Italian language"

When he was nineteen years old, Dante met the Florentine lady Beatriz Portinari, daughter of Folco Portinari,
whom he fell in love with at first sight, and apparently without even speaking.

The love for Beatriz, apparently, was the reason for his poetry and his life, along with his political passions.

23, 1934) were two fugitives, thieves, and criminals from the United States.

They were characterized by having a great love, and remained united until the moment of
his death.

Bonnie and Clyde caught the attention of the American press and were considered "public
enemies" between 1931 and 1934.

the band they formed was known for bank robberies

In the article Bonnie and Clyde: Romeo and Juliet run off the road, writer Joseph Geringer
explained that Bonnie and Clyde enjoyed the sympathy of part of American society, and
called them modern "Robin Hood", and that his tragic death He made them a legend.

Bonnie was born on October 1, 1910 in Rowena, Texas, as the second of the three
children of Emma and Charles Parker.

Working as a waitress, she met Clyde in January 1930 through a mutual friend. He was a
young man of twenty

a lover Bonnie secretly handed a gun to Clyde during a visit, and with her, he and some
companions fled on March 11, 1930 so they began a criminal career that lasted 4 years
until the death of the famous couple

Bonnie and Clyde were ambushed and killed on May 23, 1934, on a side road near

from Louisiana.
Augusta Ada King, Countess of Lovelace​ (London, December 10, 1815-íd., November
27, 1852) is commonly known as Ada Lovelace,

she was a mathematician, computer scientist and British writer,

famous above all for his work on Charles Babbage's general-purpose calculator, the
so-called analytical machine.

Between his notes on the machine, is what is recognized today as the first algorithm to be
processed by a machine, so it is considered as the first computer programmer

she deduced and foresaw the ability of computers to go beyond simple number
calculations, while others, including Babbage himself, focused solely on these capabilities.

His mother, Anne Isabella Noel Byron, was a mathematician and political and social
activist.
His father was the famous poet George Byron.

Given her social position and education, she met important scientists such as Andrew
Crosse, Charles Wheatstone, Michael Faraday and the novelist Charles Dickens,

Among these relationships he met Mary Somerville, who was his tutor for a time, as well
as a friend and intellectual encouragement. Byron referred to herself as a scientific poet
and as an analyst

At an early age, her mathematical talent led her to a prolonged friendship relationship with
the English mathematician Charles Babbage,

Between 1842 and 1843, he translated an article by the Italian military engineer Luigi
Menabrea on the calculating machine, which he supplemented with a large set of own
notes, called simply Notes.

These notes contain what is considered to be the first computer program, that is, an
encoded algorithm for a machine to process it. Lovelace's notes are important in the
history of computing.

Doron Swade, a specialist in computer history mentioned the following

She was a mathematical genius


She made an influential contribution to the analytical engine
She was the first computer programmer
She was a prophetess of the computer age

Finally, she died at thirty-six on November 27, 1852, accompanied by her mother, Lady
Byron, and her husband William King.
She was buried, at her request, with her father, in the village parish of Hucknall Torkard, in
Nottinghamshire, near Newstead Abbey, United Kingdom
