I would like to know how much Newt fencing was installed in the uk in 2006, Can anyone help me??|||NEW or NEWT or are you as p123 as a newt?|||Presume newt fencing is to confine newts to specific areas But how much. I have no idea.|||You could try asking natural england (was english nature) as all newt projects would have to be okayed by them first. There are so many sites and so many suppliers of fencing that this would be a pretty hard Q to answer. I'd be interested to know the answer too as I work with lizards and use a similar type of fencing. The link below is from one company who supply the fencing and gives some details of projects and the amount of fencing used.|||Try this site:

Should I add fencing and target practice to my list?
At 19, I've mastered Kung-Fu, Karate, Judo, Jujitsu, Tae-Kwon Do, and Aikido. Should I add fencing, target practice (shooting), or paint-ball to my list? Any of the three?|||Aha! You are a seeker of discipline.
Fencing focuses attention on one opponent.
Inside opponent or outside opponent?
You already know the answer.|||to truly master any of those arts, it would take a lot longer than 19 years, I will guess that you took lessons at a school as opposed to an actual teacher...

A rancher has 800 feet of fencing to put around a rectangular field ?
A rancher has 800 feet of fencing to put around a rectangular field and then subdivide the field into 3 identical smaller rectangular plots by placing two fences parallel to one of the field's shorter sides. Find the dimensions that maximize the enclosed area.
|||Length of shorter side: x
Length of longer side: y
We know that:
2y+4x=800
A=y*x=(400-2x)*x=400x-2x^2
To find the maximum:
A'=400-4x=0
x=100
y=400-2x=200|||2x+4(x/2)=800
so the two long sides would equal 100 and the two shorter sides would equal 100. Then the two dividing fences in between to give three smaler rectangular plots would also equal 100. So you have four 100 sides and two 200 sides which equals 800

How much does fencing cost per foot/yard?
I know there are different types- I'm interested in the costs of both wire and wood post and rail fencing.|||Unfortunately, there is no way to answer the question, since there are so many variables. Even though you indicated the general types of fencing, there are still too many variables left.
For metal fencing, you have to consider the height of the fence, and the materials - you can use any number of different types/gauges of chain link. Chain fences can also be upgraded or downgraded depending on security needs and concerns. You can also get chain link with a vinyl coating, desirable for certain applications like around commercial swimming pools, for example.
Wood fences are available in a wide array of styles, wood types, and sizes. Even something as simple as split rail has many variables: cedar or pine? 2 rail, 3 rail, or even 4 rail configurations?
Lastly, most reputable fence material suppliers will give quantity discounts, so if you have a very large enclosure, you can expect to pay less per linear foot.|||why not visit a Lowe's and a home depot to find out.
rubberized cyclone fencing will outlast wooden fencing by years and doesn't need maintenance look wood will.
i have a neighbor who put up an 8 foot fence about 5 years ago, look good at that time, bu after 5 years the wood looks like heck and the fence is actually leaning, his dogs also chewed holes in the bottom of the wood, so it really looks bad. the vinyl is beautiful but costs an arm and a leg.|||Chain Link 4' tall will cost you about $2 per foot for everything you need.|||Depends on the type of fence, what type are you wanting?

I might take up a fencing class an i would like to know Is fencing painful?
So are the blades in fencing sharp and pointy? do they hurt to get stabbed by? do they cut?|||Fencing is a very safe sport. None of the weapons are sharp, all of them are blunt. And, when you fence, you MUST wear the proper attire or your instructor will not let you near a sword.
There is a jacket, with is either made out of a very thick nylon or a kevlar material. That's the stuff they make bullet-proof vests out of. Then, there is the plastron, which is a half jacket that goes under the first jacket to protect your blade arm further. You must wear knickers (pants that go to the knee) or full pants. There is a glove that goes over your sleeve so that the blade of your opponent's weapon cannot reach your arm and there is the mask (the most important piece).
-Men are advised to wear a cup (yes, that's target area in foil), and women are required to wear chest protectors-
The worst injury that I have ever received during my fencing experience is a metal splinter because I grabbed my weapon out of its bag too quickly.
The worst injury I have ever witnessed is a twisted ankle...
The worst you will feel is MAYBE a bit of a sting, and that is only if the people hit hard...and if you are in a beginning class, they will be more worried about getting hit than hitting you.
I wish you the best of luck. Fencing is a blast! I hope you take the class. Maybe we'll end up competing in a tournament together one day...|||You should totally take up fencing. No the blades are not pointy. There is a rubber tip on the end of a foil, which is the weapon you will probably start out on, and you wear a mask that protects your face and a glove for your hand and a padded jacket so it doesn't hurt at all. Legs are off target (touches there don't count) so they seldom if ever get hit.|||If you're wearing the right equipment, nothing should happen. Also, fencing swords aren't particualrly desined to cut so you sould be fine.

