The President of Shannon Chamber has accused politicial representatives of "putting up obstacles" to renewable energy progress. With confirmation being given in the Dáil that sites for offshore wind development off Clare's coast will be zoned next year, key stakeholders are expressing frustration with the pace at which progress is being made. Launched last June, the Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce report identifies harvesting 30 gigawatts on Atlantic wind energy by 2050 as one of its primary goals. This, it's stated, would satisfy Ireland's current electricity demand five times over, while the process would create an estimated 10,000 green jobs in this region by 2035. Responding to Inagh Green Party Senator Róisín Garvey in the Dáil, Green Party Minister of State for the Environment Ossian Smyth has confirmed that a map to zone areas off Clare's coast for offshore wind projects, known as a Designated Maritime Area Plan, or DMAP, will begin next year. The ESB has been granted planning permission to convert Moneypoint Power Station from a coal-fired to a heavy fuel oil facility prior to its transition to a renewable energy hub. Chairperson of the Shannon Estuary Economic Taskforce Barry O'Sullivan says what this region needs is strong political representation from those who are committed to getting renewable energy projects over the line. The confirmation that the DMAP for the West Coast will commence in 2025 has come in the same week than An Bórd Pleanála has stated it no longer stands over its previous decision to uphold the grant of planning permission for a data centre in Ennis. Plans for the data centre have been shrouded in controversy since they were first lodged with Clare County Council in 2021, with 60 submissions made in objection. Shannon Chamber President Eoin Gavin insists politicians should be finding solutions instead of simply expressing their opposition to proposed developments.

Mississippi is presently known for being an extremely high deer density state. In fact, it has one of the highest deer densities in the entire United States. However, have you ever stopped to think if it has always been that way? You might be surprised to know that not too long ago, whitetail deer were almost completely wiped out of the state, and the sole reason they succeed today is because of very intentional conservation efforts. In this episode, we talk with MS deer program coordinator William McKinley about the history of deer here in Mississippi.  #DigDeep    Request a DMAP site visit here: https://www.mdwfp.com/dmap

GEORGIA RADIO - Georgia State Deer Biologist and Supervisor of the Georgia Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP), Charlie Killmaster, joined host Matt Jolley to delve into the benefits of DMAP for landowners and hunters. The discussion highlighted how DMAP, a program widely implemented across southeastern states, offers a scientifically grounded, flexible approach to deer management on private lands.Killmaster explained that DMAP provides a tailored solution to site-specific deer management issues by enabling data collection and analysis at the individual property level. This method allows for more nuanced management strategies that are responsive to the unique needs of each property, as opposed to a one-size-fits-all approach.One of the key advantages of DMAP, according to Killmaster, is its ability to balance simplified hunting regulations across large geographic areas while addressing the desires of hunters, such as reduced doe bag limits. This strategy ensures that properties with casual management practices are safeguarded against over-harvest, while those with more intensive management needs can benefit from science-based flexibility."DMAP offers landowners and hunters a valuable tool for managing deer populations effectively and sustainably," Killmaster told Jolley. "By tailoring management practices to specific properties, we can ensure healthier deer populations and better hunting experiences."Killmaster's appearance on GeorgiaRadio.com shed light on the critical role of DMAP in contemporary wildlife management, emphasizing its importance in promoting sustainable hunting and conservation practices across Georgia and beyond.QUICK LINK: https://georgiawildlife.com/DMAP#georgiadmap #deermanagement #wildlife #hunting #georgiadnr #georgiahunting #georgiawildlifeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/georgia-radio/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Renée Areng leads Brookhaven as the inaugural Executive Director for the Brookhaven Convention and Visitors Bureau, now Explore Brookhaven since 2018. Previously, Areng served with three destination marketing organizations: most recently, Visit Mississippi Gulf Coast. Throughout her leadership, Areng increased all metrics, including visitation and overall revenue for non-gaming hotels. Additionally, she unified all messaging in marketing and sales, increasing all digital and social metrics. Most recently, Areng consulted with Destination Organizations on strategic planning, accreditation, streamlining databases, and increasing visitation. Clients include Visit South Walton, Louisiana's Northshore, Tupelo CVB, Visit Mobile, Jeff Davis Chamber, and CVB, Louisiana's Cajun Bayou, and Pat Harrison Waterway District. Before joining the Mississippi Gulf Coast, she served as Executive Vice President for Visit Baton Rouge, and she served in statewide and national political arenas. Areng is a cum laude graduate of the University of Louisiana with a BA in Public Administration and French. She earned her Certified Destination Marketing Executive (CDME) designation from Destinations International in 2007 and served on the CDME review committee in 2018. She has led five organizations through six accreditations through Destinations International's DMAP program. On this Destination on the Left episode, I talk with Renee Areng about her experience building a destination marketing organization from the ground up. We discuss the key ingredients needed for the successful formation of her DMO located just outside the Atlanta Metro Area and how they proved instrumental in creating the right environment for the organization to thrive. What You Will Learn in this Episode: Why Renee was eager to join her current team in Brookhaven, Georgia What's so fascinating about working in a newly created destination The unique structure of tourism in Georgia and how Renee is helping her organization punch above its weight class to stand out among Georgia's 200 DMOs How the branding strategy helped Brookhaven stand out from closeby Atlanta Why it's so important that Brookhaven is considered a viable voice at the table The challenges of launching Explore Brookhaven during a global pandemic Why often the most challenging part of a collaboration is getting the egos out of the equation Some examples of when Renee has helped create some fantastic partnerships How to connect with Renee and discover more about Explore Brookhaven Taking Their Place at the Table Renee shares why she believes it is so important that Brookhaven is considered a viable voice at the table. She describes why it was critical for the brand new DMO to scale to where they are being taken as seriously as the more prominent destinations in Georgia, such as Macon, Savannah, and Atlanta. Renee also shares more about her role on the board for Destinations International and how it is helping Explore Brookhaven get the recognition they deserve. Evolving as a Destination Organization Did you know that Renee's breakout session at the Destination International Annual Convention in Toronto was one of the best attended at the event with standing room only? She shares why she is so passionate about understanding how destination organizations are evolving and why she was eager to get her teeth into the opportunity that taking the reins at Explore Brookhaven offered. Renee explains the topics discussed during that session and why being clear about your value proposition is critical. An Agile Industry I loved speaking with Renee about how the evolving workforce is going to change the existing workplace and why it's so necessary to recognize the need for change. The travel and tourism industry is more flexible now than it's ever been, and Renee shares why the sector is now much more focused on the influence they have in the community rather than the number of heads in beds.

