sample Calculation for Pump1 Pressure Head P = Pout - Pin P = 0 – (-0.35) = 0.35 kgf/cm2 Head H = Pρg×98066.5 N/m21 kgf/cm2=0.35×98066.51000×9.81=3.49m Pump1 at speed N1 = 2000 r.p.m = 209.4 rad/s The results for the experiment are...

...SEGi University American Degree Program IPS 100 U.S Government Spring 2013 Sarah Shakeera Sharani SCM The U.S Government should not ban abortion. 27th February 2013 Contents Introduction…………………………………………………………………………. 3 The dilemma………………………………………………………………………… 4 The Ideology………………………………………………………………………… 5 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………... 8 Reference……………………………………………………………………………. 10 Introduction The issue on abortion has always been a world-renowned issue that is highly debated among the government, the liberals and the conservatives. The battle between choosing order or freedom has been a question that many cannot answer as the pros and cons in this issue are at an equal balance. An individual’s moral and religious view are questioned when it comes to this issue as well as a women’s right to choose. The two groups that come into play in this issue is those who supports the pro-life movement and those who supports the pro-choice movement. The pro-life movement is against abortion because they believe that the unborn child has to right to choose whether to be born and the mother does not have the right to terminate a life. The pro-choice movement supports abortion because they believe that a mother should be given the right to choose whether or not to bring a life into this world. Whatever the reason it may be for an individual to choose between being against and supporting abortion, the decision to ban abortion is in the hands of the government...

I have gathered information pertaining to the Americans with Disabilities Act to better educate those with disabilities and employers alike. I have found that even with the Act in place the number of discriminatory complaints regarding disabled people continues to rise each year. I recommend that employers make a better, conscious effort to employ and accommodate those who are disabled. Joey Lahman MGMT 339 – Cross Cultural Management Research Paper History of the Americans with Disabilities Act The Americans with Disabilities Act was first introduced to Congress in 1988 and was officially signed into law at the White House, during a signing ceremony on July 26, 1990 (dredf.org). However, the need for the Americans with Disabilities Act began long before that in cities all over the country. When individuals with disabilities and parents of children with disabilities began to fight for equality in their communities. The first step towards the Americans with Disabilities Act was the establishment of small groups that would advocate for the rights of the disabled and the Independent Living Movement, which “challenged the notion...