Thanx for help, please.|||If you have an HOA odds are the "nice" side of the fence has to face out and the posts be inside the fence along with the "ugly" side. Why would you want to face the "ugly" side out? Erect the fence with the attractive side out. If you dont odds are people will assume you had no idea what you were doing when you put it up.

The biggest possible area for a rectangle is when it's a square. Take the 276 ft. of fencing and divide by 3. This equals 92 ft. So, each side of the wall is 92 ft. 92 ft. times 92 ft. equals 8464 sq. ft.|||the largest area is that approaching a square, so if each side were x themn

How do you wash a fencing glove?
I need to wash mine, but it has suede and microfiber. I know you can't wash leather gloves easily.Are there any precautions for suede or for fencing gloves in general? It's blue, yellow, white and gray, and is made by Athos. Thanks!|||According to Athos' website, they are currently selling just three gloves and from your description, it sounds like you're using the three-weapon glove (link below), which they say is washable. There are basically two ways to wash your glove: either in a sink or in a washing machine.
If you do it by hand, fill the sink with warm water, add your glove, and get it wet all the way through. Add a bit of gentle detergent (such as Woolite) and work it into the glove. You can even put the glove on and act as though you're washing your hands, which helps work the soap through from both sides. Once you're satisfied the glove's clean, drain the sink and rinse the glove under warm water -- inside and out! -- until there are no traces of soap left. Roll it in a towel and squeeze the towel to get as much water out of the glove as you can. (Don't twist and wring the glove.) Repeat this a time or two if necessary. Then lay the glove flat to dry.
If you toss it in the washing machine, I usually recommend that any glove with color be washed with similar colors just in case the dye bleeds. Be careful about what other items are in the wash with the glove and make sure the glove's velcro is fully fastened so it doesn't snag on anything else. (Note: Using an entire wash cycle on just one glove is silly!!) Wash with warm water, gentle or regular cycle, then roll in a towel and lay out as above to dry.
I toss my glove in with the rest of my kit but it also doesn't have any strong colors on it so bleeding isn't an issue.
Of course, to be completely certain, you can always contact Athos directly!|||I usually just wash them with the laundry in cold water, with no bleach.

The obvious solution is to install a zip line (a tie out that lets the dog have full freedom of the back yard but NOT get over or under a fence) and attach them to it, or do separate tie outs.

Like what can I do so that they completely leave a line open so I can lunge, or what can I do to get them off-guard so I can get them?
I need any tricks/techniques to be better at fencing!|||Use the beat to lightly tap the opponent's blade feeling for them to resist. If they overcomitt to resisting your beat to get them offline then the next time feint a beat to the blade, circle under their blade and lunge. This is easier to do if you learn how to use tight circular movements as a standard part of your beating the blade.
You can also use the rising beat with force off one of their feints to quickly riposte.
The key to what you want to do is sensitivity, to be able to feel how much pressure they have comitted against your blade and to be able to manipulate that pressure. You need to be able to read their body language and footwork correctly for intent.
It's challenging since they are also attempting to do the same. It's about practice over time and being able to learn and recognize general cues of intent.
Surprise attacks are about doing something the other person has never seen before. They are much easier to successfully do against novices. The better strategy is to focus on technique, timing, and rhythm. If you can recognize your opponent's rhythm and manipulate it at will then you will have a huge advantage.|||As you have asked for TRICKS rather than training, here are a list of the top of my head from those popular to throw of people at the club, just remember they tend not to work so well in competition or against those who have seen them a million times before. Other than the last which is a rarely used advanced move favoured by a past world champion.
Dropping the rear hand for no reason sharply as if you are about to lungs, then lunging as they move to engage the false blow. Play with this it's a mainstay and is usefull for a long time.
Standing up at your full hight and walking firmly and with speed towards the opponent with sword arm fully extended towards them. This doesn't tend to work more than a few times but with practice can also have a good lifespan when you add your normal techniques.
Lunging to the point of almost falling face first on the ground, placing the off hand to the ground in order to continue moving the extended arm and push yourself up and under the oponents guard for the point.|||ISDS has a great answer.
One that I did when I was fencing in high school was lower my foil and turn slightly to open a target. You're creating a 6 inch square where you're undefended to invite them in. As they commit, turn back away (narrow yourself) and thrust in at their chest. They'll glide past, and you'll make contact.
Fencing's not easy by any stretch, but learning to control where your opponent will attack will make you a far better fencer.|||read george silvers works on the english school of fencing its amazing and ever since reading i have dumped most of what i have learned in epee/foil for this truer style of both cut and thrust sword fighting that doesnt even use the lunge