In this week's episode of We Love Outdoors with Rich Davenport, your humble host wishes everyone a Happy Labor Day, and with this comes the unofficial end of summer, with the fall and the harvest just ahead. September marks the opener of NY squirrel season, a great activity to introduce youth to the sport of hunting, as the demands of silence, stillness, and scent-free efforts doesn't exist. September also means Resident Canada Goose season across NYS, with most waterfowl regions opening on Sept 1 through the 25th, with a 15 brid per day limit, with the exception of Lake Champlain area, where the limit is 8 birds per day. Long Island areas begin their resident goose season on Sept 7 through 30th. The new deer season regulations discussed during the special broadcasts on September 1, means that on Saturday 9/11 opens a special firearms season in specific WMUs for antlerless only deer, and in the archery only areas, the same special season exists, running through 9/19/2021. This is not a statewide season, and only valid DMP or DMAP tags may be used. That is the limiting factor, and no additional DMPs are set for this season. Statewide changes to deer season includes the change in hunting hours, with 30 minutes before sunrise and after sunset adding a full hour to each day. This should increase harvest across the board, as this is the prime times for deer movement. Also statewide is the regulation requiring hunters wear safety orange or pink, either a cap or vest, 250 sq inches, solid or patterned, while hunting big game with a firearm, or accompanying someone hunting big game with a firearm. This is to address safety concerns with the added time for the hunt, where light levels are changing. In other news, The Children in the Stream/ 4H Youth Fly Fishing program begins again on 9/7, and held each Tuesday from 7-8:30PM. Hosted at SUNY at Fredonia's campus, in the Costello Room of the Rockefeller Art Center. Open to children age 12 and up, including adults, but youth under age 12 may also participate when accompanied by an adult, this program is free, has no long term commitment needed, all materials are included and does include some field trips as well. Masks must be worn indoors during the classes. For more information, contact Alberto Rey, email alberto@albertorey.com, or call 716-410-7003. Erie County should be holding their vote on the youth hunting local law this Thursday. Passage and enactment will not happen in time for parents to take their 12 year olds afield in WMU 9F for the Sept. hunt, sadly. And National Hunting and Fishing Day is September 25 at Elma Conservation! Lyme disease exposure prevention is discussed with this new September season in play. EHD outbreak updates discussed, and state officials are monitoring for more detected cases. And the NYSCC has passed both resolutions that were considered during the August 28 convention. Finally, your humble host discusses the slow death of science, as ideology and agendas pervert the method that determines what is, into the fear of what if and consequences of inaction, which are wholly false. Science is the ultimate interrogator and questioning is the essence of science to discover what truly is. This is what is being killed, and we must push back for science's sake. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/rich-davenport/support

While overall representation of disabilities on TV is slowly but surely improving, many series still tend to depict characters with visible disabilities as the Tragic Victim or the Heroic Martyr -- but rarely are they depicted as people, with all the complexities that entails. We sat down with the writers and actors who are exploring the uncharted territory of the "messy middle," where characters with disabilities are just as flawed, funny, and despicable as anyone else. They also discuss how creatives can push beyond the fear of getting it “wrong” when it comes to disability representation, and what getting it “right” actually means.

