ada 25 bay area.org. for updates on this event as well as many other events that are happening throughout the bay area all year. mod has a new deputy director who is going to be starting on monday. we are so excited about that. his name is arforas, a specialist in ada compliance for the last 12 years. he has a very robust resume in ada transition plans and other counties and also developing ada training programs for the state of california as well as for cal trans. when he arrives next week, he's going to have to hit the ground running because i have so many assignments for him. he's going to be taking on managing our own transition plan projects, including the bayview upper house, upgrades to two neighborhood health clinics, improvements to san francisco general hospital and many others. i hope to give you an opportunity to meet him at next tuesday's mdc executive committee meeting. next on offices. you might know that this office work very closely to initiate video interpreting for sign language in our

regarding the ada celebration. july 26th the 26th anniversary of the signing of the ada and this civil rights act has transformed this situation and if not, try going to other places and see the barriers and with ramps and benches for council have really helped a nation to be more inclusive and given people with disability to live more independently. but we know that ada is more about just curb ramps but also for employment and accommodations when appropriate and about the youth to learn and play together because that's really how our culture changes when we all know more about each other and get to enter act and get to communications and information and technology accessible. i think it's note worthy that this year was the anniversary of the march on selma and the 50th anniversary on the civil rights act because we are these are all connected. our office continues to work with the aids referral badge and the for the blind and the public authority to plan our big celebration here at city hall. we want you to save t

just like ada could visualize the beauty of an equation or algorithm. she writes algorithms to show what a computer can do the new 1830s. so she realizes there's beauty in a mathematical phrase and she can visualize that just like she can visualize she walks in beauty like the night. that's what i meant by saying there's a beauty in both the arts the humanities on the one side and technology and science on the other side. >> host: you have a timeline in your book which kicks off with ada lovelace inventor of e-mail in here the -- >> guest: google -- >> host: et cetera, et cetera. what is it she contributed? >> guest: the main thing she does when she sees the beauty of the connection of arts to science, is that she comes up with a concept of a general purpose computer. for example, show travels through end land as -- england as a young woman and sees the mechanical looms and they use punch cards so the looms would weave beautiful patterns and her father was a luddite, meaning his only speech was -- they thought they put people out of work, but ada look a
