Peter Hessler：River Town

I stood there awkwardly, nodding as if I understood. I couldn’t imagine
thinking that life in the college was any sort of true freedom, although I
knew that I would feel differently if I had spent the Cultural Revolution in
China. And perhaps I also would have felt differently if I were married to the
highest-ranking Communist official in the college. I knew this thought was
inappropriate but still I couldn’t push it away.

Mostly I longed to find something that I could do well. This was part of
why the simple routines of the city fascinated me; I could watch a stick-stick
soldier or a restaurant cook with incredible intensity simply because these
people were good at what they did. There was a touch of voyeurism in my
attention, at least in the sense that I watched the people work with all of
the voyeur’s impotent envy. There were many days when I would have liked
nothing more than to have had a simple skill that I could do over and over
again, as long as I did it well.
Running was repetitive in this way, and it was also an escape. If I ran on
the roads, cars honked at me, people laughed and shouted, and sometimes a
young man would try to impress his friends by chasing after me. But crowds
couldn’t gather around, and none of the young men followed for long. I ran
alone, and in a crowded country that sort of solitude was worth something.
There was nobody in the city who could catch me.

President Jiang Zemin spoke for fifty minutes. At the start he was broken
up, wiping his face and sobbing, and I could see that some of the students
were also crying. A handful of freshmen boys in the back started to giggle.
But they kept quiet and most of the group was sober, and after ten minutes
everybody was simply bored. From outside I could hear the sounds of laborers working on the new dormitory behind my apartment. I thought that
of all the memorials, Deng would have liked that one the most—the steady
homage of clinking chisels as yet another building was constructed in China.

Suddenly a raft appeared, looking rather like Noah's ark, carrying the whole family, a few hens, the dogs,a cat, and a
bird in a cage. We realized that they must have become unduly frightened by the rising flood, for their house,
which had sound foundations, would have stood stoutly even if it had been almost submerged.

However, some Chinese scholars debate
whether Deng’s policy approach will continue
to win support as China’s interests increase
abroad and its power expands. China’s
perceived security interests have changed
considerably since Deng’s era to include a
heavy reliance on maritime commerce.
China’s improving naval capabilities enable
roles and missions that would have been
impossible for the PLA to pursue just a decade ago.

Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson

Iger flew up to Emeryville to meet Jobs and jointly announce the deal to
the Pixar workers. But before they did, Jobs sat down alone with Lasseter and
Catmull. “If either of you have doubts,” he said, “I will just tell them no
thanks and blow off this deal.” He wasn’t totally sincere. It would have been
almost impossible to do so at that point. But it was a welcome gesture. “I’m
good,” said Lasseter. “Let’s do it.” Catmull agreed. They all hugged, and
Jobs wept.

At one point Jobs attacked the Lisa team for producing an unsuccessful
product. “Well,” someone shot back, “you haven’t delivered the Macintosh!
Why don’t you wait until you get a product out before you start being
critical?” Sculley was astonished. At Pepsi no one would have challenged the
chairman like that. “Yet here, everyone began pig-piling on Steve.” It
reminded him of an old joke he had heard from one of the Apple ad
salesmen: “What’s the difference between Apple and the Boy Scouts? The
Boy Scouts have adult supervision.”

Jobs’s relationship with his two younger daughters was somewhat more
distant. He paid less attention to Erin, who was quiet, introspective, and
seemed not to know exactly how to handle him, especially when he was
emitting wounding barbs. She was a poised and attractive young woman,
with a personal sensitivity more mature than her father’s. She thought that
she might want to be an architect, perhaps because of her father’s interest in
the field, and she had a good sense of design. But when her father was
showing Reed the drawings for the new Apple campus, she sat on the other
side of the kitchen, and it seemed not to occur to him to call her over as well.
Her big hope that spring of 2010 was that her father would take her to the
Oscars. She loved the movies. Even more, she wanted to fly with her father
on his private plane and walk up the red carpet with him. Powell was quite
willing to forgo the trip and tried to talk her husband into taking Erin. But he
dismissed the idea.
At one point as I was finishing this book, Powell told me that Erin wanted
to give me an interview. It’s not something that I would have requested, since
she was then just turning sixteen, but I agreed. The point Erin emphasized
was that she understood why her father was not always attentive, and she
accepted that. “He does his best to be both a father and the CEO of Apple,
and he juggles those pretty well,” she said. “Sometimes I wish I had more of
his attention, but I know the work he’s doing is very important and I think it’s
really cool, so I’m fine. I don’t really need more attention.”

This is helpful from an application perspective. This is because it will
have prior knowledge of a large portion of the scene and this can be used as an opportunity
to add appropriate optimizations to the submission, which would've been difficult to
achieve in OpenGL.

The final victor was Julius Caesar, the conqueror of Gaul, who had built up a powerful and
devoted army. In 49 B.C.E. he crossed the river
Rubicon, which separated Gaul from Italy, and
in a series of brilliant campaigns defeated the
forces of the Senate under his rival Pompey. Caesar was now the undisputed master of the
empire. Precisely what he would have done with
his mastery cannot be known, for he was murdered in 44 B.C.E. by representatives of the old
oligarchy