Deer in the Great Smoky Mountains. Photo credit: Missy McGaw, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer and his pals may hold a special place in our hearts during the holidays, but what about big herds of deer descending on neighborhoods and eating everything in sight? WFDD listener Kate Brinko wonders what’s going on in Boone.  White-tailed deer in the Great Smoky Mountains. Photo credit: Missy McGaw, North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission. “We live on the mountain in the northwest corner of Boone, so we’re up against a lot of woods above and around us,” she says. “We have so many deer in the High Country here and beyond. Is there any program to limit their numbers to protect their health and safety?” Reporter David Ford set out for answers in this installment of Carolina Curious. First off, he wanted to know more about the conditions on the ground. “Year before last there would be herds of 8, 10, or 12 deer that would come passing through," says Brinko. "And they’re hungry and eat everything. We put in eight field-grown rhododendrons and the first week they were down to nubbins. I asked some friends to do some bow hunting and they went down along our property and said, ‘This is like Highway 95 over here,’ so many deer. But then this year, all we saw were a doe, her two fawns, and I did have a sighting of two yearling buck.” One thing that’s clear: North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission data for Watauga County show that there haven’t been too many deer at least in terms of the available habitat. In general, they’re not overrunning their surroundings. But District 7 Wildlife Biologist Jason Smith says people’s tolerance is another concern. Feeding patterns change year to year — often due to urban development. And when local deer populations do surge? “The best answer to that is actually hunting,” says Smith. “Because hunting is the best tool and program that we recommend and has a long-term solution. It helps to maintain herd health in the deer population and also reduce these human/wildlife conflicts.”  Smith says residents would have to change their local ordinances to allow for hunting there, but the Town of Boone can participate in the Commission’s urban archery season. And for neighborhoods like Kate Brinko’s on the outskirts, the Community Deer Management Assistance Program (DMAP) allows homeowners associations to request extra tags for hunters to use in designated areas. And for those residents who want to live in harmony with area deer populations but who also would like to keep their gardens and landscaping plants from being eaten every year? “Even in rural areas, deer are going to get into people’s gardens just because these plants are very palatable and generally preferred by the animals,” says Smith. “The best method for protecting them really that I’ve seen and have folks do is use electric fencing to fence off these garden areas. And we have information concerning the proper ways to fence off these areas on our website.”    Story does not include AP content #deer #boone #watauga county #population #doe #buck #garden #bow hunt Environment Normal Tweet

Hunting is a long-established tradition woven into the fabric of Wisconsin's culture. As hunters new and old make their way into the woods this November, we wanted to know what makes this season so special in Wisconsin. In this episode, we hear from Carissa Freeh, a wildlife biologist for Pheasants Forever in central Wisconsin. Hunting since 2014, she shares advice for anyone interested in trying it but not sure where to start. Also joining the podcast is lifelong hunter Jim Wipperfurth, a retired DNR wildlife technician, hunter's safety instructor, and mentor for the DNR's Learn To Hunt classes. Hunting since his father first took him out in the '70s, Jim shares his love for the hunt.   Whether it's your first deer season or your 50th, there's something exciting about heading out to your treestand on a cool, crisp November morning. Listen in as these guests talk about their favorite time of year – Wisconsin deer season. Find more information on deer hunting in Wisconsin at dnr.wi.gov/adventure/deer  --------------------------------------TRANSCRIPTANNOUNCER: [00:00:00] Welcome to Wisconsin DNR's Wild Wisconsin "Off the Record" podcast. Information straight from the source.KATIE: [00:00:13] Welcome back to another episode of Wild Wisconsin, Off the Record. I'm your host, DNR's Digital Communication Section Chief Katie Grant. This year, many of Wisconsin's residents have found themselves connecting with our natural resources more than ever before. Many of our state parks had lines of people waiting to get in this summer.Overall the park saw 15% more visitors in 2020 than in 2019, and fishing license sales were up 21%.As the leaves start to crunch and the mercury drops we're seeing another interesting trend. As of 10 days before the start of this year's gun deer season, sales of gun deer licenses are up 9% over 2019. Whether they're new hunters or people who just took a couple of years off, we're certain these hunters will find something unique to enjoy in the experience that is hunting in Wisconsin.On today's episode, we spoke with a couple of hunters. One who got into the sport within just the last couple of years and one who has been doing it pretty much his entire life. To learn more about what makes deer hunting in Wisconsin so special. Though our two guests come from different backgrounds and have different experience levels one thing is clear. They are passionate about hunting. So sit back and listen in to hear their stories. First up is Carissa Freeh. CARISSA: [00:01:44] Yeah. Hello. My name is Carissa Freeh. Um, I am currently a Wildlife Biologist, uh, for Pheasants Forever and I work in central Wisconsin. Prior to my job with Pheasants Forever I held, um, a couple of different positions with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources in the Wildlife Health section. And then as a Field Biologist up in Merrill, Wisconsin. KATIE: [00:02:10] How long have you been hunting for?CARISSA: [00:02:13] I began actually hunting um, I believe in about 2014. Um, my first hunt was actually kind of unique. Um, It was... a mentored raccoon hunt. KATIE: [00:02:29] Very cool. Tell us a little bit how you, how you ended up going on a, a mentored raccoon hunt.CARISSA: [00:02:35] Sure. So I, uh, went to college at UW Madison and after a little bit of soul searching, ended up majoring in Wildlife Ecology and just absolutely fell in love with the major and my peers. And I actually didn't have a hunting background growing up. Um, my immediate family did not hunt and some of my uncles and distant relatives who did, um, we're not living in Wisconsin. So I just was really never exposed to