The İzmir mayoral elections of 2014 were held on 30 March 2014 as part of the nationwide local elections held on the same day. Mayors for the metropolitan municipality of İzmir and 30 other district municipalities throughout the İzmir Province were elected during the election, as well as municipal councillors for each district. The incumbent Aziz Kocaoğlu from the Republican People's Party (CHP) was re-elected as the metropolitan mayor of İzmir with 49.6% of the vote. The governing Justice and Development Party (AKP) embarked on a particularly strong campaign, since İzmir was widely seen as the most significant stronghold of the opposition throughout the country. An AKP gain in İzmir would thus be significant due to the impact it would have on the opposition. Although the AKP was unable to win the metropolitan municipality, they won numerous other municipalities mostly in the south of the province, capitalising on their policy of extending the İZBAN commuter rail service to them. The Nationalist Movement Party also took two municipalities despite controlling none previously. Overall, the CHP won 23 of the 31 mayoral positions up for election, the AKP won 6 and the MHP won 2. Large-scale electoral fraud was reported during the counting process in İzmir, with the province being one of several provinces suffering from controversial electricity cuts on the eve of polling day. | Event | SocietalEvent | Election |

Paul Stewart Robinson is a fictional character from the Australian television soap opera Neighbours, a long-running serial drama about social life in the fictional Melbourne suburb of Erinsborough. He is played by Stefan Dennis. Paul was created by producer Reg Watson as one of Neighbours' original characters. He debuted in the first episode of the show broadcast on 18 March 1985 and is currently the sole remaining original cast member. Paul appeared on a regular basis until 1992 when Dennis quit Neighbours to pursue work elsewhere. He agreed to reprise the role for a guest appearance in 1993. Dennis returned to the show full-time in 2004 and has since remained in the role. Dennis views his decision to leave Neighbours as a mistake. Early character development during 1980s episodes changed Paul into a powerful, arrogant and sometimes villainous business man. Paul has an evil persona which has long been admired by Dennis for the entertainment value it creates. But in 2007 Paul's evil ways were mellowed through a brain tumour story which brought the character inline with producer's vision of reinventing the show. The character has been used to play various stories ranging from money laundering, a leg amputation to being held hostage and incarceration for crimes. He is often portrayed concocting scams against fellow characters. As a prominent character Neighbours writers designed their 6000th episode around Paul. The story was dubbed \"Who Pushed P.R.?\" and Paul was pushed from a mezzanine by an unseen assailant. The character's attack created a long-running whodunit mystery. Paul has had five marriages and countless affairs, which has gained him notoriety as a womaniser. Paul's evil character and womanising have been well received by critics of the genre who were entertained. The actor has garnered various award nominations for his portrayal of Paul. | Agent | FictionalCharacter | SoapCharacter |

Strange Little Girls is a concept album released by singer-songwriter Tori Amos in 2001. The album's 12 tracks are covers of songs written and originally performed by men, reinterpreted by Amos from a female's point of view. Amos created female personae for each track (one song featured twins) and was photographed as each, with makeup done by Kevyn Aucoin. In the United States the album was issued with four alternative covers depicting Amos as the characters singing \"Happiness Is a Warm Gun\", \"Strange Little Girl\", \"Time,\" and \"Raining Blood\". A fifth cover of the \"I Don't Like Mondays\" character was also issued in the UK and other territories. Text accompanying the photos and songs was written by novelist Neil Gaiman. The complete short stories in which this text appears can be found in Gaiman's 2006 collection Fragile Things. As with Amos's previous two studio albums, the cover album was recorded at her Cornwall studio. The album received mixed reviews upon its release in September 2001 with critics largely seeing the album as a mixed bag, praising the unlikely re-workings of Eminem's \"'97 Bonnie and Clyde\" and Slayer's \"Raining Blood\", while panning the versions of The Beatles' \"Happiness Is a Warm Gun\" and Neil Young's \"Heart of Gold\". Amos also tackled songs by artists such as Tom Waits, The Velvet Underground, Depeche Mode, and The Stranglers. The album's greatest attention was garnered from Amos' cover of Eminem's \"'97 Bonnie and Clyde\", a rap song. The album's cover of \"Happiness Is a Warm Gun\" was translated into a discussion on the right to bear arms, and included sound bites from both George W. Bush and George H. W. Bush, as well as from Amos' own minister father. The album entered the charts at US #4, selling 111,000 copies, making it her third album to debut in the US Top 10, her second-highest debut in terms of sales, and her best position in the US for almost six years. A planned commercial single, \"Strange Little Girl\" (The Stranglers), including \"After All\" (David Bowie) and \"Only Women Bleed\" (originally by Alice Cooper), was pulled from shelves soon after being shipped to stores in Europe. Despite being recalled from the shelves, limited copies of the single were sold and a promotional video was made. Additionally, Amos later acknowledged that she had attempted to reinterpret four other songs that she \"couldn't find her way into.\" They were \"Fear of a Black Planet\" by Public Enemy, \"Hoover Factory\" by Elvis Costello, \"I'm Sick of You\" by Iggy Pop and \"Marlene Dietrich's Favorite Poem\" by Peter Murphy. These tracks have not been released. Amos received two 2002 Grammy nominations: Female Rock Vocal Performance for \"Strange Little Girl\", and Alternative Music Performance for the album. | Work | MusicalWork | Album |

