The 2008 United States Senate election in Delaware was held on November 4, 2008. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Joe Biden, who was also the Democratic nominee for vice president in the concurrent presidential election, faced Christine O'Donnell in the general election. Biden won re-election to a seventh term with 64.69% of the vote, his best-performing result in his senatorial career, while also being elected vice president. Biden took his oath of office in the Senate chamber with the rest of his colleagues on January 3, 2009, but resigned his seat on January 15, 2009, and assumed the vice presidency five days later. Delaware Governor Ruth Ann Minner appointed Ted Kaufman, a Democrat and longtime Biden advisor, to fill the vacant seat until a special election in 2010. O'Donnell once again ran unsuccessfully for the seat; she was defeated by Democrat Chris Coons.

This marked the last time Biden won all three counties in the state, as concurrently in his vice presidential runs in 2008 and 2012, and in his presidential run in 2020, he would go on to only win New Castle and Kent counties, as Sussex County would vote for the Republican ticket in each election.

Candidates

 Joe Biden, incumbent U.S. Senator (unopposed)

Republican 
 Christine O'Donnell, media consultant and political analyst
 Tim Smith, businessman

General election

Campaign 
After ending his 2008 presidential bid in January 2008, Biden focused instead on running for a seventh Senate term. He was unopposed within his party.

O'Donnell faced businessman Tim Smith at the Republican state party convention and won with more than 60 percent of the  delegate vote.

On August 23, 2008, Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama announced that he had selected Biden to serve as his vice presidential running mate. Under Delaware law, Biden could run simultaneously for both his Senate seat and for vice president, which he decided to do.

The statewide party primary elections were held September 9, 2008. O'Donnell was uncontested in the Republican primary, as was Biden in the Democratic primary.

O'Donnell tried to make an issue of Biden's dual campaigns, claiming that serving his constituents was not important to him, and criticized his unwillingness to participate in debates and candidate forums. Nevertheless, she was heavily outspent by Biden and her campaign failed to gain traction. Her campaign ended with $23,000 in debt.

Minutes after the polls closed on November 4, NBC called the race for Biden, with other news organizations soon following.

The Baptist Retirement Home is a historic retirement home at 316 Randolph Street in Maywood, Illinois. The home was built in 1930 for the Baptist Old People's Home organization, which was founded in Maywood in 1906; the large-scale building replaced its original, smaller facilities. At the time, retirement care was shifting from family-centered to institutional practices, and the elderly began to choose retirement home living instead of being forced there by a lack of family or money. When it opened, the facility was racially segregated and only admitted white residents; it also restricted membership to members of the Baptist faith who were over seventy years old. Architect Elmer C. Roberts designed the Tudor Revival building, which features half-timbering on its upper stories, towers enclosing its stairwells, and projecting bays topped by crenellated parapets. Additions were placed on the building in 1955 and 1965 to expand its capacity.

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places on October 26, 2017.

Outside agitator is a term that has been used to discount political unrest as being driven by outsiders, rather than by internal discontent. The term was popularized during the early stages of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States, when Southern authorities discounted African-American protests as being driven by Northern white radicals, rather than being legitimate expressions of grievances. 

The term gained further prominence during the George Floyd protests, with local officials in Minneapolis claiming that most protesters were not from the city, despite jail records and social media indicating otherwise. The term was also used during the Ferguson unrest in 2014.

is a 2008 Japanese comedy film written and directed by Yosuke Fujita. It is about two friends who are about to turn 30 and who fall in love with the same girl.

Plot
It pictures various people who are weak in terms of social adaptability comparatively in the comical by the warm look.

Teruo Tooyama ( Yoshiyoshi Arakawa ), 29 years old, is working as a non-regular worker in landscape gardening, while living with his father who runs a secondhand bookstore.
During his time off, he enjoys making mechanisms to scare and surprise other people with his friend Hisanobu Komori ( Yoshinori Okada ) who is an office worker.
But Komori feels a little impatient, becoming 29 years old.

In some case, Teruo's father ( Keizo Kanie ) comes to develop depression, and Teruo now runs the secondhand bookstore instead of his father.
To recover, his father, who was asleep for a while, went out to travel and roam.

Akari Kinoshita ( Yoshino Kimura ) is a mysterious woman who is interested in the homeless woman artist who lives on the shore of the river. She paints pictures, observing the homeless woman as her hobby.
She comes to interview at a company which is responsible for cleaning medical care environments, which is where Komori works. Komori, who conducted the interview by chance, employs her.