it. And in one of my college courses it was just highly recommended that you know, those of us going into the field of wildlife management, um, to at least just take a Hunter Safety course with hunters being such a big stakeholder and important in the conservation world.Um, they just thought it would be really important for us, you know, in our careers moving forward that we understood kind of that, that hunting heritage that's so rich in Wisconsin. So that was kind of my intention. Um, so I, took Hunter Safety for that reason. And afterwards was still you know, very interested in hunting.And shortly after finishing my course, I started getting some emails and saw some flyers of Learn to Hunt courses that the DNR was hosting. And it, it just so happened that the first one I saw and a weekend that was available to me was a Learn to Raccoon Hunt course. So that was super fun. It was a weekend course where we just learned about the management of hunting in general, and particularly, um, hunting with hounds, raccoon hunting. And I was successful in the mentored hunt and harvesting my first ever animal, which was a raccoon. And really just fell in love with the comradery and the people just being so willing to teach and share and particularly fell in love with dogs. Because of that I now have my own hound and do a little bit of bird hunting as well. And deer hunting and turkey hunting, but it all really just kind of started with that first mentored hunt.KATIE: [00:04:40] So tell me about how you went from small raccoons to hunting something big, like deer.CARISSA: [00:04:47] So, after my first Learn to Hunt class I just really wanted to learn more. And I think what really sparked the next step, um, in particularly hunting deer, was the motivation of food. And so the next, uh, Learn to Hunt course again, that I actually took through the DNR was, a Learn to Hunt for Food class that was targeted around deer hunting. And this was a longer course. I think it ran a couple of months and we would, we would meet and have class, and it was much more in depth of a course. Um, because instead of, you know, some of our standards, like youth hunts, where a lot of the youth that maybe attend, um, have family members that have already exposed them to, you know, what to look for when hunting deer or the equipment you need.Or even how to properly butcher a deer. This class was really geared towards more of those adults who had the interest and motivation to hunt for sustainable meats. And so the class went into all those details and talked about firearms and firearm handling. And we had days that we got to go in the field together and basically scout for good deer hunting spots. And the teachers of that course you know, taught us what to look for, what signs to look for. We had a course on butchering the deer. Um, so that would, we would ultimately be self-sufficient in doing that once we completed the course. Like many of the Learn to Hunt classes, they culminate in a mentored hunt. And I was fortunate enough to get paired with a mentor who's actually a DMAP cooperator. So, the Deer Management Assistance Program. Um, he's a cooperator in that program, and I was paired up with him and on a September afternoon I harvested my first deer at his property. KATIE: [00:06:44] Tell me a little bit about what it was like to actually be successful in that, and what did it mean to you to be successful?CARISSA: [00:06:52] You know, it's really, it's really difficult to pinpoint what it means. And I think that that's something that I value so much about hunting is the fact that it is such a unique experience person to person. It's incredibly hard to describe like there are some tangible things that I can take away of why I enjoy hunting and continue to do it.And some that are a little bit less tangible and I guess, hard to communicate. Um, but I do recall on that my first deer hunt, it was... it was incredibly overwhelming. At first it was this feeling of, Oh, what did I do? You know, I absolutely love wildlife. I'm fascinated with wildlife. And so there's that, you know, moment of almost shock when you are responsible for taking a life.And so that lasted, you know, for the first half an hour or so, but that quickly changed and it quickly changed because of the support and comradery back at camp. And so ultimately what it meant to me is... I felt incredibly self-sufficient. Like, I had just been through a course and was able to retrieve that animal and get it back and butcher it and package it and, you know, eat that meat over the following year. There was just, you know, that yeah, the self-sufficiency of doing that on your own and knowing that I was eating sustainable, uh, local foods. KATIE: [00:08:22] Yeah, for sure. Would you say that for you it's that self-sufficiency that, that food aspect that keeps you coming back? Or is there something else that keeps you coming back to hunting year after year?CARISSA: [00:08:34] Um, it definitely originated with hunting for food. And that is one main reason that keeps me coming back. But it's kind of evolved since then. Um, you know, since hunting and this first mentored hunt back in like 2014, I have continued to deer hunt on my own now or with family and friends, um, assisting me.It has evolved in the motivations that keep me coming back year to year. And some of those that I've seen are how quickly I'm able... Like it wasn't that long ago that I was the student and I was the one learning. Um, and in the few short years that I've been hunting, I've already found myself in scenarios to help new hunters around me or even longtime hunters.Um, and so something that actually comes to mind that is such a motivation for me is just assisting others and seeing other people's joy, um, from harvesting a deer. Um, actually just last week a close friend of ours harvested his first deer ever. And so it was really fun to help him track, um, and be there and help him, you know, learn how to field dress that deer.And I got to assist in that, even though it wasn't that long ago that I was a student myself. Um, but again I would say one of the biggest motivations keeps looping back to that community aspect. And so our friend came and we helped him butcher the deer and help him package it and told him the different cuts of meat and gave him some ideas on recipes.And he just told me that this past weekend he made a venison roast for his family and had his entire family over for a meal. Which is something that he has never done before. And so it was just kind of such a joy to live through other people's successes as well. So that community aspect is big um, in terms of the motivation that keeps me coming back year to year. In my first few years of hunting, um, it definitely has evolved.And I was thinking about this a little