WHLY is a Regional Mexican radio station in South Bend, Indiana, broadcasting at 1580 on the AM dial. On May 1, 2013, WHLY adopted its current Regional Mexican format as La Raza 1580 AM. It had previously aired a Catholic format, from December 8, 2006 until May 1, 2013, and was operated by the St. Thomas More Foundation of Elkhart, Indiana, broadcasting EWTN Radio programming. The station is currently operated by Ignacio Zepeda, who also owns WKAM 1460 AM in Goshen, and an outright sale of the station to Zepeda's IB Communications, Ltd. is pending. The station began broadcasting on December 22, 1947 as WJVA 1580 as a 250 watt daytime-only station. Studio and transmitter were on Hickory Road in Mishawaka, IN. It has used several different call signs since the early 1980s, including WAMJ and WIWO. The WHLY calls were first used at AM 1580 in 1994 as \"Radio Hollywood,\" using Westwood One's Adult Standards nostalgia-based music format. 1580 AM was owned by Times Communications but from 1999 to 2006 was operated by Artistic Media Partners under an LMA. WHLY gained a sister station in November 1998 when 1620 AM WJVA signed on. A simulcast of AM 1580 at first, AM 1620 picked up the \"Radio Hollywood\" standards format and WHLY calls on a permanent basis after a few months, while the WJVA calls moved to AM 1580, which flipped to classic country, in February 1999. The country format ended in March 2001 and 1580 and 1620 once again began to simulcast, setting in motion a complicated series of call letter and format changes that would continue over the next five years: \n* AM 1580 regained the WHLY calls in November 2001 (continuing with the Standards format) while AM 1620 became WDND, broadcasting ESPN Radio. \n* The WDND calls and ESPN Radio format moved to 1580 in March 2004 as the WHLY calls and standards format moved back to 1620, which eventually switched from Westwood One's Adult Standards to ABC Radio's Timeless Classics. \n* Then in 2006, AM 1620 flipped from standards to soft AC \"Love Songs 1620\" as WWLV; the WHLY calls once again moved to 1580 AM, while the WDND calls and ESPN Radio moved to their current home at 1490 AM (the former WNDV-AM). WHLY 1580 went silent for a short time and then returned to the air with a mix of adult standards, oldies, and classic country. In 2006, Times Communications' LMA with Artistic Media Partners expired, and Times leased WHLY to St. Thomas More Foundation, who debuted the current format. Former sister station AM 1620 is now WDND. WHLY is also the former call sign of the radio station at 106.7 FM in the Orlando, Florida market, now known (since 1990) as WXXL. | Agent | Broadcaster | RadioStation |

(Main article: Air warfare of World War II) Strategic bombing during World War II was the sustained aerial attack on railways, harbours, cities, workers' housing, and industrial districts in enemy territory during World War II. Strategic bombing is a military strategy which is distinct from both close air support of ground forces and tactical air power. During World War II, it was believed by many military strategists of air power that major victories could be won by attacking industrial and political infrastructure, rather than purely military targets. Strategic bombing often involved bombing areas inhabited by civilians and sometimes bombing campaigns were deliberately designed to target civilian populations in order to terrorize, disorganize, and disrupt their usual activities. International law at the outset of World War II did not specifically forbid aerial bombardment of cities despite the prior occurrence of such bombing during World War I, the Spanish Civil War, and the Second Sino-Japanese War. Strategic bombing during World War II began on 1 September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and the Luftwaffe (German Air Force) began bombing cities and the civilian population in Poland in an indiscriminate aerial bombardment campaign. As the war continued to expand, bombing by both the Axis and the Allies increased significantly. In September 1940, the Luftwaffe began targeting British cities in 'The Blitz'. From 1942 onward, the British bombing campaign against Germany became less restrictive and increasingly targeted industrial sites and eventually, civilian areas. When the United States began flying bombing missions against Germany, it reinforced these efforts and controversial firebombings were carried out against Hamburg (1943), Dresden (1945), and other German cities. In the Pacific War, the Japanese bombed civilian populations throughout the war (e.g. in Chongqing). The US air raids on Japan began in earnest in October 1944 and by March 1945 had started their escalation into widespread firebombing, which culminated in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 and 9 August 1945, respectively. The effect of strategic bombing was highly debated during and after the war. Both the Luftwaffe and RAF failed to deliver a knockout blow by destroying enemy morale. However some argued that strategic bombing of military targets could significantly reduce enemy industrial capacity and production and in the opinion of its interwar period proponents, the surrender of Japan vindicated strategic bombing. | Event | SocietalEvent | MilitaryConflict |

Lyrically, the song addresses the theme of reinvention, with Minogue claiming that she has changed as a person and learned from the past. Upon its release, \"Spinning Around\" received favourable reviews from music critics, who singled it out as one of the highlights from the album and praised Minogue for returning to her signature musical style. Commercially, the song was a success and became Minogue's \"comeback\" single following the critical and commercial disappointment of her sixth studio album Impossible Princess (1997). It entered the Australian Singles Chart at number one, becoming the singer's first chart-topper since \"Confide in Me\" (1994). The song also debuted at number one in the United Kingdom, where it became her first single to peak atop the chart since \"Tears on My Pillow\" in 1990. Elsewhere, it reached the top five in Ireland and New Zealand. \"Spinning Around\" was certified platinum and silver in Australia and the United Kingdom, respectively. The accompanying music video for \"Spinning Around\" was directed by Dawn Shadforth, and features Minogue dancing and enjoying herself in a disco. It became popular for the gold hotpants she sported in most of the scenes and led to her bottom gaining extensive coverage from the media. The hotpants are considered to be \"iconic\" and have been displayed in exhibitions of Minogue's fashion. \"Spinning Around\" has been performed by Minogue during all of her concert tours, with the exception of the Anti Tour. | Work | MusicalWork | Single |
