#fencing — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #fencing, aggregated by home.social.

  1. Interessant: de KNAS heeft schermen.org geredirect naar knas.nl. Na 1.5 jaar komt er dus een einde aan dit (mislukte) project dat toch vrij veel geld kostte (€7350,-).

    Schermen.org zou dé nieuwsplek voor het Nederlandse schermen worden. Op de website zouden regelmatig updates worden geplaatst over de verschillende wedstrijden, schermers en andere nieuwtjes.

  3. @zackwhittaker On Monday my daughter competed in her first national-level fencing competition. Seeded mid-20s (out of 40) she finished 10th, just outside the cut for the quarter-finals. She out-performed all the fencers present that she'd lost to while qualifying to represent her region, while hobbled through not having her coach present (only me, and I don't fence with her weapon) and managing her period.
    It was a storming result for her, AND she knows how she could have done better!

  6. @Natasha_Jay As someone who had a go at fencing (I lasted about a year) this makes competitive fencing so much more interesting and accessible. I can't follow what's happening in 'big league ' events because it's just to fast - this visualisation is excellent

  16. Animal friendly infrastructure - Road ecology

    "Some 40 million miles of roadways encircle the earth, yet we tend to regard them only as infrastructure for human convenience. While roads are so ubiquitous they’re practically invisible to us, wild animals experience them as entirely alien forces of death and disruption. , the harms of highways extend far beyond roadkill. "

  17. Somewhere there are changing attitudes - they are removing barbed wire fencing

    " Man removes 18km of barbed wire fencing from Victorian property to save wildlife. According to Entangled Wildlife Australia, 80 per cent of barbed wire entanglements occur on the top strand. Across Australia, there is a growing push to ban the use of barbed wire for property boundaries. Changing attitudes and behaviour are key if we are to create a safer environment for our wildlife."

  18. Shiny new barbed wire fences are going up around the Bellingen and Gleniffer area:

    "Barbed wire is a hidden killer of Aussie wildlife. Gliders, bats, owls and wallabies die tangled every year. Researchers have long documented sugar and squirrel gliders caught on barbed wire in roadside vegetation...Replacing barbed wire with plain fencing is a quick win for nature. It’s simple, cheap, lifesaving."

  20. Any #Ottawa recommendations for #fencing* companies?

    *no, not offering cash for stolen goods

    **no, not the art of sword-wielding

  21. Anyone have any recommendations for a queer/trans friendly kendo or fencing club in Portland, OR? I'm interested in doing either (or, with infinite time, both) and now that I have more mobility, I can probably actually even get to one! Recommendations appreciated!

  22. “Neither asked nor given…”

    Written by Alan Sharp, & directed by Michael Caton-Jones, ROB ROY (1995) is an underappreciated gem of Scottish film. It also contains what is widely regarded as one of the best swordfights in cinema history

  23. #Wikipedia - #HazelTrees! Another tree that is found in many locations in the Northern Hemisphere!

    Excerpt: "Corylus has around 14–18 species. The circumscription of species in eastern Asia is disputed, with World Flora Online and the Flora of China differing in which taxa are accepted, within this region. WFO accepts 17 species while Flora of China accepts 20 species (including Corylus mandshurica).

    Only those taxa accepted by both sources are listed below.

    The species are grouped as follows:

