Kiwifruit
Kiwifruit is the edible berry of several species of woody vines in the genus Actinidia. The most common cultivar group of kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis var. deliciosa 'Hayward') is oval, 5–8 centimetres (2–3 inches) in length and 4.5–5.5 cm (1+342+14 in) in diameter. Kiwifruit has a thin, fuzzy, fibrous, tart but edible, light brown skin and light green or golden flesh with rows of tiny, black, edible seeds. Kiwifruit is native to central and eastern China, with the first recorded description dating back to the 12th century during the Song dynasty. In 2023, world kiwifruit production was 4.4 million tonnes, led by China with 55% of the total. This focus-stacked photograph shows the cross-section of a kiwifruit grown in Portugal.Photograph credit: Ivar Leidus

iMac G4 with external peripherals
iMac G4 with external peripherals

The iMac G4 is an all-in-one personal computer produced by Apple Computer from January 2002 to August 2004. It comprises a hemispheric base that holds the computer components and a flatscreen liquid-crystal display (LCD) mounted above. The computer, first released in 1998, helped save Apple from bankruptcy. Development of the iMac G4 took roughly two years, with Apple's designers exploring multiple ways of marrying the display screen with the computer components. Its shape was inspired by a sunflower, with the display connected to the base via an adjustable stainless-steel arm that allows the monitor to be freely tilted and swiveled. The product was a critical and commercial success for Apple, selling more than 1.3 million units in its first year, and it was updated with faster components and larger displays before being replaced by the iMac G5 in September 2004. The machine is held in the collections of multiple museums, including the Museum of Modern Art and Museums Victoria. (Full article...)

The Church of the Good Shepherd, a Category 1 Historic Place at Lake Tekapo
The Church of the Good Shepherd, a Category 1 Historic Place at Lake Tekapo

There are thirty listed sites located in the Mackenzie District, a territorial authority in the Canterbury Region of the South Island of New Zealand. A large inland plain at the foothills of the Southern Alps, it was frequently visited by Māori hunting parties, but sparsely populated. European settlers established sheep runs in the area by the 1850s. Heritage New Zealand classifies sites on the New Zealand Heritage List / Rārangi Kōrero in accordance with the Heritage New Zealand Pouhere Taonga Act 2014. It distinguishes between Category 1 ("places of special or outstanding historical or cultural significance") and Category 2 ("places of historic or cultural significance"). The Mackenzie District has three Category 1 sites, one historic area, and twenty-six Category 2 sites. An additional Category 2 site—the War Memorial in Fairlie—was demolished in 1999 and delisted.

Margaret Hamilton

Margaret Hamilton (December 9, 1902 – May 16, 1985) was an American entertainer and educator, with a fifty-year career in entertainment spanning theater, film, radio and television. She was best known for her portrayal of the Wicked Witch of the West and her Kansas counterpart Almira Gulch in the 1939 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film The Wizard of Oz. A former schoolteacher, she worked as a character actress in films for seven years before she was offered the role that defined her public image. In later years, Hamilton appeared in films and made frequent cameo appearances on television sitcoms and commercials. She also gained recognition for her work as an advocate of causes designed to benefit children and animals and retained a lifelong commitment to public education. This photograph shows Hamilton as Miss Eddels in Sid and Marty Krofft's Sigmund and the Sea Monsters c. 1973.