bit and it's kind of a strange motivation, but it is definitely very valid in that is honestly the mystery behind it. So I was just thinking about this and you know, like, why am I excited to go out this fall? Why am I excited to get out in the stand? Because... just like the years before the intent is the same, ideally to get some sustainable meat on the table to ideally have some time with friends and family and share stories to just be in the natural world.Um, because I have such a fascination with wildlife. It's just so wonderful to be out there. But one of the best parts is the mystery. Every time you walk into the woods, you never know if you're going to see zero deer or 10 deer, if you might spot the biggest buck of your life, if you might see a bear or turkeys or other wildlife, maybe the chance that even seeing like an albino deer.Um, so one of, one of the biggest motivations and I guess which... what keeps it exciting is the fact that there's just so many unknowns and there's so much mystery. And every time you walk into the woods, it's just going to be a new experience.KATIE: [00:12:01] That's actually a really cool way of thinking of it that I've never heard anyone express before. So thank you for sharing that, you know, you don't know what you're going to find in the woods. You don't know if you'll be successful. Um, and I think that that adds to the challenge. And like you said, the excitement, so... very cool. So for you, I know you've talked a lot about the, the community side of things. What is that like to be a deer hunter in Wisconsin? What does that mean to you?  CARISSA: [00:12:28] To me specifically to be a deer hunter in Wisconsin, it feels like a love of place. I just feel like it is so ingrained in the history and heritage of the people around us now, and people many, many, many years before us. And so, yeah, definitely love of place.I just feel like a lot of Wisconsinites in general and particularly wisconsin hunters have this passion for where they live. A passion for where they recreate. This passion for the diversity and the landscapes that are offered in our state. Um, and so it definitely feels like to be a deer hunter it's just  have a love of home and a love of place. KATIE: [00:13:10] What are you most looking forward to in this 2020 deer season? I know 2020 has been a bit of a crazy time. Um, it's, it's a little bit, not what anyone has expected, but what are you most looking forward to this year? CARISSA: [00:13:25] Yeah. It is a difficult year. I guess I'll preface that a little bit with the fact that the last two years, a group of friends and colleagues of mine created our own little version of, um, deer camp.It's a ladies only deer camp. Since most of us there, um, didn't start hunting until a little bit later in life. Most of us, um, did not grow up, you know, hunting with mom or dad. And so we kind of have this connection and that, you know, we're all ladies, which not as many women are hunters and we all are more or less, relatively new to hunting.And so the past couple of years, we had this deer camp where we got together and just the comradery hunting together, helping each other, sharing equipment. But just that time, I just was probably the thing I looked forward to the most in the last two years. And so in a normal year I would say that that is again, what I would be looking most forward to was, um, our ladies deer camp.And unfortunately, due to the pandemic, we're not going to be able to get together like we have the last couple of years, but still, um... what I'm most looking forward to this season is finding a way for us to get together and enjoy hunting together. We're not quite sure how it might look yet, but what I'm most looking forward to this year is seeing friends I have not seen in a long time, um, and just celebrating the best time of the year.KATIE: [00:14:59] For sure. I know we've kind of here at the DNR, talked about different ways that people can still experience that community, that comradery, even if we can't physically get together. And one of the things we talked about, you know, was utilizing those group chats or, you know, I know we're all zoomed out. We spend too much time on the computer, but just, you know, doing a quick FaceTime after someone gets their deer and being able to celebrate that together.So I think there it's, like you said, it's going to look different, but there, there are ways to make that happen. For sure. So. Obviously, you know, as you talked about Wisconsin, hunting has been a thing in this state for many years. A lot of our, our residents have, have grown up hunting, but we also have a lot of people who have never hunted before much like you hadn't until recently. What would you say to someone regardless of age, sex, race, you know, wherever in the state that they're from, if they're on the fence about getting into the woods and giving hunting a try, what, what advice would you give them? CARISSA: [00:16:02] Yeah, if I was giving advice to, um, a non hunter who, who may be interested, um, I guess just kind of reflecting back on, on my early experience, the advice I would give is... there is no expectation. One of my biggest fears when kind of looking down this path and following my interest in learning how to hunt was that I didn't have the equipment.I had never handled a gun. I didn't know how to field dress a deer. And so I guess the advice I would give is that there is no expectation and there is no right way. I learned very quickly that, you know, old pair of Goodwill jeans and a hand me down orange coat from a mentor, um, is all you need. I've been very fortunate and I would want other people out there to know who may be interested, that there are lots of people willing to help.Our biggest challenge is connecting the right mentors with mentees. Like how do we find people who are close, you know, located or live near each other that we can make it work. But there's so much help out there. The other thing I would say is there's no expectation with harvesting an animal. In some of my early classes, there was at least one peer of mine that when a deer presented itself for a shot, uh, they were....they weren't comfortable with it. And so my biggest advice is there's no expectations. And just to kind of learn with yourself and go with your gut and that there are people out there willing to help.KATIE: [00:17:41] Thanks, Carissa. We can't wait to hear how your deer season goes. Next up is a conversation with Jim Wipperfurth. Someone who has been hunting almost as long as he can remember. He's also spent a good chunk of his time mentoring others through their first hunts. Take it away, Jim. JIM: [00:17:59] All right. So I am actually a retired DNR Wildlife Technician. I retired from there four years ago. Um, I'm a Hunter Safety