2018 Maryland Senate election
Elections for the Maryland Senate were held on November 6, 2018, with all 47 seats being contested. Republicans had initially hoped to break the Democrats' supermajority in the upper chamber by knocking off five incumbents, known as their "Drive for Five" plan. Though they did make a net gain of one seat, they came short of their goal. Three seats switched hands: District 9 in Carroll and Howard counties flipped from Republican to Democratic while District 38 in Somerset, Wicomico, and Worcester counties and District 42 in Baltimore County both flipped from Democrats to Republicans.

The Maryland Senate had been in Democratic hands since the elections of 1900. Despite Governor Larry Hogan's success in his gubernatorial race at the top of the ticket, nobody expected Republicans to come close to recapturing the majority. In terms of popular vote, Maryland's Republican Senate candidates performed significantly worse than they previously had in 2014.

Lynching of Thomas Bradshaw
Thomas Bradshaw was an African-American man who was lynched by a mob in Bailey, North Carolina, in August 1927.

Bradshaw was accused of rape and arrested, but in "what appeared to be a mob orchestrated maneuver, he was allowed to escape arrest. He was then patiently chased and hunted over two days and nights before being captured, exhausted, and then murdered by a group of white men who went unpunished."

John R. Steelman, who wrote his PhD dissertation on "mob action in the South", listed Thomas Bradshaw as one of the cases, and said Bradshaw, after "being shot five times by a posse in Nash County, in 1927, fell dead 'on account of heart failure from fatigue' according to the coroner's jury."

LifeWiki
LifeWiki is a wiki dedicated to Conway's Game of Life. It hosts over 2000 articles on the subject and a large collection of Life patterns stored in a format based on run-length encoding that it uses to interoperate with other Life software such as Golly.

LifeWiki was founded in 2009 by Nathaniel Johnston, a professor of mathematics and computer science at Mount Allison University, as part of the ConwayLife site founded in 2008 by Johnston. It serves as a focal point for one of the many mathematical communities John Horton Conway's work brought into being, a starting point for Life enthusiasts to learn about new developments in Life patterns, and a comprehensive listing of the many forms of emergent behavior that Life patterns are now known to have.

Emergence
In philosophy, systems theory, science, and art, emergence occurs when a complex entity has properties or behaviors that its parts do not have on their own, and emerge only when they interact in a wider whole.

Emergence plays a central role in theories of integrative levels and of complex systems. For instance, the phenomenon of life as studied in biology is an emergent property of chemistry and physics.

In philosophy, theories that emphasize emergent properties have been called emergentism.
