Alan G. Gross (June 2, 1936 - October 16, 2020) was a professor of rhetoric and Communication Studies at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities where he also held appointments in the Center for Philosophy of Science, and in the rhetoric, scientific, and technical communication graduate program, the latter of which he was a founding faculty member.

# Melin Shorthand

The Melin system of shorthand is the dominant shorthand system used in Sweden. It was created by Olof Melin (1849–1940), an officer in the Swedish Army. He was a teacher of the Gabelsberger shorthand system in the Swedish army, but he was dissatisfied with it so he created an alternate system, that today is known as the Melin System.

## Basic forms

The basic forms of the Melin System are the consonants, vowels, and combinations. In addition there are a large number of ending forms as well as abbreviations. The basic forms are shown below:
Some of the vowels and consonants have the same shapes, but they are distinguishable from their context, as vowels are always written from the bottom up and consonants from the top down.
Here follows a longer text from the 1917 edition of the Swedish encyclopedia Nordisk familjebok:
In clear text this corresponds to:
    Korthet och snabbskrifvenhet äro onekligen viktiga egenskaper hos stenografien, men af fullt ut lika stor betydelse är tillförlitligheten och tydligheten, och där den saknas, har man intet egentligt gagn för det praktiska lifvet af kunskapen i stenografi. Det system, som visar sig bäst motsvara anspråken på tydlighet, skall därför i längden komma att stå som segrare i striden mellan de olika metoderna.
In English translation:
    Conciseness and the ability to write fast are no doubt important traits for the shorthand practitioner, but just as important are the reliability and the clarity, and where it is lacking, there is no gain in practical life for the knowledge of shorthand. The system, that is shown to best fulfill the requirements of clarity, will therefore in the long run stand out as a winner in the battle between the different methods.

# OpenGL Utility Library

The OpenGL Utility Library (GLU) is a computer graphics library for OpenGL.
It consists of a number of functions that use the base OpenGL library to provide higher-level drawing routines from the more primitive routines that OpenGL provides. It is usually distributed with the base OpenGL package. GLU is not implemented in the embedded version of the OpenGL package, OpenGL ES.
Among these features are mapping between screen- and world-coordinates, generation of texture mipmaps, drawing of quadric surfaces, NURBS, tessellation of polygonal primitives, interpretation of OpenGL error codes, an extended range of transformation routines for setting up viewing volumes and simple positioning of the camera, generally in more human-friendly terms than the routines presented by OpenGL. It also provides additional primitives for use in OpenGL applications, including spheres, cylinders and disks.
All GLU functions start with the glu prefix. An example function is gluOrtho2D which defines a two dimensional orthographic projection matrix.
The GLU specification was last updated in 1998, and it depends on features which were deprecated with the release of OpenGL 3.1 in 2009. Specifications for GLU are still available here

# Antoine Touron

Antoine Touron (5 September 1686 – 2 September 1775) was a French Dominican biographer and historian.

## Biography

Touron was born at Graulhet, Tarn, France, the son of a merchant, and seems to have joined the Dominicans at an early age.

He died at Paris.

## Works

Touron wrote twenty-nine books, dealing largely with the history of the Dominican order and the biographical sketches of its notable men. Daniel-Antonin Mortier, in his Histoire des maîtres généraux de l'ordre des frères prêcheurs, made generous use of his Histoire des hommes illustres.
Touron's writings include:
* Vie de saint Thomas d'Aquin
* Vie de saint Dominique avec une hist. abrégée des ses premiers disciples
* Hist. des hommes illustres de l'ordre de saint Dominique
* De la providence, traité hist., dogmat. et mor.
* La main de Dieu sur les incrédules, ou hist. abrégée des Israélites
