Winning gold in three events, it was the most gold medals won by Sweden in the Summer Olympics since the 2004 Games in Athens. The overall 9 medal haul was lower than the three preceding Olympic Games however. With Daniel Ståhl and Simon Pettersson winning gold and silver respectively in Men's discus throw, it was the first double for Sweden in an athletics event since the 1948 Olympics.

The Shawnee News-Star
The Shawnee News-Star is an American daily newspaper published in Shawnee, Oklahoma. It is the newspaper of record for Pottawatomie, Lincoln and Seminole counties, in the Oklahoma City metropolitan area.

Newspaper of record
A newspaper of record is a major national newspaper with large circulation whose editorial and news-gathering functions are considered authoritative and independent; they are thus "newspapers of record by reputation" and include some of the oldest and most widely respected newspapers in the world. The number and trend of "newspapers of record by reputation" is related to the state of press freedom and political freedom in a country.

It may also be a newspaper authorized to publish public or legal notices, thus serving as a newspaper of public record. A newspaper whose editorial content is directed by the state can be referred to as an official newspaper of record, but the lack of editorial independence means that it is not a "newspaper of record by reputation". Newspapers of record by reputation that focus on business can also be called newspapers of financial record.

This material consists of the right coracoid and nearly two-thirds of a right ulna and dates to the Langhian. G. egeriana was a very small species of loon and it was the earliest, possibly the ancestral species that gave raise to the other species in the genus.

1777 North Carolina gubernatorial election
A gubernatorial election was held in North Carolina on April 18, 1777. The incumbent governor of North Carolina Richard Caswell was re-elected.

Caswell, a militia officer and former president of the North Carolina Provincial Congress, led a coalition of radical and moderate Whigs that displaced the previously-dominant conservative political faction after 1776. Factional politics reflected regional interests, with the predominately Western radicals aligned with moderates from the Cape Fear River against the Albemarle conservatives. Following adoption of the Constitution of North Carolina in December 1776, Caswell was appointed to serve as governor until the election of a successor.

The election was conducted by the North Carolina General Assembly in joint session. Caswell was elected unanimously on the first ballot.

Radical politics
Radical politics denotes the intent to transform or replace the fundamental principles of a society or political system, often through social change, structural change, revolution or radical reform. The process of adopting radical views is termed radicalisation.

The word radical derives from the Latin radix ("root") and Late Latin radicalis ("of or pertaining to the root, radical"). Historically, political use of the term referred exclusively to a form of progressive electoral reformism, known as Radicalism, that had developed in Europe during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, the denotation has changed since its 18th century coinage to comprehend the entire political spectrum, though retaining the connotation of "change at the root".

Ludwig Maurer
Ludwig Maurer (11 December 1859 – 10 January 1927) was a German mathematician and professor at University of Tübingen. He was the eldest son of Konrad Maurer (1823–1902) and Valerie Maurer, née von Faulhaber (1833–1912). His 1887 dissertation at the University of Strassburg was on the theory of linear substitutions, known today as matrix groups.  A survey of his important contributions is contained in chapter V, §4 of (Borel 2001).

Linear group
In mathematics, a matrix group is a group G consisting of invertible matrices over a specified field K, with the operation of matrix multiplication. A linear group is a group that is isomorphic to a matrix group (that is, admitting a faithful, finite-dimensional representation over K).

Any finite group is linear, because it can be realized by permutation matrices using Cayley's theorem.  Among infinite groups, linear groups form an interesting and tractable class. Examples of groups that are not linear include groups which are "too big" (for example, the group of permutations of an infinite set), or which exhibit some pathological behavior (for example, finitely generated infinite torsion groups).