Lunging to the point of almost falling face first on the ground, placing the off hand to the ground in order to continue moving the extended arm and push yourself up and under the oponents guard for the point.|||ISDS has a great answer.
One that I did when I was fencing in high school was lower my foil and turn slightly to open a target. You're creating a 6 inch square where you're undefended to invite them in. As they commit, turn back away (narrow yourself) and thrust in at their chest. They'll glide past, and you'll make contact.
Fencing's not easy by any stretch, but learning to control where your opponent will attack will make you a far better fencer.|||read george silvers works on the english school of fencing its amazing and ever since reading i have dumped most of what i have learned in epee/foil for this truer style of both cut and thrust sword fighting that doesnt even use the lunge

Also what he calls "true times" really screws with modern sport fencers for some reason thats why i recomended this text|||By surprise we trick by attack some target,after they defense then we change to attack another target.
Open our weak point,lie them to attack then surprise them with trap.|||Stop, let down your guard, then point above and behind them and shout "LOOK OUT THERES A BAT" then when they are shocked and turn around to look, you lunge in and score the point|||Step on the opponents feet.|||Yes, focus and practice!|||Maybe surprise them by yelling and screaming like u lost ur mind....

Is there a better material than maraging steel to construct fencing blades?
I'm working on an assignment whose purpose is ta find a better metal to construct blades for sword's used in Fencing.The type of sword i choose is foiled!Thanks in advance :)|||No. In fact, maraging steel is major overkill for this application. Plus it is a controlled military material, so you would have a lot of grief from ITAR if you actually tried to use it. For this application you need high strength and high modulus. If you look in a book of steel alloys then you could find the second best material, but you already know the best.
I have seen fencing foils for sale that claim to be made of maraging steel, I don't know what is really going on here.

a rectangular garden is to be enclosed on three sides by fencing; the fourth side is the side of a barn. you have $750 to spend and the appropriate fencing costs $2.75 per linear foot. what are the dimensions of the largest garden that you can enlose and how much will it cost?|||I can tell this is math homework. No gardener would put their stuff up against a barn... nothing would grow in shade like that.
$750 / 3 = $250 each of the 3 sides
$250 = 90.91
Therefore you should make each of the three sides 90 feet, for a cost of $742.50.
Unless you want to go down to the mm.
But now it's not rectangular, it's a square.
You also never said how wide the barn was.... there is a possibility that you could make the fence too wide and there would be a gap of which it is impossible to know about with this question.|||Math homework, definitely math homework.
The largest area (for a given length of fence, i.e. a max cost of fence) will be surrounded by a fence that's twice as long (along the barn side), as it is deep.
Depending upon what grade you are in will determine how you decide this. If you have differential calculus, you should know min-max applications. Otherwise, you'll have to make a table and look for the trend toward the largest area value. My kids had this in fifth grade, it's a well-known problem.

How bad is the asymmetry caused by fencing?
How bad is the asymmetry caused by fencing?|||Most fencers don't have any noticeable asymmetry. Your particular build and practice/training schedule are key factors, of course, but if you're a casual fencer and practice one to three times a week, I doubt you'll notice anything. If you find yourself involved in heavy fencing training on the other hand (several hours a day, several days each week), hopefully you're being guided by someone who is also having you spend an appropriate amount of time working on the opposite sides as well in order to prevent any unevenness.
Even if you fence just once or twice a week, it's easy to spend a little extra time working the opposite arm and leg. Do a little basic foot- and hand-work left-handed (if you're a righty, vice versa otherwise), for example. Your mask makes a handy weight, by the way!
Just for an example, I'm a coach and fence from two to six hours a day, six days a week. But the only person who ever notes a difference between one side and the other is my massage therapist and she only notices it by touch.
