# Blue Man-i'-th'-Moss

Blue Man-i'-th'-Moss is a standing stone in the North York Moors in northern England. It lies on Wheeldale Moor on the route of the Lyke Wake Walk.
It is a parish boundary stone, but is believed to have been standing since pre-Roman times. It is 2 metres (6.6 ft) tall and has small boulders and stones set in the ground around its base. The stone is considerably weathered.
Traces of blue paint which once covered the stone can be seen in places. There is a letter 'E' with a date 1841 engraved on the south face. A memorial plaque was cemented at the base of the stone on the south side in 2003 but was subsequently removed in 2016.

# Thunbergia atriplicifolia

Thunbergia atriplicifolia, the Natal primrose, is a species of flowering plant in the family Acanthaceae, native to South Africa and Eswatini. It is a favored browse of the steenbok (Raphicerus campestris).

## Etymology

The genus name Thunbergia is named for Swedish naturalist Carl Thunberg, the father of South African botany. The adjective atriplicifolia is derived from the Latin, meaning that its foliage is similar to that of members of the Atriplex genus.

## Description

Thunbergia atriplicifolia is a perennial, sparsely to densely pubescent shrublet reaching up to 4 cm high. Re-sprouts from a woody base. Leaves are sessile or with petioles up to 4 mm long; blade is narrow to broad ovate with acute to obtuse apex and cordate to cuneate base, about 2.5–6.0 x 1.5–3.5 cm; margins are entire or toothed, usually only with two teeth at the base. Flowers are trumpet-shaped, pale creamy with yellow throat, 4–5 cm in diameter. Seeds are reddish- or greyish-brown with evenly arranged trichomes, 4-6 mm in diameter.

## Ecology

Thunbergia atriplicifolia is a subordinate grassland species where it grows best in both loam and sandy soil.

## Distribution

The species can be found through eastern South Africa.
# Antonio Abondio

Antonio Abondio (1538–1591) was an Italian sculptor, best known as a medallist and as the pioneer of the coloured wax relief portrait miniature.
Born in Riva del Garda, he was trained by Leone Leoni and worked in Italy between 1552 and 1565. Thereafter he mainly worked for the Habsburgs, with a few works made for French and Polish kings. He moved to Vienna to the court of Emperor Maximilian I and after his death in 1576 to Prague. He travelled to France, Netherlands and Germany. He died at Vienna in 1591.
His son Alessandro followed in his father's footsteps, also specializing in mythological and portrait reliefs, and marrying the widow of another court artist, Hans von Aachen.

## Work

Thirteen of Abondio's wax portraits survive, usually made on a round black slate base, decorated with tiny pearls and precious stones. He made about sixty portrait medals, with a portrait on the obverse and an allegory on the reverse side, some of them have silver enamelled framing. He also made the dies for the first coinage of Emperor Rudolf II. Initially his style in metal followed that of Leone Leoni, for the facade of whose house in Milan (Casa degli Omenoni) he carved eight large atlantes in stone, but later included many other influences.

# Leon Fukofuka

Leon Fukofuka (born 8 September 1994) is a rugby union player who currently plays as a halfback for Auckland in New Zealand's domestic Mitre 10 Cup and is a Tonga international.

## Early career

The son of former Auckland and Tonga Prop, Kalau Fukofuka, Leon was born and raised in West Auckland and played first XV rugby for Kelston Boys' High School, initially as a flanker before switching to halfback in year 11. After graduating from high school, he began playing for Marist in Auckland's Premier club rugby competition and also turned out for Auckland's sevens team.

## Senior career

He was first named in Auckland's senior squad for the 2014 ITM Cup and made a total of 7 appearances in the competition, although only 3 were starts as he largely played backup to the more experienced Junior Poluleuligaga. 2015 was largely a right-off as a shoulder injury restricted him to just a solitary appearance during Auckland's run to the ITM Cup Premiership final while 2016 saw him return to full fitness and play in all 10 of Auckland's regular season games as they finished in a disappointing 5th place which saw them miss out on the play-offs.

## Super Rugby

Despite his relative lack of experience, an injury to All Blacks halfback Tawera Kerr-Barlow paved the way for Fukofuka to be named in the Chiefs wider training group for the 2015 Super Rugby season. The presence of two excellent number 9s in the shape of Augustine Pulu and Brad Weber meant that Fukofuka didn't see any game time during the campaign and subsequently transferred to the Crusaders wider training group for 2016. With the franchise's first choice halfback Andy Ellis returning from a spell in Japan after the season had begun, Fukofuka was able to get some game time as back up to Mitchell Drummond, debuting as a substitute in a home game against his former side, the Chiefs. He found himself promoted to the senior squad for 2017 where he would compete against Drummond and new arrival from the Blues, Bryn Hall for a starting berth.

## International

Fukofuka was selected for the New Zealand Barbarians Schools side in 2012 and 2 years later was a member of the New Zealand Under-20 side which finished 3rd at the 2014 IRB Junior World Championship in his home country where he played once and scored one try.
