# Damien Smith (politician)

Damien Francis Smith is a former New Zealand politician. He was a Member of Parliament for ACT New Zealand from 2020 until 2023.

## Early life and career

Smith was born in Northern Ireland and grew up in Enniskillen during The Troubles. His parents were Frank and Agnes; he is one of four siblings.
His early career was in corporate sales in the fast-moving consumer goods industry, in banking, and in governance and advisory. He came to New Zealand in 2002. He previously worked for Virgin Group and ASB Bank, and runs his own consulting business.
He lives in Auckland and has one daughter.

## Political career

During the 2020 New Zealand general election, first-time candidate Smith contested the Botany electorate for the ACT Party, where he came third. He had been placed at 11 on the initial ACT Party list but was moved up to 10 after ninth-ranked Stephen Berry withdrew three months before the election. ACT received sufficient support for 10 of its members to be elected to Parliament, including Smith.
Smith was ACT's spokesperson for land information, commerce and consumer affairs, state owned enterprises, revenue, racing, arts, culture and heritage, and sport and recreation, and associate spokesperson for finance. He was also a member of the Finance and Expenditure Committee.
In his maiden speech, Smith described his political views as liberal and centre-right. He called for increased productivity, quoting quoted American economists Paul Krugman (from The Age of Diminished Expectations) and Murray Rothbard. He also called on the government to reduce its spending and debt, and for more houses to be built. In later speeches, he became outspoken on foreign direct investment; he considered increased foreign direct investment would support a more productive and competitive New Zealand economy and, in July 2022, described New Zealand as "like North Korea but without the nukes" in respect of its foreign investment laws.
Smith proposed legislation to exempt investors from OECD countries from the need to receive Overseas Investment Office approval to invest in New Zealand, except in respect of investments in residential land. The Overseas Investment (Exempt Investment from OECD Countries) Amendment Bill, a private member's bill in Smith's name, was introduced into Parliament in August 2021. Its first reading failed 43–77 on 21 September 2023.
Smith did not stand for re-election in the 2023 election. He did not give a reason for not seeking to stand again. His expected valedictory statement was cancelled due to illness and his final parliamentary speech was in opposition to the government's Fair News Digital Bargaining Bill. In that final speech, he defined his political views as "anarcho-capitalist" and promoted self-regulation of the media industry in a free market.

# Turkophilia

Turkophilia (Turkish: Türksever) is the feeling or expression of interest in, respect for, and appreciation of Turks on the part of a non-Turk. More specifically, a Turkophile is someone who has a strongly positive predisposition or sympathy towards Turkey and the Turkish people, with an admiration for their language and literature, culture (art, music, cuisine, etc.), history, or government. The phenomenon may also include a broader appreciation of the Turkic peoples, of whom the Turkish people are a part. The opposite sentiment is known as Turkophobia.

## Early modern period

In Western discourse, the term "Turcophile" is often linked to the cultural phenomenon of Turquerie, reflecting the broader European admiration for the customs, aesthetics, and splendor of the Ottoman Empire in the 17th and 18th centuries. Although these concepts have distinct historical foundations, they both reflect the influence and presence of Turkish culture, traditions, and artistic heritage within the European context.

## Notable Turkophiles

* Marmaduke Pickthall, English novelist and Islamic scholar
* Rowland Allanson-Winn, 5th Baron Headley, Irish peer
* Jean-Étienne Liotard, Swiss painter, art connoisseur and dealer
* David Urquhart, Scottish diplomat, writer and politician
* Ármin Vámbéry, Hungarian Turkologist and traveller
* Ernst Jäckh, German author
* Pierre Loti, French naval officer and novelist

After the preceding book, Dress Her in Indigo, which was largely set in Mexico, The Long Lavender Look not only returns to McGee's usual haunt of Florida, but is almost entirely set in one tiny town deep in the rural part of the state.
The plot begins when McGee and Meyer are driving late at night down a deserted Florida highway, when a young woman, barefoot and clad only in a nightgown, dashes across the road just in front of the car. McGee swerves and just barely misses her, but his car is thrown into ten feet of swamp water. Soon after and to their surprise, McGee and Meyer find themselves arrested, and McGee charged with murder.
# Francis R. Tillou

Francis Redding Tillou (c. 1795 – July 10, 1865) was an American lawyer and politician from New York, and co-founder of the Children's Village.

## Early life

Tillou was born c. 1795. His family was said to have been descended from Pierre Tillou, a Huguenot who fled Saint-Nazaire, France in 1681.