instructor. Uh, also have taught the DNR's Learn to Hunt Turkey and Learn to Hunt Deer classes. And, uh, avid hunter. I've hunted pretty much all my life. Hunt, fish trap, all the outdoor stuff. KATIE: [00:18:21] Fantastic. So you said that you've hunted pretty much your whole life. Do you remember how old you were when you first started hunting? JIM: [00:18:27] Well, when I first legally hunted you had to be 12 years old. So that's how old I am. So, so now we can hunt earlier, you know, with the mentor hunting laws, but we didn't have that back then. So when I was 12 years old, I got my first hunting license and I have had a license, a deer license every year, since then. And I've also had small game licenses every year, since then. So that's been... I'm 61 now so that's been almost 50 years. KATIE: [00:18:53] There've been a few years in there for sure. Was it deer that you went hunting for first or was there something else? JIM: [00:19:00] I think... back then we all started with small game. So I was a squirrel hunter. I mean, it was when I was 12 years old I was a squirrel hunter first because that season opened first. That was open early in September or October and the deer season didn't open until November and there wasn't as much archery hunting back then as there is now. And my dad was not a bow hunter so I never bow hunted until I was at least, oh, I think I was 17 or 18. So it was a few years since I was a bowhunter. KATIE: [00:19:27] So was this something, you know, where you wanted to do it for a specific reason or were you interested in it because it was what your family had done? Or tell me a little bit about how you got started.JIM: [00:19:39] Yeah. For sure. My dad is, was a big hunter and still hunts. He's 86 and doesn't get around to hunt as much as he used to, but he still likes to get out. So that's what we did. All my cousins, all my uncles. That was the big thing. We hunted. When there, there was no computer games, no video games, you know, there was three stations on TV, so our entertainment was to go out and hunt. And so that's how I learned to hunt.KATIE: [00:20:03] For sure. Is there a favorite memory that you have from your childhood hunting that you  might mind sharing? JIM: [00:20:10] There are so many, but I will say my, I can remember my first deer, which was shot actually about half a mile from where I live right now. I can give you every detail of that one.It would be a long enough story, but, but, uh, I shot him... I was driving, my dad and I were driving. It was about lunchtime and we were driving back to our house and my mom was out. She always would drive around looking for deer. This is back in the day and we were in Dane County. And she was parked in the road in front of us and said, a deer just ran across the road right here.And she was excited to see it. So I was 14 at the time, so I could legally hunt by myself. So my dad and I took off across the field, the woods to get back where we expected that deer to run. And I, of course being 14, beat my dad back there and then the deer came running across the field where we expected it to, which never seems to work nowadays.But I remember I shot that deer. So like I say, it was a half a mile from where I live right now. So, so the first of everything is always one that I remember. So that was my first deer. Ever. And I think it was a nub buck. It wasn't a big deer, but it didn't matter. Your first deer doesn't matter if it's a nub buck or a 30 pointer, they're all, all special.KATIE: [00:21:24] For sure. That's very cool that you have such a fond memory. Do you have another favorite memory from all of your years hunting? JIM: [00:21:32] I will say one of my... I'm a big turkey hunter now. And back in... 50 years ago, we didn't have turkeys here. So this is, you know, these are the much more recent memories, but even those are 20...getting to be 25, 30 years old. But one of the best ones is... my wife actually shot a turkey and she is not really a hunter, but she was seeing all the fun we were having. I was taking my nephews out and she said she would go if it was going to be 70 degrees. Cause she doesn't like the cold weather. So we went and we hunted across the road from where we live now.And we tracked and tracked and tracked and never heard a turkey. And at that time you could only hunt till noon. So we were... I think it was 10:30, we were about probably a mile and a half from the... our house right now, from where we started. And I had three or four mouth calls and went thru all of them. And I had one that never, ever got a turkey to answer.I figured I got nothing to lose. It's 10:30. We haven't heard a turkey all morning. I put that in. Turkey gobbled back at me. And he wasn't very far away so we set up on him and he came right in, strutted in front of us. And my wife was sitting just a little bit below me and she couldn't see the turkey. I could see him plain as day, but she could not get a shot.And finally, I just let the turkey walk away. And then she's, I said, let's circle around and see if we can get a better angle on him. Maybe he'll come back in and we snuck around and came back at a different angle... and called and that turkey came right in and she shot him. That's the only turkey she's ever shot.And it was a 24 and 1/2 pound tom and it was 11... I think it was 11:25 or 11:30 um, when, when she finally got that bird and like I say, we could only hunt until noon. So that is a very fond memory of mine.KATIE: [00:23:14] You've been hunting, obviously for quite some time. You said about 50 years. What is it about hunting in general? Um, and and maybe specifically deer hunting, but I think we can talk, talk hunting in general, that keeps you coming back year after year.JIM: [00:23:30] Boy. That's a really complicated question. It's, it's kind of a drive. If you're a dyed in the wool hunter like I am. And there... I know quite a few people that are. It's just an inner drive that just keeps me coming back. I think all of... there's so many factors. It's the interaction with the animal... the, you try to fool their senses and their senses are, as anybody who hunts knows, pretty sharp. Um, just the challenge of getting close. I love archery deer hunting because you have to get close and I'm a traditional guy so I shoot a longbow.  