pWotD Episode 2753: Matt Gaetz Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 1,217,564 views on Thursday, 14 November 2024 our article of the day is Matt Gaetz.Matthew Louis Gaetz II ( GAYTS; born May 7, 1982) is an American politician who served as the U. S. representative for Florida's 1st congressional district from 2017, until his resignation in November 2024. His district included all of Escambia, Okaloosa, and Santa Rosa counties, and portions of Walton County. A member of the Republican Party, he is widely regarded as a staunch proponent of far-right politics as well as an ally of president-elect Donald Trump. The son of prominent Florida politician Don Gaetz and grandson of North Dakota politician Jerry Gaetz, Gaetz was raised in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. After graduating from the William & Mary Law School in Williamsburg, Virginia, he briefly worked in private practice before running for state representative. He served in the Florida House of Representatives from 2010 until 2016, and received national attention for defending Florida's "stand-your-ground law". In 2016, he was elected to the U. S. House of Representatives, and was re-elected in 2018, 2020, 2022, and 2024. In 2020, Matt Gaetz was accused of child sex trafficking and statutory rape. Following an investigation, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) decided not to pursue charges against him. Prior to his resignation as representative, Gaetz was also under ethics investigation by the House Ethics Committee for allegations of underage sexual abuse, illegal drug use, sharing inappropriate images and videos on the House floor, misusing state identification records, converting campaign funds for personal use, and accepting impermissible gifts. Gaetz has denied all of the allegations. In October 2023, Gaetz filed a motion to vacate the position of Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, resulting in the removal of Kevin McCarthy from his role as Speaker. Gaetz's actions in leading the motion were part of broader tensions within the Republican Party, with many members critical of McCarthy's leadership and handling of various legislative matters. Gaetz has endorsed the Great Replacement theory. In 2021, he called the Anti-Defamation League a "racist organization" after it condemned Tucker Carlson's promotion of Great Replacement theory. Gaetz said that Carlson "is correct about Replacement Theory as he explains what is happening to America". On November 13, 2024, president-elect Donald Trump announced he would nominate Gaetz to serve as United States attorney general. Gaetz resigned from the U. S. House of Representatives shortly after the announcement. His nomination led to surprise, alarm, and negative reception from some Senate Republicans.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:36 UTC on Friday, 15 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Matt Gaetz on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Ivy.

Worldwide there are more than 35 million refugees who have fled their homes. And when other countries take in a huge influx of those refugees, there's a lot to consider. Erika Frydenlund studies how host countries can help manage a refugee surge. And: In March 2023, the William & Mary Law School's Immigration Clinic had their very first approval of an asylum case–a client from Afghanistan, who fled when Kabul fell. Stacy Kern-Scheerer shares what it's like navigating the complicated asylum system. Later in the show: The war in Ukraine created the largest refugee crisis since World War II. Patrick Rhamey says that Poland has taken in the most refugees–and actually done a good job of welcoming and resettling them. Plus: In the U.S., mainstream media has given the Ukrainian refugee crisis a lot of coverage. Nearly every day brings new headlines about it. On the other hand, the tens of millions of people making up Africa's refugee crises are largely overlooked. Soji Akomolafe speaks to what's causing so much movement in Africa and why Western countries aren't paying enough attention.

Fred I. Lederer, Director of the Center for Legal & Court Technology (CLCT) and Daniel Shin, Cybersecurity Researcher for CLCT join Steve Wood, Ph.D. to discuss the topic of deepfakes in litigation. Fred and Daniel provide the background and history of CLCT and how the center has expanded its focus to new and emerging technologies including machine learning and AI. Daniel defines what a deepfake is, how deepfake technology is being used and applied, and the group discuss the implications of deepfakes on litigation. Fred brings up the impact on admissibility of evidence as well as the larger concern of the triers of fact not believing whether any digital, video, photographic, or physical evidence is real. Daniel shares how some companies have been creating technology to authenticate digital content to aid in dealing with deepfakes, though this technology is still in its infancy at this time so education on what is happening with deepfake technology is key in the legal space. Lastly, Fred and Daniel share details about the courtroom at William & Mary Law School, which is considered to be the most technologically advanced courtroom in the country.

They explore how to find the coping mechanisms for yourself and realize it's ok to reach out when you need help. This is another great podcast that everyone can benefit from. A little more about Phil and Christine:Phil joined the Seamen's Church Institute as Director of Mariner Advocacy in November 2020, following a 30-year career in the United States Coast Guard. His career included serving as Staff Judge Advocate (senior legal counsel) for Coast Guard District 8 and, prior to that, Captain of the Port of New Orleans, as well as a member of the United States delegation to the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Phil is a graduate of the United States Coast Guard Academy, the College of William & Mary Law School, and the Eisenhower School for National Security and Resource Strategy.

A native Texan, she earned her BA and MS degrees from Baylor University and her MDiv degree from the Episcopal Theological Seminary of the Southwest. Christine shared with others before that despite having done years of work with military personnel and first responders, the maritime world felt unfamiliar toher before stepping into the SCI Chaplain role. Her goal is to tell as many people as she can about this organization. She shares that mariners are just as much a part of this country's past as they are its future. Christine feels that not only do we need them, but we also need to care for them. She is grateful to be on the SCI care team.Have a Listen & SubscribeThe Women Offshore Podcast can also be found on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, and most podcast apps.

In this special episode, hosts April Abele Isaacson and Kate Geyer are joined by Kasey Koballa, an Associate from the Kilpatrick Townsend Raleigh office. Kasey's practice focuses on patent litigation in federal courts and before the ITC in matters relating to a wide variety of industries, including video games and footwear and sport apparel. In 2015, Kasey received a BS in Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering with a minor in Biotechnology from North Carolina State University, where she graduated summa cum laude, was the valedictorian of her class, and received the Top 10 Scholar Athlete Award for her achievements in soccer. In 2018, she received her law degree from William & Mary Law School with an Intellectual Property Concentration.With three very different backgrounds and life journeys, April, Kate, and Kasey discuss the issue of burnout in the legal profession, and particularly in the hard-charging, high-stakes world of patent litigation. They share their first-hand experiences and their earned wisdom about building resilience and thriving in such a pressure-filled environment. In this important conversation, April, Kate, and Kasey use compassion and humor to tackle a serious problem that continues to claim many promising legal careers far too early. They also provide a glimpse into what it takes to work at the highest levels of patent litigation while keeping burnout at bay.Highlights include:Broadening career options Definition of burnout Why attorneys are particularly susceptible to burnout The struggle to say “no” Why women are more likely to suffer burnout than men“I'll sleep when I'm dead” The signs of reaching your limit Navigating the post-COVID hybrid work environment for greater productivity and better work-life balance The critical importance of recognizing early signs of burnoutRecruiting your support systemTiny recharging breaks can make a huge difference Rethinking proactive management of work assignments to reduce overworkLaw-firm mentors as a first line of defense against burnoutSurprising reasons why burnout is a major threat to talent retention The availability and value of external resources like employee assistance programsDestigmatizing the use of therapy and other mental health support Recognizing that blocking off time for self-care is not an indulgence but a tool to becoming a better lawyerThanks for listening to Sidebars!