Akari is troubled by learning to work because her fingers are clumsy.
In one case, she is asked to push the elevator switch for the luggage, but she broke a bone in her forefinger due to impatience.
Moreover, while cleaning the floor of an operating room, on the blood, she has been slimy and has laid the medical instrument.
Therefore, she quit her job after consulting her boss.
Komori is so anxious for Akari that he calls on her at her apartment and suggests that she work at Teruo's secondhand bookstore.

Teruo grows to like Akari for helping him at the store and develops a love for her. 
Komori's love for Akari also grows stronger at the same time.

One day, an antique restoration craftsman named Yuhara ( Naoki Tanaka ) visits the secondhand bookstore.
He saw a painting in the store. He asked Akari if he could buy the painting, liking the picture which Akari had painted, but she refused his request as it was not for sale.
But she runs after Yuhara, holding the painting, feeling anxious about his words. She then sells the painting to Yuhara.
This thing becomes a chance and Akari and Yuhara come to associate.

Akari moves to the old city of Nara with Yuhara, who will learn restoration techniques for Buddhist statues.
Teruo and Komori go to Nara to visit Akari and Yuhara and they spend delightful days together.

Evelyn Baghtcheban (variations: Evlin Baghcheban, Baqcheban, Bahceban, born as Evlin Örge) (, 1928 – October 31, 2010) was a Turkish-Persian opera singer (mezzo-soprano) and one of the soloists and co founder of Tehran Opera House at Rudaki Hall, and founded the Tehran Choral Group and Farah Choir. She also taught singing at the Tehran Conservatory of Music, where her pupils included Hossein Sarshar, Pari Zanganeh, and Sudabeh Tajbakhsh.

In 1967 Evlin Baghcheban founded the Tehran Choral Group. Choral music of the coronation ceremony of Mohammad-Reza Shah was performed by this group, conducted by Evlin Baghcheban at Golestan Palace. 
In 1973, Farah Pahlavi Charity Foundation commissioned Evlin Baghcheban to establish a conservatory of music in Tehran for orphan children. In this school, Baghcheban organized a choral group called the Farah Choir. This choir recorded two albums in Vienna, Austria in 1978: "Rainbow" (compositions for children by Samin Baghchenan) and "Choral Music from Persia" (folk songs arranged by Rubik Gregorian and Samin Baghcheban).

Tribute
On the 10th occasion of Evlin Baghcheban's death, her son, Kaveh, published a book entitled "The Days Tehran had Opera" containing old photos, historical documents and concert programmes of his mother with a CD of rare recording at Tehran Opera House in the 1960s.

Early life
Evlin Baghtcheban was born in Mersin, Turkey to a French mother and a Assyrian-Lebanese father. In 1950 she was married to the Iranian composer Samin Baghtcheban whom she met when they were both students at the Ankara State Conservatory. Shortly after the 1979 Islamic Revolution Baghcheban moved to Istanbul. She is survived by three sons Rouin, Kaveh and Farhang.

The lesser yellownape (Picus chlorolophus) is a type of woodpecker which is a widespread and often common breeder in tropical and sub-tropical Asia, primarily the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.  It ranges from India, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka eastwards to Thailand, Burma, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam. Much of the scientific knowledge gathered about this species is sourced from formal studies in various parts of India.

Ecology
This is a jungle species which nests in a tree hole, laying two to four white eggs. Like other woodpeckers, this species has a straight pointed bill, a stiff tail to provide support against tree trunks, and zygodactyl or “yoked" feet, with two toes pointing forward, and two backward. The long tongue can be darted forward to capture insects.

Description
The lesser yellownape is a largish species at 27 cm in length. It has a typical woodpecker shape. The upperparts are green apart from the bright yellow tufted nape. The neck and breast are green and the belly is whitish, finely barred with green. The rump and tail are blackish.

The adult male lesser yellownape has a green head with a white throat. He has red markings above the eye and above the nape, and red moustachial stripes. Females have only a red patch above the ear coverts. Young birds are like the female, but duller. The subspecies occurring in peninsular India has a greyer head.

Subspecies
Three subspecies are known. 
chloropus - Himalayan 
chlorigaster - Peninsular 
wellsi - Sri Lanka.