So I really have to get them close. So, um, the comradery with hunting with family and friends, that's getting to be more and more of a, of a, a bigger part of my hunting. I'd rather hunt with somebody. And that doesn't mean necessarily sitting with me. If we're going bow hunting. But to get together and then go hunt and get back together and share stories and share experiences and help each other out.Um, mentoring new people is getting... is more and more important. I'd just love to do that. I love to see people get their first deer, their first turkey. Um, so many things. Being part of nature. Just being outside watching the seasons change. I've been hunting, bow hunting... now it's November. So we've been out since September.So I've seen the leaves go from green and the woods being thick. To watching the leaves fall down, turn brown, you know, all of a sudden it's cleared out. You know, animals getting more active now in November. So it's just so many things. So, I don't know if it's, it's not easy to explain it, but I can just say that it's a drive.KATIE: [00:25:06] Yeah. I can totally understand that. You know, we've talked to a couple of different people about this and in my time doing this podcast, I've talked to several different guests about similar things. And that is one thing that always comes up is that challenge. And that, you know, you don't know what you're going to end up with. So that's very cool. JIM: [00:25:24] It's kind of like, I think there's kind of like, Las Vegas gambling. Cause you put a little more in and put a little more in and sometimes it works, most of the time it doesn't. But when you do get the big payoff, which for a hunter would be, you know, getting, you know, a big buck or even any buck or... compared to being in Vegas, hitting the big payoff. Even when that finally happens, it just seems to make everything you've done worthwhile. KATIE: [00:25:51] That is a perfect analogy for it. What is it like to be a deer hunter in Wisconsin? JIM: [00:25:58] What is it like? That is a very difficult question. So for me, I don't know what people do in November if they're not deer hunting. To be a deer hunter in Wisconsin is, is a privilege for one. We have such a great deer population, a great tradition in Wisconsin that I guess I have a hard time coming up with what it's like to be a deer hunter because that's just who I am. And, you know, it's not, it's not a hobby if... it's just something that I am. It's part of me. So it's... for me, it's just exciting. KATIE: [00:26:30] I know, you mentioned that mentoring is, is something you've done a lot of and something that you're pretty passionate about. What would you say to someone, whether they, you know, come from a background where they've grown up with family hunting, or maybe they've never known anyone who's hunted before in their lives, what would you say to them if they may be on the fence and thinking about getting in the woods this season? JIM: [00:26:55] Yeah. Anyone who's on the fence. If you can find a way to hunt. And the way... really the way the hunt is to find a mentor. Find someone that will take you out. And that can be difficult. You might have to search around and maybe you don't know anybody that hunts, but the thing to do is find out who the Hunter Safety instructors are in your area and give them a call.And they may... may not be able to do it themselves, but they may have some suggestions for you. That is one of the hard parts of the COVID because we have not been able to do our Learn to Hunt classes. And we see it every year. People come in that want to learn to deer hunt. We see their enthusiasm and, you know, they look at deer hunting a little bit differently.A lot of that is more the food aspect, but once they get involved and see the excitement part of it, and just the pure fun of it... they're hooked. So, so the hardest part of becoming a new deer hunter is that first step. And a lot of that is just having a mentor to show you those steps, finding a place to go.So, so if you, if you think you want to go, you know, right now start asking around and find somebody that'll take you hunting. And even if they say, I'll take you along, but you can't bring a gun... go along. And that's one way to at least get a foot in the door, see if you enjoy it. Um, I guess, you know, try your best. Anybody that wants to hunt should try it. KATIE: [00:28:15] You've been listening to Wild Wisconsin, a podcast brought to you by the Wisconsin DNR.

Our February Security Voices episodes are a 2 part series where Jack and I focus on our “day jobs”, starting with the current episode on Open Raven. Part 2 will be the very first podcast we recorded, but never released where Dave interviews Jack on the origins and escapades of B-Sides. This is close as we intend to come to promoting anything explicitly on Security Voices and if you’re completely allergic to even the scent of such things, join us back in March where we’ll pick back up with an interview of the Chief Scientist at a high-profile security company. In the meantime, we thought you might appreciate a little background on what Jack and Dave do outside of Security Voices as it understandably colors our perspective, from the questions we ask to the stories we tell. Open Raven was officially founded in April of 2019 by Dave and Mark Curphey, whom some will recall was the focus of episode 5 of Security Voices. Rather than solely focus on the founders, something we feel happens entirely too much, we felt you might like to hear from the people building the product itself. Consequently, Dave emcees the episode as we interview the Open Raven team members on topics from the graph back-end to how the company is branded and thinks about UX. The content is at times a little technical but should still be approachable by most and it should give you a sense of the design decisions one makes in an early stage company.Throughout the episode you will hear the authentic voice of the team as they share the principles driving what Open Raven is building along with the pain and successes along the journey.

Maura Gast (FCDME, past Chair of Destination International and the CEO of the Irving CVB), is one of the true thought leaders in the Destination Marketing space. In this episode of DMOU, she talks about the changes and upgrades to CDME and DMAP...and, how she helped guide Irving's renaissance into a meetings, events and entertainment mecca.

Bob Nack, Big Game Specialist with the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources is ready to enlist the help of more Wisconsinites in monitoring the states white-tailed deer herd.  DMAP, Deer Management Assistance Program, is an option for land owners to partner with the DNR and get some advice on how to handle their individual deer situations. Reba McClone has an update on Wisconsin grape growers and their "wait and see" approach this spring. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good habitat is the key to a successful hunt. Best part? We've got the tools to help you create a space that deer can't resist. Join DNR staff Bob Nack and Eric Canania, along with DMAP cooperators Kim Zuhlke and Curt Jacob to learn more about why good habitat can help fill your freezer this fall and improve your land for all types of wildlife.