## Career

In August 1835, the Federal Land Office at Green Bay put up for sale the area which would become Madison, Wisconsin, and on October 7, 1835, Tillou bought the first 100 acres.
Tillou lived at a country estate which he named "Tillietudlem", in a place then known as Pleasant Valley in Hackensack Township, Bergen County, New Jersey. The house stood where now the Edgewater Public Library is located, at the corner of Undercliff and Hudson Ave. in Edgewater, New Jersey.
On March 1, 1849, Tillou was granted the right to run a ferry-boat service from his estate's landing on the Hudson River to New York City. The landing was located approximately at the place of the present-day Edgewater Marina and Ferry Stop. He ran a law practice with Francis B. Cutting (1804–1870), known as Tillou & Cutting.

### Public service

In November 1851, Tillou was elected on the Democratic ticket Recorder of New York City, and remained in office from 1852 until the end of 1854, serving under Mayors, Ambrose C. Kingsland and Jacob A. Westervelt. In November 1854, Tillou was nominated on the Municipal Reform and the Temperance tickets for re-election, but was defeated by James M. Smith, Jr. who had been nominated jointly by Hard and Soft Democrats, while most other offices were won by the Whigs, defeating the split Democrats.
In November 1861, Tillou ran on the Union ticket (a fusion of Republicans and War Democrats) for the New York State Senate (4th D.) but was defeated by Democrat Christian B. Woodruff.

## Personal life

On February 15, 1822, he married Caroline M. "Cara" Drake (c. 1793). His wife was a sister of Joseph Rodman Drake (1795-1820), the poet, and Louisa Hannah Drake (a sister of Caroline and Joseph Rodman Drake), who was married to Thomas Clark Nicholls. Louis and Thomas were the parents of Francis Redding Tillou Nicholls, the Governor of Louisiana who was named after his uncle-by-marriage. Fitz-Greene Halleck, an usher at their wedding, wrote "A Valentine" for her on the eve of their wedding, which was later printed in 1872. Together, they were the parents of:

* Edward Tillou (d. 1915)

# Paul Edmondson

Paul Michael Edmondson (February 12, 1943 – February 13, 1970) was an American Major League Baseball (MLB) pitcher. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, the right-hander was drafted by the Chicago White Sox out of California State University, Northridge in the 21st round (419th overall) of the first-ever MLB amateur entry draft in June, 1965. In his major league debut on June 20, 1969, Edmondson pitched a complete game two-hitter in a 9–1 White Sox victory over the California Angels.
Edmondson started thirteen of the fourteen games he appeared in during his MLB career. He had the second-best earned run average (3.70) of any of the six White Sox pitchers who started ten or more games during the 1969 season.
Some of Paul Edmondson's efforts in 1969:
* 9 innings, 0 earned runs vs. Oakland—NO DECISION (September 13)
* 9⅓ innings, 1 earned run vs. California—NO DECISION (September 6)
* 8 innings, 1 earned run vs. Kansas City—NO DECISION (September 25)

They had traveled from Simi to San Luis Obispo where Lauraine would be attending Cal Poly the following semester. The tragedy occurred only two weeks prior to spring training, and the White Sox had hoped that Edmondson would become the fourth starter in the rotation.

# 2022 Michigan Proposal 1

"none" is preferred when the title is already sufficiently detailed; see [[WP:SDNONE]]
2022 Michigan Proposal 1, the Legislative Term Limits and Financial Disclosure Amendment, is a legislatively-referred proposed constitutional amendment in the state of Michigan, which was voted on as part of the 2022 Michigan elections. The amendment modifies term limits in the Michigan state legislature and increase financial disclosure requirements for various elected officials. The amendment passed by a wide margin.

## Background

An effort to get a similar proposal on the ballot was initially backed by a bipartisan group which included politicians such as Democratic Detroit mayor Mike Duggan and Republican former Speaker of the Michigan House of Representatives Jase Bolger. On May 10, 2022, the Michigan Legislature voted to place a modified version of that proposal on the ballot, which allowed the group to forgo the signature gathering required for citizen-initiated constitutional amendments in the state.

## Contents

The proposal appeared on the ballot as follows:
   A proposal to amend the state constitution to require annual public financial disclosure reports by legislators and other state officers and change state legislator term limit to 12 total years in legislature
   This proposed constitutional amendment would:
   * Require members of legislature, governor, lieutenant governor, secretary of state, and attorney general file annual public financial disclosure reports after 2023, including assets, liabilities, income sources, future employment agreements, gifts, travel reimbursements, and positions held in organizations except religious, social, and political organizations.
   * Require legislature implement but not limit or restrict reporting requirements.
   * Replace current term limits for state representatives and state senators with a 12-year total limit in any combination between house and senate, except a person elected to senate in 2022 may be elected the number of times allowed when that person became a candidate.
   Should this proposal be adopted?

## Results

Proposal 1 was approved with 66.45% of the vote.
Proposal 1 :
| Choice | Votes | % |
| Yes | 2,838,540 | 66.45 |
| No | 1,433,154 | 33.55 |
| Total votes | 4,271,694 | 100.00 |
Legislation enacting the financial disclosure provisions of the approved ballot proposal were signed into law on December 8, 2023.