    Nut surrounded by a soft, leafy involucre, multiple-stemmed, suckering shrubs to 12 m tall
    Involucre short, about the same length as the nut
    - Corylus americana – American hazel, eastern North America
    - Corylus avellana – Common hazel, Europe and western Asia
    - Corylus heterophylla – Asian hazel, Asia
    - Corylus yunnanensis – Yunnan hazel, central and southern China
    Involucre long, twice the length of the nut or more, forming a 'beak'
    - Corylus colchica – Colchican filbert, Caucasus
    - Corylus cornuta – Beaked hazel, North America
    - Corylus maxima – Filbert, southeastern Europe and southwest Asia
    - Corylus sieboldiana – Asian beaked hazel, northeastern Asia and Japan (syn. C. mandshurica)
    Nut surrounded by a stiff, spiny involucre, single-stemmed trees to 20–35 m tall
    Involucre moderately spiny and also with glandular hairs
    - Corylus chinensis – Chinese hazel, western China
    - Corylus colurna – Turkish hazel, southeastern Europe and Asia Minor
    - Corylus fargesii – Farges' hazel, western China
    - Corylus jacquemontii – Jacquemont's hazel, Himalaya
    - Corylus wangii – Wang's hazel, southwest China
    Involucre densely spiny, resembling a chestnut burr
    - Corylus ferox – Himalayan hazel, Himalaya, Tibet and southwest China (syn. C. tibetica).

    "Several hybrids exist, and they can occur between species in different sections of the genus, e.g. Corylus × colurnoides (C. avellana × C. colurna). The oldest confirmed hazel species is Corylus johnsonii found as fossils in the Ypresian-age rocks of Ferry County, Washington.

    "Chilean hazel (Gevuina avellana), despite its name, is not related to this genus.

    Ecology

    "At least 21 species of #fungus have a #mutualistic relationship with hazel. Lactarius pyrogalus grows almost exclusively on hazel, and hazel is one of two kinds of host for the rare Hypocreopsis rhododendri. Several rare species of Graphidion lichen depend on hazel trees. In the UK, five species of moth are specialised to feed on hazel including Parornix devoniella. Animals which eat hazelnuts include #RedDeer, #dormouse and #RedSquirrel.

    Uses

    "The nuts of all hazels are edible. The common hazel is the species most extensively grown for its nuts, followed in importance by the #filbert. Nuts are also harvested from the other species, but apart from the filbert, none is of significant commercial importance.

    "A number of cultivars of the common hazel and filbert are grown as ornamental plants in gardens, including forms with contorted stems (C. avellana 'Contorta', popularly known as "Corkscrew hazel" or "Harry Lauder's walking stick" from its gnarled appearance); with weeping branches (C. avellana 'Pendula'); and with purple leaves (C. maxima 'Purpurea').

    "Hazel is a traditional material used for making #wattle, withy #fencing, #baskets, and the frames of #Coracleboats. The tree can be coppiced, and regenerating shoots allow for harvests every few years. There is a seven-year cycle (cut and grow) for hurdle (fence) making.

    "Hazels are used as food plants by the larvae of various species of #Lepidoptera including Eriocrania chrysolepidella.

    Culture

    "The #Celts believed hazelnuts gave one wisdom and inspiration. There are numerous variations on an ancient tale that nine hazel trees grew around a sacred pool, dropping into the water nuts that were eaten by salmon (a fish sacred to #Druids), which absorbed the wisdom. A Druid teacher, in his bid to become omniscient, caught one of these special salmon and asked a student to cook the fish, but not to eat it. While he was cooking it, a blister formed and the pupil used his thumb to burst it, which he naturally sucked to cool, thereby absorbing the fish's wisdom. This boy was called #FionnMacCumhail (Fin McCool) and went on to become one of the most heroic leaders in Gaelic mythology.

    " 'The #HazelBranch' from #Grimms' Fairy Tales claims that hazel branches offer the greatest protection from snakes and other things that creep on the earth. In the Grimm tale '#Cinderella', a hazel branch is planted by the protagonist at her mother's grave and grows into a tree that is the site where the girl's wishes are granted by birds."

  24. @adriabailton
    Do I also take my other talents to the public?

    I used to. I competed as a fencer in the Junior Olympics (twice), and the Under-19 and [regular] National championships.

    I played flute in my HS marching band, and I played recorder in the SCA (medieval recreationists) so folks could dance.

  25. @adriabailton
    Besides storytelling, do I have one or more other talents?

    I used to think so. I spent my formative years as a [very] competitive fencer.

    Thanks to my mother, I play the recorder and the flute. I'm a mostly self-taught guitarist as well.