Tue, 31 May 2011 12:00:00 +0100 https://edoc.ub.uni-muenchen.de/13119/ https://edoc.ub.uni-muenchen.de/13119/1/Larionov_Evgeny.pdf Larionov, Evgeny ddc:540, ddc:500, F

One of the important transformations of alcohols to esters is the reaction with acetic anhydride catalysed by 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP) in the presence of an auxiliary base like triethyl amine. Although this is a widely used reaction, several questions left unaddressed until now: the reaction mechanism of the latter transformation was not completely conceived. Since Steglich and Litvenencko found DMAP in 1969 independently as nucleophilic catalyst, there was hardly any effort to search for new nucleophilic catalysts of higher catalytic efficiency than DMAP or 4-(pyrrolidinyl)pyridine (PPY). All chiral nucleophilic catalysts are based on these structural motifs and due to their lack of catalytic efficiency, there are hitherto no examples for kinetic resolution experiments of tertiary alcohols described. In this dissertation, the following goals were achieved: With computational methods, the reaction pathway of tert-butanol with acetic anhydride in the presence of DMAP was explored. Based on these results a fast computational tool was developed to screen for more efficient nucleophilic catalysts. The best candidates were synthesised, the catalytic efficiency quantified and the best catalysts applied in the synthesis of esters. The reaction mechanism of the acetylation of tert-alcohols was explored by calculating the nucleophilic and base catalysed reaction pathway of tert-butanol with acetic anhydride in the presence of DMAP at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory. In the course of this study, a nucleophilic and base catalysed reaction pathway with DMAP as catalyst was found. The energetically lowest transition state of the base catalysed reaction pathway is 37.9 kJ mol-1 higher in energy then the energetically lowest transition state in the rate-determining step of the nucleophilic reaction path. The combination of kinetic measurements with the calculation of the nucleophilic reaction path reveals that no triethyl amine is involved in the rate-determining step of nucleophilic reaction pathway. This shows clearly that nucleophilic catalysis is the preferred and that the acetate anion is deprotonating the alcohol in the rate-determining step. Furthermore, the results of the recalculation of the nucleophilic reaction path with a different catalyst show that a higher stabilisation of the transient acylpyridinium cation has a pivotal influence on the overall reaction rate of the ester formation. Therefore, relative acetylation enthalpies (ΔH298) were calculated at B3LYP/6-311+G(d,p)//B3LYP/6-31G(d) level of theory by using an isodesmic reaction approach. In this way a large number of new nucleophilic catalysts were screened and numerous promising candidates were synthesised which have a larger negative ΔH298 value then DMAP (-82.1 kJ mol 1). The catalytic effiency of the new nucleophilic catalysts was quantified by a test reaction using 1 equiv. of 1-ethynylcyclohexanol, 2 equiv. of acetic or isobutyric anhydride and 3 equiv. triethyl amine. The conversion of 1-ethynylcyclohexyl acetate or -isobutyrate was monitored by 1H NMR spectroscopy. Pyrido[3,4-b]pyrazine- and pyrido[3,4 b]quinoxaline-derivatives show the best catalytic effiency. Especially (rac) 5,10-diethyl-5,5a,6,7,8,9a,10-octahydropyrido[3,4 b]-quinoxaline (DOPQ) shows equal to better catalytic efficiency then 6,6-tricyloaminopyridine (TCAP), which was hitherto the best nucleophilic catalyst. DOPQ can be synthesised very efficiently in a four step protocol starting from commercially available 3,4-diaminopyridine and cyclohexane-1,2-dione with an overall yield of 45 % while TCAP is only available in a five step synthesis with an overall yield of 8-13 %. The synthesis of DOPQ starts with the Schiff-base formation of 3,4-diaminopyridine and cyclohexane-1,2-dione. Reduction with LiAlH4 yields the cis-configured octahydro[3,4-b]quinoxaline, which can be alkylated without the use of any protecting group in the presence of acetic anhydride in pyridine and subsequent reduction with LiAlH4/AlCl3 to yield DOPQ. The structure of the latter compound was confirmed by X ray single crystal structure. The new catalysts were applied to an enhanced Gooßen esterification to transform sterically hindered acids to their tert-butyl esters. The reaction mechanism was explored by monitoring the substrate, intermediate and product conversions with 1H NMR spectroscopy. With this enhanced reaction protocol, it was possible to transform 1-phenylcyclohexane carboxylic acid into the tert-butyl ester under high concentration conditions at room temperature in the presence of 5 mol% DOPQ within 270 min while with the standard DCC/DMAP protocol only the anhydride of the carboxylic acid is formed. With this very mild method, it was possible to convert a variety of substrates into their tert-butyl- and benzyl esters, which are not accessible with any other method starting from the free carboxylic acid. In the case of chiral substrates no lose of stereochemical information was detected. Combination of high concentration conditions and new catalysts provide attractive reaction times of a few minutes instead of several hours with the Gooßen protocol.

Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Totalsynthese der Meeresalkaloide Haliclorensin und Halitulin. Die verschiedenen Synthesestrategien, die zum Aufbau der Halitulin-Struktur verfolgt werden, basieren teilweise auf Überlegungen zur Biosynthese. Neben den Synthesezielen konnten deshalb zahlreiche neuartige Alkaloide und Aminosäuren synthetisiert werden, die als Biosynthesevorläufer von Halitulin denkbar sind. Sie stehen als Testsubstanzen für die Struktur-Aktivitäts-Optimierung des hochwirksamen Cytostatikums Halitulin zur Verfügung. Entscheidend für die erfolgreiche Synthese vieler in dieser Arbeit beschriebener Verbindungen sind zwei neu entwickelte Varianten altbekannter Reaktionen. So lassen sich 7,8-Dihydroxychinoline aus 3-Aminocatecholen durch eine milde Variante der Skraup- Reaktion herstellen. Der effektive Zugang zu den bisher nur aufwendig synthetisierbaren 3- Aminocatecholen wird durch eine modifizierte Baeyer-Villiger-Oxidation ermöglicht. Das letzte Kapitel des speziellen Teils beschäftigt sich mit der katalytischen Wirkung von neuartigen 4-Aminopyridin-Derivaten, die in einer Reihe mit den weithin bekannten und vielseitig eingesetzten Katalysatoren 4-(Dimethylamino)pyridin (DMAP) und 4-Pyrrolidinopyridin (PPY) stehen. Es konnte gezeigt werden, dass − verglichen mit dem bisher wirksamsten Katalysator PPY − weitere Effektivitätssteigerungen möglich sind.
